I try to stay centered in my faith and my family and the close people around me.

Don't worry about what you can't control.

Mom used to quote Isaiah 64: about waiting on the Lord. It doesn't mean being complacent. It means understanding that he has a plan, and that we're not the ones in control. In the meantime, we need to strive to use our gifts and abilities fully.

You just try to be nice to everybody and treat them all the same. Treat them how you would want to be treated.

You read glowing things and it doesn't feel deserved. You read things that are critical and it cuts you to the bone.

In those places of doubt and even darkness I've realized that who I am has nothing to do with wins or losses, applause, or negative criticism. It has to do with whose I am.

When I say something, I want people to take it to the bank that I mean it and believe in it. It humbles me that companies want me. It's a challenge to uphold their values and make their product look good. I take that personally.
