Having Cancer Empowered Me To Take More

From Time To Time, I'll Look Back Through The Personal Journals I've Scribbled In Throughout My Life, The Keepers Of My Raw Thoughts And Emotions. The Words Poured Forth After My Dad Died, When I Went Through A Divorce, And After I Was Diagnosed With Breast Cancer. There Are So Many What-ifs Scribbled On Those Pages.

I've Had Weight Issues All My Life. I've Been On All The Diets: Atkins, Liquid Protein, Scarsdale Diet. Now I Go To The Gym Often. I'm Always On The Stairmaster, And I Do Weights.

I Can't Remember A Time When My Mom Didn't Work. She Has Forever Been On The Move: A Go-getter. When My Brother Adel And I Had A Paper Route As Kids, My Mom Would Get Up Before Us At The Crack Of Dawn To Drop Off The Washington Post At Different Corners.

I Love Jennifer Aniston's Style. She Is Streamlined And Never Overdone. And Demi Moore Always Looks Classic, Gorgeous And Sophisticated.

Tone Is Often The Most Important Part Of A Conversation - And Listening Is So Much More Important Than What You Say.
