Sticking up for ourselves in the same way we would one of our friends is a hard but satisfying thing to do. Sometimes it works.

Always remember your kid's name.

Rooting for other people's failure does get in the way of your success...when you can wish good things for people and rejoice when they get it, so many gifts and blessings come to you that you can't even imagine.

The minute anyone makes you feel weird and non-included or not supported, you know, either beat it or tell them to beat it.

You become more attractive when you love yourself. You ATTRACT the right things when you have a sense of who you are.

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

You aren't allowed to feel special, but no one knows the specific ways you are in pain.
