I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.

Don't complain about what you don't have. Use what you've got. To do less than your best is a sin. Every single one of us has the power for greatness, because greatness is determined by service-to yourself and to others.

If you look at what you have in life, you'll always have more. If you look at what you don't have in life, you'll never have enough.

I've learned that you can't have everything and do everything at the same time.

There is no greater source of strength and power for me in my life than going still, being quiet and recognizing what real power is.

This season don't get lost in making the perfect meal or become overwhelmed with all the folks in your house. Use this time to center yourself.

What I find powerful is a person with the confidence to be her own self.
