If You Stop For One Second And

I'm An L.a. Girl Who Became A Tough New York Cop.

When My Body Is Strong, I Feel Stronger Inside. I Feel More Capable Of Handling Emotional Situations. Usually I'm More Of A Inside-out Person, But This Was A Great Case Of Me From The Outside In.

When I Was Pregnant, I Was So Huge And People On The Bus Would Get Up For Me. That Made Me Feel So Precious And Valued And Valuable. I Try To Treat Everyone Like They're Pregnant.

I Have A More Developed Sense Of My Priorities. Life Has So Much More Meaning Now.

Becoming A Parent Erased Many Of My Negative Childhood Feelings And Filled Them In With Something New.
