If you know anything about me, you know that my life's taken a few unexpected curves and crashes along the way. But hey, at least I can say I took the scenic route!

I don't take vacations.

I'm a darned good listener.

People always say 'They [teens] need a good talking to.' I've never agreed with that. A kid needs a good listening to.

Nothing beats love. Love is the greatest healing power there is; nothing else comes close. Not ancient cures, modern medicines and technologies, or all the interesting books we read or the wise things we say and think. Love has a transformational power.

There are many paths but only one journey.

Hope is a gift we give ourselves, and it remains when all else is gone.
