It's the song in your heart that wants you to help make yourself a better person, and to help other people do the same. Everybody has one.

Expressing my feelings and then the opportunity to share it with others is just such a gift.

Sometimes my body wakes me up and says 'Hey, you haven't had pain in a while. How about pain?' And sometimes I can't breathe, and that's hard to live with. But I still celebrate life and don't give up.

I've gotten books published. I've met famous people that are very nice. I look back and I say, 'Wow. Thank you, God, for giving me this gift. And thank you for helping me to keep going.'

If you have enough breath to complain about anything, you have more than enough reason to give thanks about something.

We all have life storms, and when we get the rough times and we recover from them, we should celebrate that we got through it. No matter how bad it may seem, there's always something beautiful that you can find.

Do not breathe simply to exist.
