“My moment of peak success was also my darkest hour,” she revealed. “I was the most diligent model, but I paid a high price. I was diagnosed with one of the most incurable blood cancers at age 37. The doctor believed I wouldn’t survive beyond five years — but I didn’t collapse. Something inside me knew I’d be alright. Today, at 53, I am the most content woman now.”

On her inner strength, she said: “Meditation gave me resilience. We clean our cars, service our vehicles and clean the environment — but what about the toxic thoughts in our minds? We must cleanse them too.”
