Forgivness is letting go of the hope that the past can be changed

If you peel back the layers of your life-the frenzy, the noise-stillness is waiting. That stillness is you.

Making other people happy is what brings me happiness. I have a blessed life, and I have always shared my life's gifts with others. I will continue to use my voice and my life as a catalyst for encouraging people to help make a difference in the lives of others.

You can take from every experience what it has to offer you. And you cannot be defeated if you just keep taking one breath followed by another.

You are the author of your own life...Don't let others define it for you. Real power comes by doing what you are meant to be doing, and doing it well.

Back then, a few doilies and napkins were all that a lot of women had. In the little house where I grew up, the pillowcases my grandmother embroidered were the only things of beauty.

Don't worry about being successful. Worry about being significant.
