“So much about living life, to me, is about humility and gratitude. And I’ve tried very hard to have those qualities and be that person and I’m just so disappointed in myself that I allowed it to slip.”

Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start. It felt natural and right to me.

It’s more fun to think that there are other worlds.

I’d be a terrible secret agent. I can’t keep a secret and I’m not sneaky.

I can hide, and my husband’s just terrible at finding me. I do like to jump out from behind doors and scare him.

Guys are kind of retarded until they’re about 30.

I’m not really a first-move kind of gal.

I’m a talker. I love a good debate.

A lot of children don’t find forever homes because they’re on that special-needs list, even if it’s because of something as simple as her mother smoked cigarettes for a month, not knowing she was pregnant.

It’s easy to be taken advantage of if you’re not honest.

I’m not perfect. But clothes help. A good bra with some underwire definitely helps a lot!

I want to stay in the moment and enjoy the great things that are happening.

I’m not terribly sentimental.

Of course, of course I’m grateful. How can I not be grateful? I have been afforded such a wonderful life.

I think that I always loved being the centre of attention!

I always assume I look better than I actually do. I’ll feel pretty good about myself when I leave the house, then I’ll see a picture and think, ‘Crap, I had no idea that’s what I was looking like.’

I spent so many years just saying what I felt without thinking about the ramifications, without understanding that I have this opinion but not everyone might share that opinion and now they don’t like me because of it.

Promoting active liberty does not mean allowing the majority to run roughshod over minorities.

I put God first and do not allow other things to cloud my vision.

Don’t allow anyoneto tell you your worth & the path you need to take.

Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.

It is freedom that allows ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

I had noticed that both in the very poor and very rich extremes of society the mad were often allowed to mingle freely.

And don’t worry about the bits you can’t understand. Sit back and allow the words to wash around you, like music.

Aggressive mindset allows for less pain physically and mentally.
