Making a decision to write was a lot like deciding to jump into a frozen lake.

Y’all dropped the ball and you should be shamed.

People don't always remember what you say or even what you do, but they always remember how you make them feel.

When we find someone who is brave, fun, intelligent, and loving, we have to thank the universe.

Words are things. You must be careful, careful about calling people out of their names, using racial pejoratives and sexual pejoratives and all that ignorance. Don’t do that. Some day we’ll be able to measure the power of words. I think they are things. They get on the walls. They get in your wallpaper. They get in your rugs, in your upholstery, and your clothes, and finally in to you.

Now, after years of observation and enough courage to admit what I have observed, I try to plant peace if I do not want discord; to plant loyalty and honesty if I want to avoid betrayal and lies.
