I'm definitely not a traditionalist, because a traditionalist would be going to church every Sunday.
Don't settle for a relationship that won't let you be yourself.
Don't get confused with what people say you are, with who you know you are.
Learn from every mistake, because every experience, particularly your mistakes, are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.
No matter where you are on your journey, that's exactly where you need to be. The next road is always ahead.
I want to continue to encourage as many people as I can to open their hearts to life, because if I know anything for sure, it's that opening my own heart is what has brought me my greatest success and joy.
True forgiveness is when you can say, "Thank you for that experience.

What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it.
