00:00:00.784 --> 00:00:02.777
<v ->If you're newly diagnosed and you think</v>

2
00:00:02.777 --> 00:00:04.687
that the world has come to an end,

3
00:00:04.687 --> 00:00:06.365
the first think I'll ask you to do,

4
00:00:06.365 --> 00:00:08.864
is look in the mirror that I have in my office

5
00:00:08.864 --> 00:00:11.330
or look in the mirror that I carry in my purse

6
00:00:11.330 --> 00:00:15.321
and tell you to fall in love with you.

7
00:00:15.321 --> 00:00:18.928
And if you fall in love with you and really value yourself,

8
00:00:18.928 --> 00:00:21.194
you know that romance is not over

9
00:00:21.194 --> 00:00:25.633
because you love you so much that you have the opportunity

10
00:00:25.633 --> 00:00:30.441
now to allow the world to come in and can share that love.

11
00:00:30.441 --> 00:00:33.368
I will say to you, that if you show the real you

12
00:00:33.368 --> 00:00:37.771
to ever who he or she is that you're involved with

13
00:00:37.771 --> 00:00:41.662
and if you able to disclose, you'd be surprised

14
00:00:41.662 --> 00:00:44.768
at the how the truth will definitely make you free.

15
00:00:44.768 --> 00:00:46.960
That people appreciated openness

16
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.672
because if you're honest about your status,

17
00:00:49.672 --> 00:00:52.302
that person that you're with, that you think

18
00:00:52.302 --> 00:00:56.076
that won't love you anymore, he will love you

19
00:00:56.076 --> 00:00:57.898
or she will love you even more

20
00:00:57.898 --> 00:01:00.155
because you shared something with them

21
00:01:00.155 --> 00:01:02.713
that's so personal and you'd be surprised.

22
00:01:02.713 --> 00:01:05.208
My life is full of romance.

23
00:01:05.208 --> 00:01:10.208
First of all, I love me and I will say to that person,

24
00:01:10.513 --> 00:01:15.096
it's okay, it's okay, you'll get past wherever you are.

25
00:01:16.230 --> 00:01:20.246
Just take time and know that Rome was not built in a day

26
00:01:20.246 --> 00:01:22.944
and this is just like coming outta recovery.

27
00:01:22.944 --> 00:01:26.032
It's one day at a time, one minute at a time,

28
00:01:26.032 --> 00:01:29.449
one second at a time and you'll be okay.
