Love has no agenda …

A little girl needs to know that she really is a princess … and that the only way to live that dream is from the inside out.… More

Obstacles are easier to overcome than excuses. When we WANT an excuse, we can always come up with another one.

Some of our greatest heroes had many obstacles, but no excuses.

And Love is the real superhero. … More

When we think of “playing big,” we might imagine fame or mega bucks. Playing big is really playing fearlessly, though. What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

Would you go out and conquer the world–or save it? Get a job, quit a job? Or, would you stay home with the baby?

There is no right or wrong answer. But love is fearless … and it’s BIG! YOU’RE BIG! … More
