That's what life is: an open door to all that is possible. And that's a powerful thing.

I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.

When you give up on life, never give up on yourself, because there is so much for you to keep on giving!
