“Do not worry, my sweet one. Just as night is followed by day, so too your dark times will be followed by brighter days ahead.”

“True love is not a wish list but a “wish feeling.” And the number one feeling—even before the feeling of love—is the feeling of safety. Without feeling safe, you will never feel true love. You must have trust in your partner’s character and prioritize finding a partner who is honest, communicative, and empathic—someone who values growing—so you can feel safe to vulnerably be your truest core self with him—and then together the two of you can support one another to grow into your best possible selves.”

“Seek out the good in the bad,the happy in your sad,the gain in your pain,what make you grateful, not hateful.”

“Happiness is not about what happens to you, but how you choose to respond to what happens.”

“View your life with KINDSIGHT. Stop beating yourself up about things from your past. Instead of slapping your forehead and asking, “What was I thinking,” breathe and ask yourself the kinder question, “What was I learning?”

“What if I told you 10 years from now your life would be exactly the same?Doubt you'd be happy.So, why are you afraid of change?”

“I try to fill the emptiness deep inside me with Cheetos, but I am still depressed. Only now my fingers are stained orange. I am blue. And I am orange.”

“If you don't listen to your animal instincts, you are placing too much importance on knowledge thereby not being wise.”

“It's easy to become married. Millions of people do it every year. If you want to pressure me to become something, hey, why not pick something a little more challenging—like an astrophysicist.”

“God is even in a single parent household.”
