stupid parent dyslexia
Though my parents assured me over and over again that I wasn't stupid or slow, I sensed that my dyslexia was now a stigma on all of us.
one-direction keys balance
I've found that balance is key. I'm no longer an extremist in any one direction.
dad years bars
I was born in 1968, just eighteen months after my sister Chrisse and just one year after Dad passed the bar exam.
girl growing-up responsibility
I feel like it's my responsibility to honestly cover a lot of subjects in part because I have two little girls and I really want them when they grow up to have a voice.
yoga elements movement
But I would assert that despite the wide variety of yoga options and individual preferences, there is one universal element: the union of consciousness and movement, breath and awareness.
school kids pace
From the time I started school, it was clear to everyone that I wasn't learning at the same pace as other kids.
anorexia demand disease
Anorexia was there for me before I got into modeling, but because of the arena and the demands, the disease really got out of control for me. It's like being an alcoholic and going and being a bartender.
life-is bases knows
Life is full of change and uncertainty. We know this. We experience it on a daily basis.
mean long different
Just because you're a different size doesn't mean you're sitting on the couch eating bonbons all day long watching TV.
healing long path
My own path towards wellness has been a long and dynamic one. It's taught me that healing from the inside out takes time and there can be great value in various sources of guidance.
beautiful karma curves
But life inevitably throws us curve balls, unexpected circumstances that remind us to expect the unexpected. I've come to understand these curve balls are the beautiful unfolding of both karma and current.
fall school making-money
I had dropped out of school and was a runaway, so I didn't have family to fall back on if I didn't work. I didn't have a lot of other options of making money other than modeling.
alcohol drug eating-disorder
Part of treatment for drugs and alcohol is you abstain from these, but with eating disorders you can't abstain from food so the treatment is longer than drugs and alcohol.
taken diversity childhood
Being born and raised as a Californian, I somewhat ignorantly had taken for granted the diversity and liberal mindset that shaped my childhood and adult life.
