You know I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that but it happened.

When I was 5 some financial things happened and I moved seven times in a year. We moved from apartment to apartment sometimes living with friends. My mom would always say 'Don't get comfortable because we may not be here long.'

Men occasionally stumble over the truth but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

I look back to when I got divorced in the late 1970s. When that happened I was so broken up. After that I decided to seek God for my life and my next marriage.

My first marriage was totally unsuitable and shouldn't have happened. It was a whirlwind rebound thing. I was 23 or 24 - a baby.

Provincial governments in Canada have terminated the positions of marriage commissioners who have for personal religious convictions not performed same sex marriages. It has happened in Saskatchewan.

In terms of my marriage you know falling in love with my husband was by far the best thing that's ever happened to me.

I never thought of losing but now that it' s happened the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.

I decided very early on just to accept life unconditionally I never expected it to do anything special for me yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.

Things happened there that I don't think are the finest hours for anybody whether it was a journalist the legal system or in that case of the political system who would say that was an example of when Washington worked best.
