Our world was created with a sense of order. For every loss, there is a gain. Sometimes we are so blinded by the loss that we don't see the gain, don't recognize the gift.

Sometimes, I think we're afraid to admit we want certain things. Especially things that contradict the image we have of ourselves.

We're each our own person, we live our own lives, make our own mistakes, learn from them and move forward.

While it may not be a simple act, offering forgiveness not only has the power to heal relationships, it strengthens the well-being of those who give this life-changing gift.

My office walls are covered with autographs of famous writers - it's what my children call my 'dead author wall.' I have signatures from Mark Twain, Earnest Hemingway, Jack London, Harriett Beecher Stowe, Pearl Buck, Charles Dickens, Rudyard Kipling, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, to name a few.

People are funny. They want the front of the bus, the middle of the road and the back of the church. —Mrs. Miracle
