I never wanted to give up my power. I wanted to be able to make my own decisions, so that's why I became involved in management, bottom line.

There are times you can't really see or even feel how sweet life can be. Hopefully its mountains will be higher than its valleys are deep. I know things that are broken can be fixed. Take the punch if you have to, hit the canvas and then get up again. Life is worth it.

I'm not allowed to get a big head, I've still got to do the simple things in life.

When there's something that impacts a family member or friend, that is difficult for them, you want to do what you can to help. Sometimes you can't do anything and it makes you feel like you're helpless, so those emotions cross a big barometer, but they're a big, broad stroke when it comes to someone who you care about. If you have compassion in your heart, you just care.

You can huff and puff. But blow me down? I doubt it kid, or you get your ass whupped.

I really don't know how to be anyone else, and whenever I try to be anyone else, I fail miserably. Or I disappoint myself. It doesn't build my self-esteem, and it doesn't help me grow me at all.

Church was a requirement, there was no choice in the matter, so was vacation bible school. Gospel has been in me since I was a kid.
