Quotes:
"I have to face up to my own life rather than hiding in somebody else's and expressing myself through somebody else." Nicole Kidman, Marie Claire 2007 (FB 2012)

~KM (aka CL/Lil Sis)
Mine--
"It's hard to start over when you don't know where you belong in the first place..."
"Life has made me what I am, but God will make me who I'm meant to be."
"Monetarily, I'm as broke as the stick life beat me with... otherwise I'm still standing."
"Hope is the moment when you finally realize you can break free and become so much more than what you thought you were limited to be... the moment when you stopped defining yourself as a victim, but as a survivor, a fighter... a winner."
"You can't live backwards. No one can go back to change the past, so live for today and concentrate on making tomorrow better than yesterday."
"A life without love is like a heart without a beat, lungs without air, a spirit without hope, and a soul without faith; it isn't a life at all."
One positive thing about Psoriasis... when you're fan-flaking-tastic (like me) every Christmas is a white Christmas.
"I'm just me, just who I am, One part poet, one part ham!"
"I am a Windspirit... I am a Fantasy Writer... irThumper."
The Good Book--
"My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth." [The original version (God's) of "Actions speak louder than words"]
~1 John 3:18 (NKJV)
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." [Words to LIVE by!]
~John 3:16 NKJV
