"…I know, each of us
is unique, but life happens in ways that bind us like Gorilla Glue…No matter
where we live, we all have those moments when a sudden reminder of life's
brevity changes us, at least for a little while. In that quiet moment of surrender,
life happens."

Prize-winning journalist, Copyrighted excerpt from "Life Happens: And
Other Unavoidable Truths"

“We invoke the prayers of our grandmothers … Let their spirit guide us as we claim the spirit of old. There’s something within me that holds the reins. There’s something within me that banishes pain. There’s something within me that I cannot explain… all I know … is there is something within. There is something within.”

"Sally
[Field], I have to thank you for being the vanguard against typecasting — the
Flying Nun grew up to be Norma Rae, grew up to be Mrs. Gump, grew up to be Mary
Todd Lincoln."

"I
live in Eastern Congo, labeled as one of the worst places in the world to be a
woman. I belong to a marginalized tribe, and I am crippled from polio. But none
of those things characterize me. I have a vision for my country that compels
me, and its destiny is driving me. It’s big, maybe improbable, but not
impossible. For I have learned that making the impossible possible, simply
requires a different set of rules. And I’m all about changing the rules."
