“Fifteen years ago I knew I had to settle into being a mom and give them a normal life, which I never had. I was always traveling. I had tours. I wanted my kids to settle down, and we kind of did it together.... It was a bumpy transition. There was no director telling me what to do. No script, but I really enjoyed it. I even became president of the PTA. Doing the laundry was a meditative experience. Now, when I start to get nervous and stressed, I go in and start to fold towels.” GivingYearsKindKidsWantedTogetherPresidentMomDirectorsNormalYears AgoDown AndScriptsNervousEnjoyedSettlingTransitionFifteenFoldsStressedBeing A MomNormal LifeLaundrySettling DownFifteen YearsTowelsPta Author:Pia Zadora
“Being scared is normal. My technique for erasing it is facing it. Be afraid and brave. Be nervous and courageous.

Know it's there. Know it's temporary. Face it to erase it.” IfsKnowsFirstsFeelingsFacesGoalMinutesSeriousHonorNormalAnxietyTestsBraveScaredTechniqueNervousReachingCourageousTemporaryEraseBeing ScaredReaching Goals Author:Chrisette Michele
