1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
I am most grateful for my family—my husband, children, grandchildren, mother and sister—and for God’s unconditional love and mercy in my life. Everyday is a gift and I am thankful for my unique path and purpose.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
The biggest change I want to make in my life is to learn, in a deeper way, to walk in inner confidence and joy.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
Feeling safe, loved and needed are definitely way up there on my list of best feelings; but I believe the BEST feeling in the world comes from a heart that is at peace.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
The single best “aha†moment of my life was when I realized I was free to develop my own “magic†and to love myself for who I am. This realization allowed me to celebrate my life like never before and to pursue my dream to not only help the world be a better place, but also to continue to become a better, kinder, more powerful and confident woman than I was yesterday.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
I love the sound of a full house when all my grown kids are in town for a visit, the blast of fighter jets overhead, screams from a rollercoaster, authentic old-fashioned merry-go-round music, and night-frogs in the summertime.
