“Let no man hold you accountable for something God Almighty has already forgiven you for.”
“Stop making your self-worth conditional on other people. No one, and I mean absolutely no one has the power to devalue your existence.”
“We don't get better by chance, we only become better by absolute change.”
“God speaks through trials...Listen.”
“I've learned that our backgrounds and circumstances may have influenced our lives, but we are responsible for who we become and in the same breath, who we become can't be preached and can only really be shown through our actions.”
“Although my speaking will reflect the grace and mercy I've been offered and humbly accepted, I don't have to say much because words only go so far. At the end of the day, it will not be the year of my birth or the year of my death that will matter; it will be that hyphen in the midst of it all that will display how I lived my life; will tell a full and complete story; will say more than my mouth could utter.My actions, my trials, my triumphs, my defeats, my victories - my life will preach louder than an auditory testimony ever could.I am working on the person I want to remember.”
“I treat people with respect, love, kindness and grace not because of who they are, but because of who I am.”
“A real woman can compliment and celebrate another woman's beauty, intelligence, passion, sex appeal, and creativity without compromise because a real woman understands that when she lifts her sisters up, it takes nothing away from her and she elevates herself in the process.”
“Liberation is a beautiful thing when embarking on the glorious moment when the truth about someone is revealed to you, in bold and vibrant color and you have the courage, with wide-open eyes to see reality more vividly, and the wisdom to act accordingly.”
“Today is the day to move pass your past, move closer to your dreams, rise above your detractors, feel the fear and do it anyway, stoop below your ego, get out of your own way, and allow your life to amaze you.”
