Modeling Is A Lonely Business.

I Never Let Myself Get Desperate.

I Gave Birth To My First Son In April 1986. I Thought It Would Be A Good Goal To Get Back In Shape After Having A Baby If I Ran The New York City Marathon. I Ran In It November 1986. I Had Just Shot The 'sports Illustrated' Swimsuit Issue, So I Was In Great Shape.

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 Did Not Have A Personal Relationship With Jesus Until I Met My Nanny, Who Helped Me Through A Failing Marriage And Raising My Two Boys In A New York City Apartment. She Showed Me By Example What It Was Like To Be Able To Talk To Jesus And Bring All My Cares And Worries To Him. That Was In 1990.

I'm Happy Going Home Early And Working Out And Just Being A Mother And Being A Wife.
