Quotable Moments

"This podcast is about the day to day we all face, the day to day things in this life that bring us joy, the hardships that build us, and the challenges that define us."

"I'm not an expert. I'm not a thought leader - and I am not trying to be one. The reality is - so many of us have a variety of interests, and I find they are way more connected than we think."

"You do you, I'll do me and my life - let's keep the peace and be free together."

"Remember, you're not alone, I'm praying for you, and today is just the beginning."
