We all have a personal pool of quicksand inside us where we begin to sink and need friends and family to find us and remind us of all the good that has been and will be.

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

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.

A book store is a treasure chest. Every time you walk in one, you strike gold.

No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

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.
