Too scared to fightToo afraid to open my eyesToo small to stand up for myselfToo awake to fight for my dreamsGod please teach me to be brave So that I can brave defeat

I know I am brave because the thought of giving up scares me more than the thought of fighting

I am defined not just by what you see, but by the potential within me, the possibilities I represent

Whatever you do, be fierce, be fearless

Whenever they say I am outgoing, I say...We must have met on the dance floor

When the days become darkThe nights become coldAnd all there is, is an empty soulBelieve you can escape your plightEven when relief is out of sightDon't you dare give up the fightDon't you dare

A crack on the road does not terminate the journey

You are the greatest treasure if you are your greatest treasure treasure

We were just two broken souls trying to fix one another...Somehow I ended up with a piece of you and you me

In search of that beat that my heart skipped when I first saw your beautiful soul...

Listen to me, there is freedom in love. Every day should feel like independence day

... it’s a blessed thing to love and feel loved in return.

Simplicity is the beauty of souls.

Excess has impaired perspective in America.

I am, you know, really fighting for myself and my life. And I think the message that I could give to anybody is that it's never too late to start your life again and dream new dreams.

I live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed.

C'mon, let's get real, real gone.

I'm able to inspire other people, to see the potential of a career, they can look to me and see that they can do it.

The writer after all is only half the book, the other half is the reader.

I'm not a tough boss in that I don't raise my voice, I don't freak out, and I don't have a temper most of the time.

Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope.
