They say that not matter how old you become, when you are with your siblings, you revert back to childhood.

Sometimes I guess you need to lose everything before you realize what's really important.

Every woman should have a daughter to tell her stories to. Otherwise, the lessons learned are as useless as spare buttons from a discarded shirt. And all that is left is a fading name and the shape of a nose or the color of hair. The men who write the history books will tell you the stories of battles and conquests. But the women will tell you the stories of people's hearts.

There are no completely good or bad people. Everybody makes mistakes, or bad choices. It's how we live with them that make us the people we are.

There is how we were before, and how we are now, and the time between is spent choosing which doors to open, and which to close.

You ain’t dead yet, so you ain’t done.

A life without rain is like the sun without shade.
