We are each responsible for our own life-no other person can be.

Dare to be different. Be a pioneer. Be a leader. Be the kind of woman who in the face of adversity will continue to embrace life and walk fearlessly toward the challenge.

You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world.
