After all these years, I could say thank you to a woman who had a powerful impact on my early life.

always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you'll have to eat them, you can swallow it well.

If you feel incomplete, you alone must fill yourself with love in all your empty shattered spaces

When women put their heads together, powerful things can happen!

Life isn't just about what you can have; it's about what you have to give, what kind of person do you want to be?

You can either waltz boldly onto the stage of life and live the way you know your spirit is nudging you to, or you can sit quietly by the wall, receding into the shadows of fear and self doubt.

You are not the product of your circumstances. You are a composite of all the things you believe, and all the places you believe you can go. Your past does not define you. You can step out of your history and create a new day for yourself. Even if the entire culture is saying, "You can't." Even if every single possible bad thing that can happen to you does. You can keep going forward.
