“Make peace with the fire in your heart.”

Do everything with love, do it because it gives you satisfaction and joy, do it because it feeds your soul, do it because it helps you grow and gives you that confidence in yourself we’re all after.

Therapy. Acting classes. Yoga. Strong friendships. All these helped me see and heal parts of me I was trying to hide.

Believe in your dreams, because if you don’t, nobody will.

Being openly sensitive is letting people in. It’s trusting that they can receive your story with an open heart.

Do you know what’s sexy? Courage. Courage is sexy AF.

Take your passion seriously, it is your calling.

That person you needed when you were 18, be that person.

You could have left me in the jungle. I would have survived and mastered bird language. Adaptability is my secret weapon.

As the sun goes down, thank the universe for the day that passed and pray for the day to come.  

Kind words can unlock doors in people’s minds. Your kind words may destroy walls that were built on that ground we call self-doubt. So be kind with your words. Unlock doors. Destroy walls.

The day spirituality will replace religion is the day WE, as ONE, will know peace.

Let the ocean be your example, calm and soothing but yet incomparably strong.

There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.

Let your Christianity be so unmistakable, your eye so single, your heart so whole, your walk so straightforward, that all who see you may have no doubt whose you are, and whom you serve.

When you come calling I’ll answer. But I know I have to keep a piece of my heart just for me.

Weary hearts can still hold love.

Put a straw into my heart and drink my love for you.

Late nights. Poetry. Cigarettes. and a wounded heart, trying to forget you.

Many of my cartoons are not a belly laugh. I go for nostalgia, the lump in the throat, the tear in the eye, the tug in the heart.

Throw back the shoulders, let the heart sing, let the eyes flash, let the mind be lifted up, look upward and say to yourself … nothing is impossible!
