Jesus has been in my room. He has taken my hand and told me, No, Not now. I have other things for you to do.

I wish to be put away in a western dress I designed, with my daughter's little gold cross necklace and my son's small white testament in my hands, and my wedding band on.

You don't appreciate home until you leave it and, let me tell you, you can't appreciate life till you've almost left it! Some people hope and die with their song still in them. I used to think that happiness resulted when my earnings matched my yearnings! But not anymore!

I think I've found out who I am and what we've been looking for. We don't have to search for my identity anymore. This is it-we're doing it!

Im not making up my mind about anything right now. Things are happening so quickly for me, and Im still in the thinking stage.

Mother would come and pick me up at work and take me wherever I could get a job. Mother didn't trust anybody with me. Usually we'd get home at 3 in the morning.

The final words of a domestic bully: If you leave me now furious angels will descend upon you and bring you back to me.
