Remember to look at your glass half full and not half empty. A lot of my strength comes from God. God has given me a gift - the gift of life - and it's amazing that I live each day.

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

Sad things happen. They do. But we don't need to live sad forever.

A heartsong doesn't have to be a song in your heart. It doesn't have to be talking about love and peace. It can just be your message. It can be your feeling. Some people might even call it a conscience, even though that's not really what it is. It's your message, what you feel like you need to do.

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.'

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.

God gives me hope that there is something greater than us, something better and bigger than the here and now, that can help us live.
