It seems like yesterday that @barackobama and I were taking our girls to @57thstreetbooks store. Today, I was there with a book of my own. Thanks to everyone who braved the cold and stopped by. #IAmBecoming

Michelle Obama has been married for over 26-years now! Her and Barack of course have 2 kids, they got through a presidency of the United States, so when Michelle says anything, I listen!

She most recently spoke out on the topic of marriage. I think anyone who is currently married or if you're searching for the right partner can benefit from this advice. Michelle said,

"Marriage is a choice you make everyday...it's important to marry somebody that you respect...it's important to marry somebody who is equal, and to marry and be with somebody who want you to win as much as you want them to win."

Her words got me thinking. People have always told me that someone need to dim their sparkle when in a successful marriage. But, that's not true! Look at Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas. Joe put out a documentary, a new album, reunited with his brothers. Sophie promoted the end of Game of Thrones and a new movie she's the star in. They are BOTH thriving and make it work.

So, basically moving forward whenever we receive a press release about a celeb couple being "too busy with their schedules to make it work. Or even us, when we are dating and the guys are "too busy." It's just no longer an excuse. Thanks Michelle Obama for this advice!

Sunday night in Nashville, I walked off stage for the final time on my #IAmBecoming tour. After 34 stops, from Chicago to Copenhagen and Vancouver to Atlanta, I couldn’t be more humbled—or more hopeful. I started this journey knowing that in order for you all to know who I was, you had to know my whole story—the broken parts, the struggles, and the imperfections. It wasn’t always easy to share those moments, but I know that it’s only because of them that I was able to become something more. So thank you all—all the young people I met along the way, all the folks sitting in the balconies, all the book clubs who generated real discussions—for recognizing that truth in your own lives, and for sharing it not just with me but with the world. If each of us can do more of that, if we can be a little more vulnerable, a little more honest with ourselves and with each other, then maybe we can pay that lesson forward to someone else. Maybe we’ll be able to offer each other a little more grace. And maybe then, we can more fully embrace the ways we are the same. To me, that’s how we can all keep becoming, together.
