Quotes
I wasn’t able to heal until I could start sharing my story.
There’s life outside the plans we have for ourselves.
I don’t think you can change people until they’re ready to change.
When you find out what you’re grateful for, you realize what you’re about.
If life does take a detour you’ve got to follow that detour and just be open to where it leads because you really don’t know what you’ll get along the way.
