If there is someone in your life who is not serving you or making you better, give yourself permission to move on.

There's a lot of women out there, some of whom are my age who've never been married and some who have been married and would like to be married again but think their ship has sailed, and I'm like, 'Oh no, honey, let Miss Niecy show you it is never too late for love!'

Reality does get a bad rap. But I'm not concerned about it 'cause I know who I am. They can edit it, but you are in charge of what you do.

Don't go telling yourself you're in love with the man he could be; you gotta love the man standing in front of you right now. Simply put, love the person not the potential! Otherwise, he will always be disappointing to you. And whose fault is that?

The adage 'a family that prays together, stays together' is so true.

I didn't marry a man that wanted to be in the business. But that's why we're a perfect fit.

We are bred to compare ourselves to the next person, to what they have and what they have accomplished.
