The last watch I wore felt like a handcuff. When I need to know the time, I check my cell phone.

Choas will come, calm will follow, and then it will start up all over again. The secret is to savor the ride.

The idea of being stuck in a plane with dozens of people chatting over each other on their phones might feel like Dante's 10th circle of hell.

Eating something fresh out of the oven is like a hug you can taste.

Most of life is showing up. You do the best you can, which varies from day to day.

From now on, I pray like I mean it. No more hitting SEND over and over. It's changed my life. It has freed me from fear and opened up endless avenues for me as a writer, radio host, parent, wife, and friend. It has enhanced every relationship I'm in, starting with the most important one: my relationship with God. Real faith isn't praying without ceasing. It's believing that God heard you the first time.

When you hear the word 'cancer,' it's as if someone took the game of Life and tossed it in the air. All the pieces go flying. The pieces land on a new board. Everything has shifted. You don't know where to start.
