Each of us has the right and the responsibility to assess the roads which lie ahead, and those over which we have traveled, and if the future road looms ominous or unpromising, and the roads back uninviting, then we need to gather our resolve and, carrying only the necessary baggage, step off that road into another direction. If the new choice is also unpalatable, without embarrassment, we must be ready to change that as well.

Oh, the holiness of being the injured party.

Tell the truth and not the facts.

A joyful spirit is evidence of a grateful heart.

Raising kids is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

In diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
