Often I feel that projects overwhelm us when we look at how many hours are involved until completion. But just getting started is usually not that difficult.

But I have learned that you can't just create your own timetable and will it to come true.

You can only control your own actions. Not other people’s reactions.

I don't break up, I trade up

A son is a son 'til he gets a wife, but a daughter is a daughter all her life.

It was the same night I gave myself to him completely, knowing that I would belong to him for as long as he wanted to keep me. And, as it turned out, even longer than that.

I try to recognize that there is no such thing as having it all - and it's impossible to be perfect. You just have to let certain things go.
