When I was growing up, I remember my uncle Bret 'Hitman' Hart having his own column in the Calgary Sun. To me, this was beyond cool.

Something that helps me build more optimism in the dead of winter is not staying up too late and waking up early.
Writing is very liberating and therapeutic.
Relationships are so important to me. Talking to someone, listening to them, and even writing a handwritten note or giving someone a picture in a frame has become a lost art because we are inclined to just do it all through technology.
I am big on writing to-do lists and having new goals to reach all the time, as it keeps me motivated and inspired.
As awkward as it is to manoeuvre a ladder around the squared circle, there is an incredible art to 'excellently executing' a ladder match.
Sometimes showing off produces results.
As for my own fitness, with my packed schedule, I try to mix it up with different things every day. That includes powerlifting, isometrics, yoga, sprints, jogging, and, of course, wrestling. I've learned that all you need to do is move and do different things to challenge yourself.
I debuted in WWE right around the time when the 'Attitude Era' ended and WWE programming switched to Parental Guidance. Back then, we had one champion, and if you weren't the champion or the challenger, securing television time was often challenging.
Daddy - as I affectionately called him - and I were so similar in a lot of ways, and we shared that extra-special bond of professional wrestling and our careers.
Some of the most well-known women in the history of WWE have learned to shine on the brightest stage of them all because of Fit Finlay.
My dad loved being a part of 'Total Divas' and sharing that special connection that we shared in having the same careers in WWE.
Lita was, quite frankly, a trailblazer. She was the first woman to break down barriers by being different from other women in WWE. She didn't just break them down: she flew over them, put them through tables, and downright destroyed them.
Germany has a deep respect for the Hart family, especially Bret 'The Hitman' Hart.
To me, Roman Reigns was WWE's version of Superman, and he was our locker room leader on 'Raw.'
My life has been filled with beautiful memories of my father. You often hear people talk about 'daddy's girl.' Well, that was me.
There's been so much that I've shared with the world, and by doing so, it's helped me connect with others on a whole new level. I love that, as I want people to watch 'Total Divas' and be able to relate themselves to what we go through. My hopes are that they realize we are all in this 'thing called life' together.
Writing has always been an incredible outlet for me to feel like I have a voice, even when sometimes I was the only one reading my work. It has been a way for me to unlock my imagination. That's when the world becomes yours, after all.
Going to work out with a friend also forces me to 'keep the date' because it's more difficult to bail on them. A good friend at the gym can go a long way.
Ever since I was a kid, I have loved writing. It has always been one of my passions.
I often feel like everything is moving so fast that I can barely recount where I was the day before, what I had for breakfast, or how great my workout was.
Thanks to all members of the military around the world for giving me the ultimate motivation.
It's empowering and uplifting to hear the Special Olympics athletes share their journey and what's helped them to get to where they are today. I had no idea how much I'd learn and grow by taking part in Special Olympics. It's made me think about my own journey and what's important in life.
I have a small circle of great friends who push me when I need it, tell me when I need to pick up my pace, and who make me want to be better. Sometimes, when I start procrastinating and just need to find that pep in my step, I think of how far I've come and how we can all be role models in our every day lives.
Our WWE Universe is such a huge part of all the positive changes happening for the Women's Evolution because they spoke up, and WWE heard their voices.
Growing up, I had no idea just how hard my dad worked to make it all work.
My dad meant so much to myself and the entire family.
It's true: teamwork makes the dream work.
It's hard to know what's going to happen when you're filming a reality show, but if you just let life unfold, that's when the best stories evolve.
Often the most unexpected, unpredictable moments in life are the ones that leave the biggest impression and that teach us to roll with the punches.
The fans are different in every country, but I've yet to perform in a place where they're not passionate for us.
Cancer doesn't discriminate, and in WWE, we have made it our mantra that cancer is 'unacceptable.'
Our memories are the keys to our past and everything we've ever worked for, fought for, and dreamed of.
I was lucky to be my dad's daughter, and I'm forever grateful to have Jann Arden as a strong role model in my life.
Fueling our bodies properly can lift our moods immensely on any winter day!
Something that can instantly lift my mood is hitting the gym with a friend.
The Royal Rumble is rich with history and one of the most popular events in WWE history.
Like anyone, I like having goals to work towards. That said, I've also learned that you have to start with baby steps to reach your dreams, whether big or small.
If we can lift others up, then what we do is all worthwhile.
Special Olympics is such an empowering organization for the thousands of athletes involved and those of us like myself who lend support to them.
It's motivating to think that you, as one person, can make a world of difference in someone else's life.
If you're really good in the ring, there's no limits to what you can do in the WWE as a woman!
I loved reminiscing with my dad about his matches with the Bulldogs and his partnership with my uncle Bret Hart as the Hart Foundation.
If I were to pick a favorite SummerSlam match of all time, there's one iconic match that comes to mind: SummerSlam 1992, Bret Hart vs. The British Bulldog at Wembley Stadium in front of more than 80,000 people.
Teamwork can build friendships that last a lifetime.
Lita was the perfect blend of pretty and punk, Lucha with a gothic edge and a high-flyer who could take on anyone, anytime, anyplace. She truly was ahead of her time.
In 2010, I defeated Michelle McCool and Layla to win my first championship in WWE. It was a surreal feeling that all of my hard work had paid off that night in Miami.
Every single one of us needs hope.
I am so very proud to do whatever I can do in the fight against cancer with WWE.
My dad and I had such a special connection being WWE Superstars. More than that, we always had each other's backs.
