It's an objective fact that I am a double amputee, but it's very subjective opinion as to whether that makes me disabled.

Adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet.

Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.

Giving up is conceding that things will never get better, and that is just not true. Ups and downs are a constant in life, and I've been belted into that roller coaster a thousand times.

People presume my disability has to do with being an amputee, but that's not the case; our insecurities are our disabilities, and I struggle with those as does everyone.

I really, really thought that it was a no-brainer in terms of being a hit. And so it does surprise that that hasn't been the manifested reception of it so far.

My faith has no bed to sleep upon but omnipotence.

And simple truth miscalled simplicity
