"I could get away with not taking care of myself as a bachelorette but as a mom I can’t." ― Alanis Morissette Topic(s): Mom Tags: could More From Alanis Morissette "Trauma happens in relationships, so it can only be healed in relationships. Art can’t provide healing. It can be cathartic and therapeutic but a relationship is a three-part journey." "Getting married and starting a family has been a lifelong goal and one that I have persevered through different paths up to it!" "I did commit to myself that I would not jump back into being the workaholic that I can be before I gave myself an honest opportunity to create the marriage of my dreams and to create the beginning of the family of my dreams, and that took a hot second."

Being without a husband, it was hard for her to find any place at all for us to live."― Ethel Waters "I had been inspired by an organ player named Earl Grant, who played organ and piano together. My mom took me to see him. So I went home, put my piano and organ together, too."― Billy Preston
