Work travel for me, which is – I hate to say it – more enjoyable now that I have kids.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceMy kids that’s their backyard. I think when they’re adults, their memories will be mostly of spending time at beach, the exploration, the freedom that you have. You take care of your house that you live in and we make our bed and we clean our cars and we do all that stuff, but yet we neglect sort of the place that really provides us with the greatest form of sustainability, which is the ocean.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceThe best thing about golf is ultimately what it teaches you about yourself. And the worst thing is how freakin’ nervous it can make you feel.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI’d like to go to Africa, away from water, away from what’s normal for us. When you put yourself in those places your life looks so far away. It makes a big impact.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceThat isn’t to say that Hawaii’s better. On the mainland, everyone seems to be trying to get somewhere. Kids are taught to shoot for the moon, to believe in their ability to do anything, to follow their passions. In Hawaii, you’re stuck in the middle of the Pacific, and it can be difficult to see how you’re going to follow your passion from there.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceIn Hawaii, if you’re invited to dinner, it’s assumed that the children are invited as well. On the islands, no one treats children like they’re not part of the conversation. People talk to children as people and include them in adventures and conversations.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI won’t say my nutrition is perfect. If I’m at a restaurant and there’s fresh pasta on the menu, I’m going to order it. At home, though, I avoid grains and do a lot of the cooking to control what our family eats.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceTo truly be feminine means being soft, receptive, and – look out, here it comes – submissive.
Author: Gabrielle ReecePeople are already p*ssed off at me because I’m athletic and beautiful; to be smart in addition to that… it’s like, too much.

Author: Gabrielle ReeceI think sometimes when I go to make a move on something, people try to disqualify any talent that I have or any hard work that I’ve done.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI think if I was 5-foot-3, I would have been really popular and dated a lot more in high school. I didn’t develop like the pretty girl.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceNo one single person is going to make each other happy, and it’s foolish to expect the other person to do that.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI can’t sing but I can understand wanting to keep a balance, trying to pursue dreams, while creating a stable environment for my children.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceOnce I got past my anger toward my mother, I began to excel in volleyball and modeling.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceIf you don’t know one thing about Kid Rock it’s that he’s loyal. His band has been together for a long time, he stands by his friends, and the guy still lives in his home state of Michigan.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI always have a million things going on at once, but I try to put my energy into the most immediate need.

Author: Gabrielle ReeceWith both kids, I started working out again at 16 days postpartum, but I treated myself with kindness, doing mild workouts, because my fitness level was lower.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI don’t want to be famous famous. I’m happy on the second tier, where I have autonomy on a professional level but I can still go out to the movies without being recognized.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI live a very normal regimented life that focuses on my training and my private life so I squeeze the insane stuff in around that.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceOn a regular basis I go over in my mind some of the most troublesome things I see about how people approach eating, and the wonder mess we have made out of a very simple thing.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI never had only one job. I was either playing ball or writing or doing TV or modeling.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceWe hear all around us to love ourselves, and one of the ways we can do that is to eat food that serves our body, but also for us to love the food we’re eating.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI don’t have a life, I really don’t. I’m as close to a nun as you can be without the little hat. I’m a golf nun.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceEating and food are a wonderful part of our life’s experience, and half of us are walking around dreading having to figure out what to put in our mouths.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI didn’t get into this to pick up a new hobby. I don’t want to just be a golfer. I want to be the best.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI really don’t have the time to spend much time online, I do have web tv, which I use when I need information.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceFood is fuel and not a solution to anything other than giving your body nutrients. I love chocolate like the next girl, but it’s not going to change my situation.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI’m not just a model who plays volleyball, or a volleyball player who supports herself modeling. I’m a female athlete personality.
Author: Gabrielle Reece‘The HoneyLine’ is my web site and TV segments that were birthed out of the stark reality that we all need a few people to help navigate this life.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceMy three best friends get me through everything: I need cute jeans, my kids are driving me crazy, I’m throwing a party, whatever. They keep me dialed in.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceEven if I’m gone all day, breakfast is the one meal I always cook for my kids. I make French toast, oatmeal, or an egg burrito.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceHave a short memory and a lot of forgiveness. Especially us girls who don’t forget a thing. Move on.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceVolleyball anchored me at a time in my life when I needed it. It gave me a reason for being this big, big girl.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceMy motivation has always been health – eating healthy and taking care of myself.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceSports provide girls with the opportunity to develop a better relationship with their bodies. They can be aggressive on the court, be strong and still be feminine.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceIf you want to stay fit, surround yourself with a couple of chicks who are fired up, so that the one day you’re not, you can feed off their energy.
Author: Gabrielle ReeceI think any time people behave in a way that’s truly them, then they’ll never fail. You get in trouble when you try to copy others.
