To have your childhood dream realized is a really big deal.
The thing you can do better than anyone else is love your children, because they’re your children.
Maya Rudolph (born 1972) is an American actress, comedian, and singer.
Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.
From 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a: “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it keeps no record of wrongs; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”
Maya Angelou (1928-2014) was an American author, poet, and civil rights activist. Her body of published work is found in autobiographies, essays, poems, and numerous credits in plays, movies, and television shows.
The thing you can always rely on, your core person, comes from your family’s attention and love.
No on is any one thing.
Martin Short (born 1950) is an Canadian-American actor, comedian, and writer. He is well-known for his work on “SCTV” (Second City Television) in Canada and “Saturday Night Live” in the U.S.

Only the courteous can love, but it is love that makes them courteous.
From 1 Peter 4:9: “Be hospitable to one another without complaining.”
You’re not here to be perfect or to set a good example or to please anyone. You were born to love and enjoy your ordinary, peculiar, inconsistent, good-enough self.
PERFECTIONISM: You have to do everything right to be loved. LOVE: You don’t have to do anything right to be loved.
Allyson Dinneen is an American marriage and family therapist as well as a writer. As the above words attest to, much of her work reaches out to dispel the connection between perfectionism and being loved.
Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench when there is plenty of room at both ends.
Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.
