Sometimes, all it takes is your smile (even if forced) & a domino effect of smiles happen ... infectious.

When you get some free time, write. When you get some lazy time, plan. When you get down time, world build. When your time comes, shine!

When teachers doubt your potential, show them how wrong they truly are.

Writing fulfils an insatiable drive. Finishing the story satisfies my thirst. But I must keep drinking until the story quenches a buyer.

If you understand 'it' will come, then you'll understand 'it' will pass. No matter what happens, you can make it. Trust me, you can.

If you work around at-risk teen students, actually tell them you love them and have faith in their success. No one tells them that. No one.

If you get to a point where something happens today to stress you out, take a breath & center your thoughts on peace. Ignored thoughts die.
