“Soup is a lot like a family. Each ingredient enhances the others; each batch has its own characteristics; and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavor.”

“The informality of family life is a blessed condition that allows us all to become our best while looking our worst.”

“Everyone needs reminders that the fact of their being on this earth is important and that each life changes everything.”

“In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit.”

“Hard though it may be to accept, remember that guilt is sometimes a friendly internal voice reminding you that you're messing up.”
