“Some of the things I hated my parents for when I was younger are the same things I love my parents for now that I'm older.”

“I don't have time, energy, or interest in hating the haters; I'm too busy loving the lovers.”

“There are times in my life when I have been medicine for some while poison for others. I used to think I was a victim of my story until I realized the truth; that I am the creator of my story. I choose what type of person I will be and what type of impact I will leave on others. I will never choose the destructive path of self and outward victimization again.”

“I find few things more personally enriching than exploring the parameters of my own ignorance.”

“I will be generous with my love today. I will sprinkle compliments and uplifting words everywhere I go. I will do this knowing that my words are like seeds and when they fall on fertile soil, a reflection of those seeds will grow into something greater.”

“My love for you spans over the lines of my past, present, and future. You are what I love remembering, what I love experiencing, and what I love looking forward to.”

“Change is the parent of progress.”
