The breezes of the West African night were intimate and shy, licking the hair, sweeping through cotton dresses with unseemly intimacy, then disappearing into the utter blackness.

Live life as if it were created just for you.

You build your 'COURAGE MUSCLE' daily, by being courageous in little things. Just do right.

I don't think there's such a thing as autobiographical fiction. If I say it happened, it happened, even if only in my mind.

In order to be a mentor, and an effective one, one must care. You must care. You don't have to know how many square miles are in Idaho, you don't need to know what is the chemical makeup of chemistry, or of blood or water. Know what you know and care about the person, care about what you know and care about the person you're sharing with.

Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude.
