- I don't make mistakes, just experiences.
- When you have the desire to succeed, even if you are scared to death that you will fail, you have to try. Fear subsides, You can always try again, or try something else. But if you pass the opportunity it's gone. I would rather screw up and laugh at myself than sit around wondering what would have happened.
- About "Katrina" - "Imagine waking up one day and everything you knew was gone, destroyed. People you said hello to everyday were missing. Not only close friends, neighbors or colleagues, but what about the ones you didn't know well enough to have contact numbers or know exactly where they lived, such as teachers, postman, clerk at your coffee shop, Your children's daycare workers, the children your kids played with at the park. You would pray they were safe, and for months you wondered, and you just kept wondering."
- It really upsets me, this story, about the "Jena Six." I was born in that town and much of my family still lives there. One thing that saddens me is that "Jena" is being labeled as some racist southern town. Which is not true. There are so many really good people living in that town. There are more inter-racial couples and families there than in most places in this country. My son "Nick" is bi-racial. His father is also from Jena. It saddens me that so many people want to jump on this story, run it into the ground, and believe that all the, derogatory, statements are true. Some people will never wake up, and many prefer not to. I guess it's easier to believe the negative, and harder for some people to believe, and search for the positive. What a shame.
