I think if I manage to juggle a personal life that I'm really happy with as well, as long as I manage to maintain balance, that's kind of the mark of success to me.
My mom used cold cream her whole life, and she's got great skin!
I don't ever want to feel like my whole life is laid out before me and I know exactly what's gonna happen. That would be so boring.
When you overcome a profound loss, or there's some catalyst in your life that shifts everything, if you're able to take it in stride and heal, it can make for much more three-dimensional and empathetic people.
