“This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!”

I want to live my life in such a way that when my body is laid to rest, it will be a well needed rest from a life well lived, a song well sung, a book well written, opportunities well explored, and a love well expressed.”

“I don't want my life to be defined by what is etched on a tombstone. I want it to be defined by what is etched in the lives and hearts of those I've touched.”

“Get out of your own way… stop the paralysis by analysis… decide what you want, create a simple plan, and get moving!”

“When I was young, I used to wish I would fit in… I’m glad I didn’t get my wish.”

“Reading the Bible will help you get to know the word, but it’s when you put it down and live your life that you get to know the author.”
