Always remember your kid's name.

Change is the only constant. Learn to surf your life instead of planting your feet.

Continue to share your heart with people even if it's been broken.

I have realized that mystery is what keeps people away, and I've grown tired of smoke and mirrors. I yearn for the clean, well-lighted place. So let's peek behind the curtain and hail the others like us. The open-faced sandwiches who take risks and live big and smile with all of their teeth. These are the people I want to be around. This is the honest way I want to live and love and write.

Shame makes people abandon their children and drink themselves to death. It also keeps us from true happiness. An apology is a glorious release.

Great people do things before they’re ready. They do things before they know they can do it.

It's easier to be brave when you're not alone.
