memories who-we-are matter
Don't go to eighth grade...don't talk about something old...don't bring up old memories that have nothing to do with who we are now. THIS is all that matters! TODAY.
hurt past challenges
The past may not hurt you, but it won't challenge you, either.
writing sitting desks
Here's what I love: I love sitting at my desk, staring at the blank screen, and beginning that conversation with my imaginary friends.
decisions-we-make decision cost
You tell them - you tell them there's a cost.....Every decision we make in life, there's always a cost.
world this-world trusting-someone
In this world, there was nothing scarier than trusting someone. But there was also nothing more rewarding.
father people waiting
...as your father, my instinct is to protect you ... Other people will want to protect you too. But remember that you are not a damsel in distress, waiting for some prince to rescue you. Forget the prince. With your brain and your resourcefulness, you can rescue yourself.
pain world harm
So much harm comes into this world when the wrong thing is said. But that's nothing compared to the pain from what goes unsaid.
mother daughter fighting
As I tell my daughter, when you want something in life - no matter how impossible it seems - you need to fight for it.
mother daughter book
But to me, the most important page in my daughter's book is the last one - because it's blank. It says 'Your Hero's Photo Here,' and 'Your Hero's Story Here.'
daughter mother strong-women
On the day my daughter was born, I started writing a book for her. The plan was that, over the course of her life, I'd fill it with advice on how to be a strong woman. But along the way, I got caught up in the stories of Amelia Earhart, Sally Ride, and so many others. So how do you pick the best heroes for your kids?
sex memories love-you
There are some people in your life who bring back old memories. And there are others - your first kiss, your first love, your first sex - who, the moment you see them, bring a spark...and something far more potent. They bring back your old life and with that, potential. And possibilities. And the feeling that if you were back in that time, life could be so very different from where you're stuck right now. That's the most tantalizing thing....I want my potential back.
life-is filled
Life is filled with trapdoors.
fear numbers goal
And y'know what they decided the number one threat was? The destructive and disruptive capability of a small group. That's what they're worried about most... they're terrified of a small group with a committed goal.
fear sleep past
When I was in that danger...I felt like I was shaken awake...after everything she made me feel...I made a decision and went to sleep. Do you know what that's like - trying to go to sleep, and lose yourself in the hopes of burying the worst fears in your life?...I wasn't in love with the past. I was terrified of my own future.
