I believe that one can never leave home. I believe that one carries the shadows, the dreams, the fears and the dragons of home under one's skin, at the extreme corners of one's eyes and possibly in the gristle of the earlobe.

Don't trust people who don't laugh. I don't.

People have to feel needed. Frequently, we just offer a job and 'perks.' We don't always offer people a purpose. When people feel there is a purpose and that they're needed, there's not much else to do except let them do the work.

We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.

I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.

I encourage you to live with life. Be courageous, adventurous. Give us a tomorrow, more than we deserve.

Ain't nothin' to it, but to do it.
