Sometimes you are strong, sometimes you are weak.

You don't realize how strong you are until you have to help someone else stand up.

No matter how strong you are, no matter how smart you are or tough you can be, the world will find a way to break you. And when it does, the only thing you can do is hold on.

Notice the times in your life when you go above and beyond simply because you care so much.

You can't write about an iconic Hollywood star of the sixties without bumping up against Elizabeth Taylor.

You have to know your value, demand to be respected, speak your mind, and dare to ask for what you want. I struggle with every single one of these.
