“You are designed by God not to blend in, but to stand out”

For a woman, language spoken is an expression of what she is feeling. For a man, language spoken is an expression of what he is thinking. A woman says what is on her heart while a man says what is on his mind.

Healthy relationships should always begin at the spiritual and intellectual levels – the levels of purpose, motivation, interests, dreams,and personality.

The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation.

The bible does not say that a man’s education makes room for him, but that his gifts does. Education is not the key to success, it doesn’t guarantee anything; it is your gift that is the key to success.

Democracy without God is mans worship and elevation of himself and his own intelligence or humanism, where man becomes his own measure for morality, judgment, and justice.

Don’t ever make the mistake of telling God that you have nothing to offer. That simply is not true. God does not create any junk.

The greatest discovery in life is self-discovery. Until you find yourself you will always be someone else. Become yourself.

There is no limit to what the Lord can do in and with and through any individual or any married couple who surrender themselves and their resources completely to His will and His way.

In life, purpose is defined by the thing that makes you angry. Martin Luther was angry; Mandela was angry; Mahatma Gandhi was angry; Mother Teresa was angry. If you are not angry, you do not have a ministry yet.

The poorest person on earth is the person without faith.

A woman may be beautiful but have poor character. A man may be a business genius, making money left and right, but lack common courtesy, sensitivity, and compassion.

The worst mistake a leader can make is to mentor no one, choose no successor and leave no legacy.

When you believe in your dream and your vision, then it begins to attract its own resources. No one was born to be a failure.

Your value in life is determined by the problems you solve through your gift.

You must decide if you are going to rob the world or bless it with the rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked away within you.

Don’t be pushed by your problems, be led by your dreams. Govern your life by priorities not your pressures.

I was a total fashion insider who became an outsider when I did bridal.

With clothes, I like mixing what different designers do until it becomes a personal expression of how I’m feeling that day.

I love a black wedding dress.

I did not direct my life. I didn’t design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That’s what life is.

I’m drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.

I was stigmatized by being a bridal designer for a long time. I am amazed I have been able to move beyond it. I had really all but given up trying, but I did it because it was my lifelong dream.

I brought color to bridal. There was one whole season of blush. If you think about the bareness, the illusion (fabric), the corsets that I did in bridal, they were trends in ready-to-wear, too.
