“A few lessons learned as a teacher: I've learned that if you whisper, children will listen...a scribble can be anything (I mean anything!) a monster, a cat, a mom, a dad--our job is to ask to find out and pay attention--usually the most challenging student needs the most challenges to keep them learning and engaged---most of all we must care and the rest handles itself. xo”

“Love what you do and your heart will lead the rest of the way.”

“I don't live to work. I work to live. Before I die, I know I lived.”

“There is no way to clearly capture or sum up life...when fully lived.”

“The only reality is the now. Why live in the tomorrows and the yesterdays? Live now.”

“Start each day asking, "How do I want others to feel?" Then act accordingly.”

“The only thing we should scream into the world is love.”

“Running my fastest not from my past. Running from those who have hurt me in it. And, they can't catch me anymore. I escaped from the land of make believe.”

“We are all different. God made us that way. Drawing a line in the sand due to that is indeed unfortunate.”

“Yesterday I smiled, tomorrow never came and today is what I'm living.”

“Walls get made, walls crumble, buildings get built, buildings collapse, memories get made, memories last.”
