In God, I move and breathe and have my being.

You can't give it to others if you don't have it in yourself.

Take five minutes to center yourself in the morning...Set your intention every day.

My highest achievement: never shutting my heart down. Even in my darkest moments - through sexual abuse, a pregnancy at 14, lies and betrayals - I remained faithful, hopeful, and open to seeing the best in people, regardless of whether they were showing me their worst. I stayed open to believing that no matter how hard the climb, there is always a way to let in a sliver of light to illuminate the path forward.

I believe that everyone is the keeper of a dream – and by tuning into one another’s secret hopes, we can become better friends, better partners, better parents, and better lovers.

If things go wrong and you hit a dead end-as you will-it's just life's way of saying it's time to change course

Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity.
