I always hated my mole growing up. I even thought about having it removed. At the time I didn't do it because I thought it would hurt, and now I'm glad I didn't.

My goal is to spread the word about the need for more blood donors.

I think I have enough tattoos for now. If I get any others, I'll probably do my kids initials.

My greatest life lesson has been that life can change in a second. This is why it's important to always live your best possible life and to do what you can for others.

I always think about which blood drive was going on in Georgia that day when that husband or mom or school teacher rolled up their sleeve and actually gave me a second chance at life. It's the ultimate gift of life, and I'm the one who was on the other end.

I owe my life to blood donors. I'm forever grateful to people who donate.

With Ciel and with Rex, I said 'no epidural.' I recovered, I was walking right after I had them, just did a lot of praying all through my pregnancy that they would be healthy and my deliveries would go without a problem. I was really blessed.

Stick to the basics, hold on to your family and friends - they will never go out of fashion.
