Modeling Is A Lonely Business.

I Really Discovered I Had Thyroid Disease By Accident. My Son Was Having Some Health Concerns, And As I Filled Out His Patient History I Noticed I Had A Lot Of Similar Symptoms. I Mentioned It To The Doctor, And He Ran Blood Work And Finally An Ultrasound Of My Thyroid.

The Biggest Change For Me As A Mom Was Realizing I Needed To Put Someone Else Before Me. Now The Hardest Part About The Empty Nest Is Learning To Put Myself First. I Know That I Have Raised My Sons To Be Big, Strong, Independent Men Who Love God, Themselves And Care For Others. I Have To Learn To Let Them Have Space And Learn Without Me.

I Had To Learn What Made Kim Happy. I Learned You Have To Take Care Of The Spark In Your Eyes.

I Think That Our Whole Country Needs To Have More Love And Compassion For All Children. All Life Is Valuable And A Gift From God. Pregnancy Is Not Something That "just Happens." Pregnancy Is A Gift From God. I Think It Is God Telling Us "ok, You Are Responsible Enough To Raise This New Young Life That I, God, Am Going To Give You." And For People Who Can't Conceive Children, God May Be Asking You For An Even More Generous Response - To Adopt And Raise A Child.
