I choose to rise up out of that storm and see that in moments of desperation, fear, and helplessness, each of us can be a rainbow of hope, doing what we can to extend ourselves in kindness and grace to one another. And I know for sure that there is no them - there's only us.

Failure is life at it's most poignant and it's only there to push you in the right direction.

How you spend your time defines who you are.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.

The best work we can all do is create the highest vision possible for our lives and be led by that vision to the greatest good.

I would say my faith has become strengthened every time I have faced what I considered to be a trial, and there is no greater trial than being 14 and pregnant and not even knowing what it is.

You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it.
