“When we seek to understand what makes each of us different before we seek to be understood, we learn. Understanding fosters mutual respect for one another.”

“Understanding” is a word that I cherish. Understanding is what helps us to love before we judge. Understanding helps us to know more of ourselves and do the same to others.”

“Wouldn't the world be a much better place if we didn't make it past the age of maybe 10? Think back to when we were younger, before we were so easily influenced by adults. We rebelled against everything that we now believe is impossible. Super Heroes still existed and we didn't hold grudges because "sorry" was okay and as long as you still wanted to share your toys with me, nothing more needed to be said. Be 10 years old today everyone.”

“Groom yourself and your life like a shrub. Trim off the edges and you'll be stronger in the broken places. Embrace the new growth and blossom at the tips.”

“Tree trunks are composed of layers of growth. Meaningful expressions are composed of layers of words. Say something meaningful.”
