Quotes and statements within the interview:
My norm was I never knew of having a father in the house. I was the oldest of 3 girls. My mother had a difficult life and took it out on us. It became abusive, sometimes verbally, sometimes physically. It was a difficult upbringing.
I met my husband at 17 years old. We decided not to have a home like we both had. We wanted a closer relationship, a good relationship. So we drew a line in the sand.
I didn’t become a Christian until I met my husband.
Proverbs 14:30 “A heart at peace gives life to the body.”
“Play should not be regulated just to children.”
“If it’s important to you, it’s important to me!”
“We can wake up tomorrow morning and become who we want to be.”
“It’s never to late for a new beginning.” ~ Dan Miller
What has your story gifted you?
“My desire to keep growing, to keep changing. Don’t become stagnant. Just because you’ve always done it; that doesn’t mean it can’t change.”
“You learn the rules so you can break them and it works.” (An art principle applied to life.)
