"I just say God marry the two stories." "Sometimes I feel like I speak better in my writing than I do in my speaking."

"When you find what it is you're meant to do, it's so freeing." "I went through depression in 2006 to the point of having a suicidal plan. And I think it's time to share that story and to help people realize how they can move past that." "God is revealing in me that I am still struggling with pride, which is something I never thought I struggled with --- because I'm pretty much transparent and I like to own up to my own mistakes and flaws." "As the book started to unfold, I was like, this is exactly what Grandma represented; seeing the value in things that people throw away, including people." "Ultimately, I feel like I'm the butt tube that she saved." "She saw the worth in everybody, everything. Everything had value." "She had a hospitality like lived in her heart."
