I do get scared, but I think - like it says in another book I've read - feel the fear and do it anyway. I try to have courage, pray a little bit and work through it. I'd rather try, even if I fail.

I was a late starter on the romantic front. I didn't start dating until I was in my 30s.

I love being on the beach - it's my favourite place. I can chill out, read, listen to music, play with my daughter.
