Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.

I would like to be known as an intelligent woman, a courageous woman, a loving woman, a woman who teaches by being.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Each one of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm, when we look at each other we must say, I understand. I understand how you feel because I have been there myself. We must support each other and empathize with each other because each of us is more alike than we are unalike.

When you do nothing you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.
