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

You become what you believe - not what you wish or want but what you truly believe. Wherever you are in life, look at your beliefs. They put you there.

There is a lesson in almost everything that you do, and getting the lesson is how you move forward. It is how you enrich your spirit.

I know for sure that's what we're here to do: Keep the joy thing going for all seasons.

I was probably toward 8 1/2 when I actually joined the church and was baptized - and, my God, did I take it seriously! I was a zealot who irritated every one of my third-grade friends. They didn't beat me up, but I got labeled "the preacher girl."

I trust that everything happens for a reason, even if we are not wise enough to see it.
