Real life is crazier than fiction.

At our core, we just want to know that we matter.

When I meditate in the morning, it really changes my day and my relationship with my day.

I've never had a plan, I've always done things from instinct.

In this life and the next, you're my only hope at happiness.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day.
