My mother always read to me as a child. I really believe that bonding time between a parent and child is so important and precious. I have lasting memories of those stories because the experience was special.

I like to draw late at night when the house is quiet.

My best ideas come to me at unexpected moments, like when I'm reading children's books to my kids (the pictures inspire me), shopping, driving somewhere, seeing different things.

I wish I would have kept the big picture in my mind at all times - what it most important? That my kids seek to please God and learn about their Creator.

Life is too short to leave your walls bare or colorless. Unless you like bare and colorless then it is fine.

We should see dreaming as one of our responsibilitie s, rather than an alternative to one.

Life is too short to sleep it all away!
