“

All I want to be is a person who is joyous, who finds hope in the brokenness and light in the dark. I just want to fill and be filled, to bless other people as I have been blessed.

“

We assume real love is noisy. Real love is messy. 

“

I want to be the kind of person whose laugh lights up a room, whose smile brings one across your face unconsciously. The kind of person who never half-does or half-loves, but pours her entire heart into everything and everyone.

“

Love, damn it. Love. Love wildly. Love fiercely. Love with all of you, and don’t hold back.

“

Love is something you discover when you’re chasing your passions, and too busy falling in love with yourself, with your life, with the things you do, to be looking for it.

“

If you’re going to love someone, love them passionately.

“

Jump in the car this Valentine’s Day, even if it’s just a day trip and spend some quality time with your automobile for miles and miles.

“

What decade is it? Why are we, strong, independent, well-educated and intelligent women, still telling each other to “man up”?

“

Date someone with a passion. Look for it in their eyes. You will see it there. When a fire burns in someone, you will always, always see it. It cannot be hidden or ignored.

“

On the outside, you appear to be the perfect couple. As a matter of fact, you are the envy of both, friends and family.
