    the best piece of advice you've received

    "Move your *kitten*!"

    I was six years old and retrieving a ball that caromed into the street. I almost got hit by a truck.

    If you don't have anything nice to say.....don't say anything at all!..........
    It is a wonder I have not bitten my own tongue off a million times, but learning this has saved my @ss countless times

    Live each day as if it was an adventure, and treasure those around you- you may not have tomorrow.

    Also, hair is just hair---so a bad hair cut is no big deal! .

    These came from having leukemia at 25-I learned life is a gift...and the No-hair cut from chemo sucks, ha ha, but it does save lives! :D

    There are very few people in your life who you can genuinely trust. Keep your loved ones close, your mind sharp, and don't let your guard down.

    That we are self-empowered by setting goals and taking action to get the things we want in life.

    Success is a choice.

    Never make someone a priority if they only make you an option.

    Treasure every day. It's a gift. Every moment is precious. Hug the person you love. Smile. Laugh. Use the good china!

    tell people who you love that you love them often... and forgive them often too... because you never know when you'll lose them.

    Live your life answering the "what ifs?"

    Go on that date, take that trip, apply for that internship overseas... answer "What if?"

    From life experiences- We all deserve a second chance....just not a 3rd, 4th, etc...

    A person will not change no matter how bad you want them to, they must first want to change themselves.

    Life is what you make of it :)

    No matter what, there is always someone who is worse off than you.

    I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. --John Galt; as written by Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged

    "There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."

    Treasure every minute you have with your family.

    I lost my father at 27 and my father in law at 29!

    Be honest with yourself about what you want, need and deserve.
    In life, in love, in work, in everything.


    If you are dishonest about any of those things, you WILL be unhappy.

    Balance....its all about balance. Sometimes it will swing left sometimes right but always try to achieve the right balance, in mind body and soul. The other is learn to forgive yourself and move on.

    The heart doesn't lie. Whether it's good or bad, it never lies. It warns you, it cautions you. Follow your heart.

    People are people regardless of race, ethnicity, finanicial position, sexual orientation, etc. When we really realize that, then maybe we'll treat each other much better.
