I love to take, process and share photos - it fills me up.

I carry a small sheet of paper in my wallet that has written on it the names of people whose opinions of me matter. To be on that list, you have to love me for my strengths and struggles.

I love working the legislative process.

I can encourage my daughter to love her body, but what really matters are the observations she makes about my relationship with my own body.

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

Normally, when someone we love is turning away from a struggle, we self-protect by also turning away. That's definitely my first response. I think change is more likely to happen if both partners have common language and a shared lens to see problems.
