Hope is not attached to outcomes but is a state of mind, as Vaclav Havel says, "an orientation of the spirit." And I have faith; maybe more than hope, I have faith. I think of my great-grandmother, Vilate Lee Romney, who came from good pioneer Mormon stock. She always said to us that faith without works is dead, so I think if we have hope, we must work to further that hope. Maybe that is the most important thing of all, to have our faith rooted in action.

When I look in the mirror, I see a woman with secrets. When we don’t listen to our intuition, we abandon our souls. And we abandon our souls because we are afraid if we don’t, others will abandon us.

When silence is a choice, it is an unnerving presence. When silence is imposed, it is censorship.

I think my heart breaks daily living in Salt Lake City, Utah. But I still love it. And that is the richness, the texture.

I still have great faith in democracy. I have great belief in the power of community.

We are wearing coats of trust. When one tells a story this is what happens.

Social change can be seen as a mosaic, taking that which is broken and creating something new.
