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.

Happiness is there for the taking - and the making.

Whatever your calling or purpose is, it's your job to feel it. No gift that you have been given was made for yourself.

To love yourself is a never-ending journey.

When you have more respect for yourself and put yourself in a position where you feel your sense of value or worth, that's how you know you're on the right path.

We are held accountable for every intention, which is why you are sitting where you are right now.

A gift isn't a gift unless it has meaning. Just giving things to people, especially children, create the expectation of more things.
