My life has flourished in so many ways both personally and professionally that I can't ask for a better life.

It's been the work that has carried me and I never wanted to rest on my laurels or go back and do what I done before.

I am stronger than I thought I was. My favorite phrase has been 'This too shall pass.' I now understand it really well.
