Favorite Quote:

"There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people that create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life; getting back up is living." Unknown

"Creating a world that works for all." Sharif M. Abdullah

"Be the change you wish to see in world." Mahatma Gandhi

"They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them." Mahatma Gandhi

"The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs." Joan Didion

It all boils down to respect for self, others, and taking personal responsibility for ones choices.
