There were two kinds of women: those who wear nail polish and those who don't. Which do you prefer?

If baking is any labor at all, it's a labor of love. A love that gets passed from generation to generation.

No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.

Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

If we threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

Baking happens with ingredients that last for months and come to life inside a warm oven. Baking is slow and leisurely.

Summer is the annual permission slip to be lazy. To do nothing and have it count for something. To lie in the grass and count the stars. To sit on a branch and study the clouds.

Love is just a word for him, where she means a world to him!

What happened? How did I get here? How could I have known that my choices mattered?

As you get older, you change certain things.

I'm admittedly a record guy. Singles and I are a different beast. I'm definitely an overall picture thinker.

When I use the word spirituality, I don't necessarily mean religion; I mean whatever it is that helps you feel connected to something that is larger than yourself.

I have no desire to be a lead actor or anything. I was offered things and occasionally something comes along, but for the most part I'm pretty much, "You've got to be joking, right?"

I'm an escaped car thief. I broke out of prison to see the Cubs in the World Series.

Inevitably in any work you do I think that there is a sense of continuity, and I like that.

Quit jumping over our feelings!

Oh, how everything that is suffered with love is healed again!
