My Virtual Reading Room

"Just because your pain is understandable, doesn't mean your behavior is acceptable."

"You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously."

"Live your truth. Express your love. Share your enthusiasm. Take action towards your dreams. Walk your talk. Dance and sing to your music. Embrace your blessings. Make today worth remembering."

"Know your circle. Make sure everybody in your 'boat' is rowing and not drilling holes when you're not looking."

"When was the last time you woke up and realized that today could be the best day of your life?"

"Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving; we get stronger and more resilient."

"I can’t control your behavior; nor do I want that burden… but I will not apologize for refusing to be disrespected, to be lied to, or to be mistreated. I have standards; step up or step out."

"Life is too short to waste time waiting for other people's approval on how you live it."

"You are not a victim. No matter what you have been through, you're still here. You may have been challenged, hurt, betrayed, beaten, and discouraged, but nothing has defeated you. You are still here! You have been delayed but not denied. You are not a victim, you are a victor. You have a history of victory."

"Judge me if you want, but at the end of my life I choose to have memories not regrets."

"When a new day begins... dare to smile gratefully."

"When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back."

"Don't just dream of success; create a plan and act upon it! Your momentum creates the door upon which opportunity knocks."

"Your life isn't behind you; your memories are behind you. Your life is ALWAYS ahead of you. Today is a new day - seize it!"

"To embark on the journey towards your goals and dreams requires bravery. To remain on that path requires courage. The bridge that merges the two is commitment."

"Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong."
