“Some of us find our lives abridged even before the paperback comes out. ”

“We were new then, our lives stretched out before us. Our families had let us go. Abbott had yet to find us. For this very short time, it would be just the two of us - just two kids.”

“some people come into our lives and leave footprints in our hearts. others come and make us want to leave foot prints on their face.”

“If we don't control our schedule - our schedule will control us. If we don't find a way to live a balanced life -our lives will get out of balance.”

“There comes a moment in our lives when some of the pieces of the puzzle come together - where all our past experiences, both good and bad, are brought to bear in causing us to become who God intends us to be.”

“Just like any woman,...we weave our stories out of our bodies. Some of us through our chicdren, or our art; some do it just by living. It's all the same.”
