Life's a test, mistakes are lessons, but the gift of life is knowing that you have made a difference.
I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.
I don't want to be a role model. I just want to be someone who says, this is who I am, this is what I do, I say what's on my mind.
All I'm trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me.

Life once conceived, must be protected with the utmost care; abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.
I've never had a particular skill. I can't cook, dance, play an instrument, speak a foreign language. This used to worry me.

It is always the first and last steps that are the hardest to take. We walk away and try not to turn back, or we stand just outside the gates, terrified to find what's waiting for us now that we've returned. In between, we stumble blindly from one place and life to the next. We try to do the best we can. There are moments like this, however, when we are neither coming nor going, and all we have to do is sit and look back on the life we have made.
I join the March for Life in Washington with my prayers. May God help us respect all life, especially the most vulnerable.
Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons.
