I always encourage authors (especially new authors) to be as generous as we are blessed. For one thing, it is a way to help people. For another, it is a seed one is planting for the life of the book. Someone gave it to someone who gave it to someone else.

I tell people that I'm not necessarily any good, it's just that there is nobody like me. I just promise you will not be bored.

Keep your head and heart clear. Perspective can just as easily be lost as it can be found.

You have chosen the pathway to your present destination. The responsibility for your situation is yours.

We begin to forgive by choosing to forgive . . . by deciding, not by feeling. Our feelings don't lead us to forgive. Most times, our feelings lead us the other way. That's why a person has to decide to forgive first. Our feelings always follow along behind our decisions.

Are you smiling when you talk? Try it today, and I guarantee you will notice a difference in your life.

By your hand, millions - billions - of lives will be altered, caught up in a chain of events begun by you this day.
