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

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.

Life gets so ridiculous, you just have to brush it off like sand and laugh. I think the laughter is good medicine for crap-itis.

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!

No matter what happens, you can get through this day. Inhale. Focus on the word, 'relax. Exhale. Say, 'I can do this!' And then do it.

We can not escape tragic roads. It is like grasping at the sun & trying to catch air. We must take one step at-a-time. Keep going.
