Every time I set foot on that trail, I feel grateful for the PCTA for doing the work it does to protect and preserve it

You will learn a lot about yourself if you stretch in the direction of goodness, of bigness, of kindness, of forgiveness, of emotional bravery. Be a warrior for love.

What if I was never redeemed? What if I already was?

Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.

Whatever happens to you belongs to you. Make it yours. Feed it to yourself even if it feels impossible to swallow. Let it nurture you, because it will.

I like to do things that are new, where I feel the sense of discovery.

I'm also pretty impressive when I'm shoving the neck of a lute into someone's chest cavity.

I'll protect and expand access to no-copay birth control and safe, legal abortion.

The people who I thought would be the hardest to work with were the easiest, and the people I thought would be the easiest were actually the hardest.
