“Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others … Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.”(Journal entry, 14 October 1922)”

“I love to walk. Walking is a spiritual journey and a reflection of living. Each of us must determine which path to take and how far to walk; we must find our own way, what is right for one may not be for another. There is no single right way to deal with late stage cancer, to live life or approach death, or to walk an old mission trail.”

“Be in limits, life will never limit you.”

“Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back.”

“Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.”

“What the mind can conceive and believe, and the heart desire, you can achieve.”

“I have great faith in fools – self-confidence my friends will call it.”

“Don’t waste your energy trying to change opinions … Do your thing, and don’t care if they like it.”

“Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.”

“A competitive and insecure woman will tell you that “true love” is never giving up on someone you’re in love with. A confident and spiritual woman knows that “moving on” doesn’t mean you never loved someone. She realizes that letting go is what God needs her to do because both your happiness and hers requires taking different journeys for spiritual growth. Letting go is sometimes the hardest thing, but it is the most “real love” you will ever experience.”
