Be crazy. Be stupid. Be silly. Be weird. Be whatever. Because life is too short to be anything but happy

Tone is often the most important part of a conversation - and listening is so much more important than what you say.

There are times when you just have to show people that you're all in.

I try to live in a little bit of my own joy and not let people steal it or take it.

From time to time, I'll look back through the personal journals I've scribbled in throughout my life, the keepers of my raw thoughts and emotions. The words poured forth after my dad died, when I went through a divorce, and after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. There are so many what-ifs scribbled on those pages.

I'm a disorganized mess. My purse is gross: I once found a shoulder pad, string cheese, and a Christmas ornament in it!
