Zitat des Tages von Yolanda Hadid:
I believe the only thing constant in life is change. That's just the way it is, no?
I took the same pride in my dishwashing job as a child as I take in running my company today.
We are all blessed to be on the Bravo train because it's a fantastic platform for meeting new people, getting our messages out there, and connecting with fans around the world.
The only reason I ever shared my health journey with the world was because I felt it to be my duty to sufferers that are bed-ridden and dying because there has yet to be found a proper diagnostic test for Lyme Disease in this country.
I have worked since I was 12 years old and started providing for my family in Holland by the age of 17 - and I still do today.
It took me a while to learn the true meaning of patience and surrender, but I have finally accepted that healing doesn't happen on our schedule. It doesn't have a clock or a calendar.
I will continue to pave the way and share my health journey with the world until I find a cure and proper diagnostic testing for this silent killer called Lyme disease.
I have tried the fancy, superficial life in my past, but I quickly learned that diamonds are not my best friend.
When the chips are down, life forces you to take inventory and reevaluate the people in your life.
I am extremely proud of my heritage, and I would never use being Dutch as an excuse but rather an explanation of our cultural differences.
I will not allow anyone to shut me up or shame me into silence, and I'm not going to rot away behind closed doors.
I am so grateful for my children who remind me every day what matters in life, and I feel fortunate to be their mommy and share their special love.
My life is raw, authentic, and focused on giving back to the journey God has given me; I want to leave this earth a better place with answers and education on Lyme and invisible chronic disease.
I believe forgiveness is the best form of love in any relationship. It takes a strong person to say they're sorry and an even stronger person to forgive.
I'm convinced that probably everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. It's just one more reason to always try to be kind.
There is nothing harder for me than to sit at the sideline, not being able to be productive.
I have always been fascinated with romance and the fact that it is so effortless when we first fall in love but how it then becomes a conscious effort to stay creative and connected. Thats why I always say, 'Get wise: keep your romance alive.'
There are many different shapes of friendships to be had.
I never had the college experience, so I have raised my girls to be more work-oriented and motivated to be financially independent.
I wasn't born with a silver spoon in Beverly Hills, but I was born with a great deal of self-worth.
I believe the core of most of us women is very simple. We want to feel appreciated, acknowledged, and something as simple as flowers with a little note or some love letters goes a long way.
When struggling to get out of bed in the morning due to pain and exhaustion, the last thing on the priority list is going to get a blow dry.
The core of people don't change... what you see is what you get.
Every essential oil has a healing purpose, so I think it's a great gift because it's something that elevates your mood and your health.
Fake friends believe in rumors. Real friends believe in you.
A lot of great medicines and ancient therapies are blocked by the FDA, so that's why I choose to travel and recognize the value of diverse points of view in medicine.
Nothing better than a good laugh and giggling over a whole bunch of nothing.
Having lost my own father at such a young age, I have a soft spot for dads in general, but especially for Guy Glanville. He is a really good man inside who loves his family but may not always be capable of showing that.
In 2013, after a challenging two years of long-term IV antibiotics and six weeks at a clinic in florida, I received the 'Star Light' award from the Lyme Research Alliance for my advocacy and strength to light the way of Lyme disease awareness.
I'm not very diplomatic and wear my heart on my sleeve.
I have never in my life let a man disrespect me, verbally or physically, and that will never change. I feel very strongly about this because it's something my mother instilled in me and that I have instilled in my daughters.
I choose to live in the present because when you suffer from chronic illness, you don't have a choice. It's day by day, one foot in front of the other. When there is a good day, you soak up that moment. Those 'good selfie' moments are captured because they're a gift.
I think I'm a disciplined mom versus a strict mom. But also, that job - the disciplining was from birth until about 12, and at 12, I set my kids free, and they learned to become independent human beings.
I was raised in Holland, where race and homosexuality are not a subject matter but rather a part of life.
There is very little magic in the world of the chronically ill.
Being raised by a Catholic father, a Protestant mother, and marrying the Muslim father of my three children, I encourage people to respect and at least try to understand different religions.
