“I’m thankful For the blessing And the lessons that I’ve learned with you By my side”

I feel like as a generation, we sell ourselves short. I just expected more from us.

The fact that I get to do what I love and 14 years in, I’m still doing it – I don’t know how anything could get better.

I love healthy stuff and junk an equal amount. Whatever I’m craving, I go for it. I’m never trying to lose weight – or gain it. I’m just being.

Everybody always says that I’m the girl next door, which makes me think that y’all must have a lot of weird next-door neighbours.

I was on Ghetto Idol. We didn’t have any of the stuff they have now.

I go to bed every night and the list of what I’ve accomplished is astounding.

Pick the weeds and keep the flowers.

There is no greater feeling than hanging out with my dogs, or just walking around the land with our horses. My rescue ranch is is where I feel the most at peace and where I’m reminded of the simple things in life and let the chaos of my crazy work life fade away.

My winning is getting to perform. That’s my victory.

I’ve dated a couple of guys who were awesome, and the celebrity part of my life and the traveling part are hard to get around. You never get to see each other, especially if you’re both musicians.

I’ve always been about less government.

No matter what size I am I love performing no matter how big or little I am! I feel good.

I feel like you can be the best role model by being yourself.

You need to be happy with who you are and, whoever that is, let your little light shine.

I was in a very dark place for a long time. It’s just so hard to have normalcy.

Music isn’t just heard, it is felt.

One should always look to the end of everything, how it will finally come out. For the god has shown blessedness to many only to overturn them utterly in the end.

Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.

I find, even though it’s raining, I just go outside. I look outside and I’m just so blessed to see it and to experience it, because for such a long time I was just indoors.

Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer.

A friend is one with whom you are comfortable, to whom you are loyal, through whom you are blessed, and for whom you are grateful.

Blessed be his name, who hath appointed the quiet night to follow the busy day, and the calm sleep to refresh the wearied limbs and to compose the troubled spirit.

I have heard men talk about the blessings of freedom, he said to himself, but I wish any wise man would teach me what use to make of it now that I have it.

Three enemies of personal peace: regret over yesterday’s mistakes, anxiety over tomorrow’s problems, and ingratitude for today’s blessings.
