Chemo is awful!

I feel so blessed. I have two wonderful children, and I'm channeling my energy and my experience to help others.

I'm going to try to not eat any more dark chocolate, and that's going to be very, very hard for me because I'm completely addicted to dark chocolate.

If you come into my house, it looks like I went to Costco and Dylan's Candy and every candy store and I just have glass jars filled with chocolate. I just love chocolate.

I would encourage all women to get mammograms when their doctors tell them to.

In Sept of 2013 I was diagnosed as having an aggressive form of stage 2 endometrial cancer. I underwent a rigorous treatment program that included a radical hysterectomy followed with chemo and radiation therapy.

I am very grateful to have beaten my cancer, but it has been tough adjusting to my new normal.

Due to my genetic predisposition to certain cancers and having experienced the travails of my mom and grandmother in their battles against this awful disease, I wanted to use my platform to raise awareness and funds for crucial research for these below-the-belt cancers.

At the end of the day what matters most is that we can cut through the pettiness and drama when it really counts and support each other.

I am the third generation of women in my family to be struck with a gynecologic cancer. Because of this legacy, we have been genetically tested.

I unfortunately tested positive for Lynch Syndrome, so I have been checked at least annually and sometimes twice a year.

Lyme disease is very debilitating. Being from the East Coast I know Lyme disease is quite common and may lay dormant and may produce flu-like symptoms, as well as neurological issues.

It's in poor taste to question anyone's illness diagnosed through specific testing by their doctor.

Certain family matters should always remain private within the family.

Sometimes I've said things that I shouldn't have.

I've learned It 's better to address conflicts head on and then move on.

Listen, not all of us are proud of what we say or do at times.

I don't need to drink to have a good time with the ladies.

I love when we just let our hair down, get a little goofy and just be girls.

I'm just so grateful I had a wonderful surrogate who carried our two children. I have two amazing angels in my life that I love so much. They are such a gift and a blessing from God.

If you can't get pregnant for whatever reason, it's great to know that there are options available for people that want to have a family.

If we can forgive, it will help us to grow and not remain stagnant in the same place. Then we can move on without animosity and hurt feelings.

Having a mother with an illness and being there for her, and being there for my children I just realize how precious life is.

You never know what's going to happen so just enjoy the moments that you have with the people you love and cherish them. Let them know that you love them and how much you appreciate them being in your life.

Visiting anyone post-surgery for the first time can be traumatic.

I love animals. I'm a big animal lover.

My life and focus are my children, and caring for my mother with her health issues. So when I'm with my friends I want to enjoy their company and not get wrapped up in the distractions.

I want all of my girlfriends to enjoy each other because life is too short.

I want peace in my life.

We should take every moment we have and enjoy it now. Put all this cattiness aside and have fun.

My mom was diagnosed at the age of 46 with ovarian cancer.

When cancer affects somebody in the family, the whole family is affected.

It's so very important for me to be involved in raising awareness and funds for cancer research.

I'm so proud of my mom and I admire her faith and especially strength. In everything that she's gone through she's really been there for me, and that's incredible.

I wish and pray my babies will grow up and find someone wonderful to love.

Thank you to all the fans of 'RHOBH' for your continued love and support. It means so much to me.

Sometimes the wrong thing is said or things don't come out the way they were intended.

It is difficult to not let the circumstances define you when everyone feels they know your personal struggles and agony.

It is one thing to go through a divorce, and quite another to have the rug ripped out from under you in a very publicly humiliating way.

I think having a sense of humor is just as important a coping mechanism as it is a gift for everyday life.

Award season is such an exciting time of the year and I enjoy seeing who is nominated, who wins and - like most women - the fashions.

Nobody likes to feel like they are being torn apart behind their back.

I am the type of person who believes an apology should be sincere and from the heart.

I am not saying that I have never had an insecure moment in my life, I, like most people, have had many.

Hawaii is such a wonderful, healing place for me. I feel so at ease with the natives and love the tranquility of the islands. It is a place to find inner peace and be one with nature.

I love paddle boarding. It gives me that feeling of peace as well as an opportunity to enjoy nature's true beauty.

I do have many close girlfriends; these relationships are paramount in my life.

Men are much more up-front with their friends. There isn't as much maneuvering, back-stabbing and covert campaigning. It is what it is at face value.

It is interesting to watch yourself on a reality show. It makes you think about the things that you say and how what you meant to convey can be so easily miscommunicated and misunderstood.

My self-deprecating humor may not be as funny as I thought.
