Kids are a huge sacrifice; they change everything - but I'm ready to work for things of greater importance than going out to meet someone for dinner at 10 o'clock at night.

A girl told me my lips looked like somebody had pressed strawberry yogurt against my face.

Isn't it so weird the day you wake up and you're just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.

We may not know how to forgive, and we may not want to forgive; but the very fact we say we are willing to forgive begins the healing practice.

A whale is as unique as a cactus. But don't ask a whale to survive Death Valley. We all have special gifts. Where we use them and how determines whether we actually complete something.

I just don't conform very well.
