Christmas is a time for families.

Far too many people opened their hearts and lives at the drop of a hat. Why give someone that power over you? Why endow them with the ability to hurt you that much? Let someone in and you were asking for an emotional kicking some day.

She believed that owning a lots of things made you a better person. She didn't know - possibly didn't want to know - that happiness comes from the inside.

If we're going to change the world for the better, kids need to know that they can by feeling good about who they are and helping others.

Always regret the things you did do, never the things you didn't.

I don't want to rely on something that could be taken away at some point.

Love is a two-way street.
