“Life is NOT short! It's just by the time we catch up to appreciating it...we've already left life at least halfway behind us.”

“It seems the older we get, the tighter our inner circle becomes. When life has you down, some of those you thought had your back run, others...sometimes strangers surprise you and fill that empty space up. Oh, but life has a great balancing act and when that axle turns and you are right side up again...you will definitely not be looking for any long, lost "friends" because your inner circle is battle-tested to win!”

“The human touch is a necessary element of life. Sometimes a simple hug could mean the world to someone. Go ahead, hug someone toady.”

“When asked why I am single, my reply is simply; I consider myself a black pearl rare in my authenticity, adding a mysterious beauty to the select few who can recognize & even fewer who appreciate my worth. So instead of dating, I throw myself into working in the field. If my Boaz recognizes me amongst the black rocks...great! If not, the magnificence of my rarity will simply radiate onto those working the fields as well in the form of teaching, which is what I do.”

“When that light within begins to dim, fan the flame just enough to spark something!”

“Every closed door isn't locked and even if it is...YOU just might have the key! Search within to unlock a world of possibilities!”

“God will not give you more than you can bear. Just when it feels like your back is breaking...the weight is lifted & you can stand straight again. He knows just how much you can carry & you find out that you are stronger than you thought. You have also built muscles for the future.”
