"You will never choose love greater than what you believe you deserve and what other insecure people tell your lack of self esteem to have faith in."

"When people don’t respect one another seldom is there honesty."

"Honesty is a heart that betrays itself for a dream, a moment, a kiss."

"The best stories are the ones with the unexpected plot twists that no one would have guessed, even the writer."

"Marriage is a journey of disasters, only to fall in love all over again, with the person that rescues you each time."

"There are many things evil people can take from you. However, they can never steal your ability to laugh and laugh loud."

"I don’t need to go to heaven or hell. I have been both places and always wanted more. I will settle for somewhere in between, so eternity never becomes dull and every miracle is something I never take for granted."

"Insanity is starting over a million times, expecting to feel the spark you never did the first time."

"Some women are built by the fire. Yet, there are some that are the FIRE!"

"Self worth is not measured by what you have, no matter how full your life is. Rather, it comes from what you are, how authentically you're really living your life, and how much you are willing to give to something other than your own insecurities."

"When you invite people to share in your miracle, you create future allies during rough weather."

"If all you do is set goals and achieve them then you have learned to be a doer. Happiness isn’t at the end of the next goal. It is the journey of aligning your choices to mold your character into the type of person who lives their belief system, then creates a life purpose that reflects that same person."
