After reading her book, she easily made her way up to my top 10 list of females I admire (a list which includes extraordinary people such as my sisters, Dr. Kim, Jennifer Terry, Hilary Clinton, Angelina Jolie...all for separate and specific reasons. Maybe I'll elaborate later.)
I see so much of myself in her - minus the meth addiction and infamous PR agency. She made me laugh and cry all in one sitting. I love her.
"Many people are surprised to discover that I'm a very spiritual person. After all, I run a business, I say what I think, and I wear all black; we have words for these things in this country: witch, bitch, and cunt. But the truth is that it's faith that gives me the power to speak my truth...Ultimately, we need to be able to battle our demons within and without to get where we want to go. Jesus turned over tables and defended hookers, and the Hindu goddesses were not messing around. Hanging in my office is a large image of the Hindu goddess Durga, who taught me a lot about spirituality. In her eight arms she bears swords, conch shells, tridents, thunderbolts, bows, and discuses: a weapon for every possible occasion. In the Gita, an Indian sacred text, she annihilates demons, rides lions, and makes divine love to her husband. (This sounds to me like the perfect day.)"
