No matter how I feel, I get up, dress up, and show up for life. When I do, the day always serves up more than I could have hoped for. Each day truly is a slice of heaven. Some days the slices are just smaller than others.

The secret to success, to parenting, to life, is to not count up the cost. Don't focus on all the steps it will take. Don't stare into the abyss at the giant leap it will take. That view will keep you from taking the next small step.

It's easier to forgive those who hurt you than those who hurt the people you love.

Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

It's scary to make major changes, but we usually have enough courage to take the next right step. One small step and then another. That's what it takes to raise a child, to get a degree, to write a book, to do whatever it is your heart desires.

Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

God isn't present in the past or future. The great 'I Am' is in the present moment. When I claim that presence, I can get through anything today.
