Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

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.

Each day is a precious gift to be savored and used, not left unopened and hoarded for a future that may never come.

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.

Family is more than DNA, more than who we used to be, more than we can imagine we will become.

'Star Trek' never grabbed me. Every time I hear about Klingons, I think of those little lint balls that stick to your clothes in the dryer.

When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
