About the Authors
One thing I’ve learned is that no matter how perfect someone’s life may appear from the outside, everyone faces challenges and has their ups and downs. The grass may look greener in your neighbor’s yard, but start rolling around in it and you’ll surely find some hidden rocks and weeds. No matter who we are, there is always at least one area in our lives where we’re struggling, whether it’s our finances, our health, our relationships, our spirituality, our home, our time management, or our work.
For those of you who have followed me through my journey as one of the original cast members of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, you are familiar with some of my own struggles. Over the show’s six seasons, I’ve shared with millions of viewers my miscarriages, relationship struggles, and family issues; my body insecurities and my fears of driving on highways and public speaking; the devastating news of my youngest son’s autism diagnosis; and the financial struggles our family has faced. Life has not always been a bed of roses for me, but one thing is certain: I will always pick myself up, and I will always rebuild. I will never give up.
For me, the key to surviving whatever life throws your way is in how you choose to perceive situations and react to them. It’s keeping a sense of humor. It’s finding balance and purpose. It’s realizing your strengths and exploring and focusing on what you’re passionate about. It’s sharing your knowledge with others in hopes of making someone else’s life a little easier, more enjoyable, and more fulfilling. It’s allowing yourself quality time to create your own beauty from the inside out. When you take care of your own needs and desires, you will be in a much better position to care for and serve others.
