Nothing beats having a genuine compassion for human souls. If there is one thing I know, it's that people want to be acknowledged; they want to be heard; and above all, they want to be appreciated.

I run because it's my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I'm going where I'm going and I'm already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise... it's a consistent reward for victory!

You can gain more friends by being yourself than you can by putting up a front. You can gain more friends by building people up than you can by tearing them down. And you can gain more friends by taking a few minutes from each day to do something kind for someone, whether it be a friend or a complete stranger. What a difference one person can make!

Inspiration is the gift of those who have experienced life at its most defined moments.

A change in attitude can change your life!.

A heart that desires to give is the one that succeeds.

I don't think I ever knew just how great it can feel to push your body past its limits, and running is a great way to do it. In fact, the harder I train, the more awesome the after-effects!
