Create the world you want to see.

Love is real. In every single moment, there are only two choices: love or fear. I can tell you from experience that love is exponentially more powerful. And a hell of a lot more fun.

That same intense, overpowering, and all-encompassing love that you feel for your family can also be utterly terrifying.

The one thing I would tell everyone - myself included - would be to just chill out. Life, by design, provides us with plenty of drama without us having to augment it and invent more. Just chill.

Reading and gardening are really big for me, along with music and exercise. If I go more than a day or two without a run or a bike ride or something, I start to get kind of itchy and antsy.

Always look for common ground, but don't ever be afraid to choose sides.

Be bold. Be kind. Be brave.
