There's a wealth that has nothing to do with dollars, that comes from the perspective and wisdom of paying attention to your life.

You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world.

I cannot be defined by what other people think.

You were seen, you were heard and you matter.

If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else thinks, the world will not fall apart.

Do not waste your time with people who have shown you they really mean no good for you.

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.
