I grew up in Scotland and was always taught to be strong. I think we are only given one life and we should try our very best to find the things that make us happy and do them any time we can. I love to dance and if there is music playing then I\u2019m going to be on the floor dancing along to it.

I think when you\u2019re a woman you work really hard to make people happy and never take the time to do things for yourself. It isn\u2019t until you\u2019re older that you realize you don\u2019t have to be that way. I think that it is important to slow down sometimes and to never be afraid to take risks. To be honest, I think I was pretty good when I was younger. Maybe if I could go back and tell my younger self something it would be to just have more fun.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: What is the best piece of advice you ever received?
