In my late teenage years, I developed a real passion for it, and wrote a lot of poetry.

Motherhood is not for the faint-hearted. Frogs, skinned knees, and the insults of teenage girls are not meant for the wimpy.

I grew up with my father, so I know more about cars than most women.

I don't need a man to be happy. I had a great one , that was good enough. I don't expect to find another one like him, and why settle for anything less? I'm going ot be perfectly content alone.--Marya

By sharing an experience, or creating an experience that we all go through where the character survives - though not easily, I always say that it's victory at a price - does give people hope.

People do strange things sometimes, when they feel hopeless.

Not all forms of abuse leave bruises.
