When you write a book, you are asking someone to make an investment in their time and money. A column can come and go as the weeks pass, but a book needs to be timeless.

Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

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

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

Frame every so-called disaster with these words: In five years, will this matter?

God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
