You know, you don't have to look like everybody else to be acceptable and to feel acceptable.

Pictures and sound bites are not what I've ever wanted to communicate to anybody. There's nothing more fascinating for a human being to witness than the unfolding of a relationship between two persons.

From the time you were very little, you’ve had people who have smiled you into smiling, people who have talked you into talking, sung you into singing, loved you into loving. Let’s take some time to think of those extra special people.

No one else can live the life you live. And even though no human being is perfect, we always have the chance to bring what’s unique about us to live in a redeeming way.

We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are.

Isn’t it mysterious how so many wonderful things in life came to us seemly without planning? We start out on one street, and find something we never expected on a side street; and as we explore it, the side street becomes the main road for us.

It is a lonely feeling, isn't it? To think that you might do something to hurt somebody else.
