Right now, I am training a service dog for my daughter. He's a four month old puppy. My daughter has a condition called complex regional pain syndrome. I've trained dogs in the past but not as a service dog. There's a lot of learning on my end going into it and he's super smart and bringing a lot of joy to our family.

Take a step back and look at the community that you and Adena created, and now people are coming to your new store. Everybody came and lined up. You're nurturing it and stoking the flame. It's really impressive and amazing.

Years ago, I was signed to a label. It did not work out and usually when that happens to an artist, it breaks your morale, it breaks you down. It took me longer than I thought to get back on my feet. Last year I began working on my new show and getting ready to go back to Ultra. I had played at Ultra from 1999 to 2009. The event has blown up all over the world and I felt it was a great platform to make a comeback. I took the opportunity this year to reinvent myself and I’m not stopping. So far, this year I’ve played Ultra in Miami and Korea. We are in negotiations for more festivals this year.

Basically, anyone who could build a homemade device that could float in the water could escape. My uncles, cousins and other relatives built a raft and 27 of us took the risk. It was 24 hours at the sea and it was nine children, nine women, and nine men. One was a pregnant woman. She was my inspiration because I was so scared. We were rescued by the US Coast Guard and transferred to Guantanamo. I was there for nine months.

My new book is about making food. It’s called The12 Week Diabetes Cookbook and the subtitle is - Your super simple plan for organizing budgeting and cooking amazing dinners. It’s 12 weeks of recipes. My theory is that, if you have the food in the house - you are more likely to cook a heathier meal. At the beginning of each week, I give you a shopping list for the entire week and recipes based on that list. Also, it’s a book for a budget. The average meal is about $5 per person per meal. All of the recipes have been vetted by the American Diabetes Association.

You didn't ask about my life's purpose. I believe my life's purpose is empowering people to be better, by means of taking care of their bodies, mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially, and showing them that there's a better version of themselves out there. They have to go work for it.

We’re really into music. I had a dream when I was a little girl that I’d become an agent to find new and upcoming talent. Jeff plays guitar and I love to sing (not well – I just love it). I was raised on George Benson, Marley and Brubeck. We love going to concerts – we always have music in the house. When someone asks if I want to go to a concert – I always say, ‘I will go to any concert.’

What’s it like being on QVC? It’s my happy place. I go to Philadelphia every two weeks for between two and five days. It’s a group of like minded souls. They are very appreciative and provide endless opportunities. I have two roles there, as a designer and as on-screen talent. When I go as a designer, I get to work with a team of 24 people that are experts and can bring my designs to life. When on screen, I get to emotionally connect with my audience.

So...our engagement ring was designed by Walt (Adena’s husband) - who we met at the Pinecrest Farmer's Market about 4 years ago. We were buying fruit from Adena at the LNB stand and started chatting (like we love to do with vendors at the market). I noticed her wedding band; she mentioned it was designed by her husband and called him over for introductions. He confirmed that he is indeed a jewelry designer and gave us a website to see his work. As we were walking away, I casually mentioned to my then boyfriend of only 1 year, "Hey, maybe we'll get him to design our wedding rings someday". Almost 4 years later, Kēvens proposed with the most stunning, unique, and magical ring...designed by Walt. How's that for a Farmer's Market testimonial?!
