“The Witch immediately grabs Sunshine with her claws. “I occupy this home! This house is under a new regime... it's Beelzebub's territory!” “Guess again,” Hope says, pointing to the girls praying. “We reclaim this house under a new leadership!” “No!! Wait!! No!” The witch screams as Helpers come in to drag her away.”

“If you don't know what to do with your life, you should start right where you're at... right now. Get involved in a local church. Start praying for people around you. Begin reading Scriptures and ask God to show you His purpose for your life. It may seem like a large task to begin, but just look at life as picking up one piece after another until you start to see something brand new.”

“No matter what the world is doing or what your friends find popular or what your family thinks, God wants to be the sole authority who passes along a standard of how we are to live our lives. It is always best to stop and listen to what God has to say. His ways are always perfect and wonderful.”

“I say the only thing on my mind. “I don’t know you but help me to get to know you. Help me to know what you are saying so I can live for a greater purpose and appreciate the things around me and the people I still have in my life.” The truth hits me like a stunning revelation. My eyes become wide as I start to understand who I am talking to. “You’re Jesus Christ, aren’t you?”

“Oh! The lettuce! The lettuce got stuck! Remember the time..." I then stop myself. “Sorry. Another...” “Inside joke between you and Travis?” Martin finishes my sentence. “It seems to me like you are bringing up this Travis guy a lot tonight. Maybe he’s a little more than... just a friend?” “No... no.” I stumble for words.”

“Don’t you remember? It was your first week at the office and I asked what your professional goals were and instead of the generic corporate answer, you said that you would like to be a published Author someday. I knew right then that you were made for something more than just being a Receptionist." - Dr. Brian Alchan”

“Lee stares right at me. "You are Alena the Supermodel to the world, but with me, you are Mrs. Greene and I will take care of you and drive you to where you want to go." I nod and slide into the backseat without a destination, holding on to my clutch bag that only contains some loose change and my phone. Nothing seems to matter at this moment. Right now, I am more interested in who I am with more than where I am going. "Where to, Ma'am?" Lee asks, turning on the ignition. "I don't care. Just drive.”

“Sasha remains silent as she cleans, unaware that as Travis leaves, another man is about to enter the scene. Soft music comes out of nowhere. A faint lullaby; a lively tune of romantic chords. ♫ ♫ "What's your name?" ♫ ♫ Martin sings with a voice so compassionate... so charming. Sasha immediately looks up, and Martin is standing right in front of her, almost in awe of her!”

“My Aunt and Uncle can’t stop me. The other contestants can’t break me. The judges do not decide my fate. ♬ “It won’t always be like this.” ♬ It is a song wrapped in a memory. A memory wrapped in a song. And it is all mine. No matter the outcome. No matter the prize. This moment is all mine, and no one can take that away from me. ♬ “But the beauty is here to stay.” ♬ The piano notes had already stopped as I sing out my last line. Like it was just me, vulnerable and real, as I leave it all on that stage.”

“And what is your name going to be?" Ms. Isle asks me as we are ending our session. "You need to think of a stage name. Something that will set you apart. A name that will cause the judges to sit up and think, now she is someone special!" I shrug. “I don’t want to be anyone else. I’m just Brooke.” “Be aware, everyone else is coming up with a stage name. That’s part of picking out your brand. Just Brooke isn’t going to get any attention.” “Maybe not," I agree. "But my singing will!”

“A small thought crosses my mind… Why am I putting myself through this again? But I shove that thought away! In fact, I completely turn off my inner critic. Tonight is my night and there is no room for self-doubt! I can’t allow fame to affect me. I won’t let the spotlight burn me. I just need to go out there and stay in the zone of my passion.”

“Chase turns to me, his deep blue eyes drawing me in. “I am using this time to announce that Kay and I are running away together!” Chase embraces me as I jump into his arms. “There is no one better than Kay Vity. She is the only girl for me!” Chase carries me out of the break room as Veronica shatters cookies in her fist in anger. The sound of light clapping awakens me back to reality.”

“Let me tell you about my favorite day of the month, properly dubbed my A.D.I.B. (stands for All Day In Bed). On that designated day, I will buy candy, chocolates and order any fast food meal of my choosing. I will then spend the rest of my A.D.I.B. in my pajamas on the couch, watching a movie marathon. I’ll watch the corniest chick flicks, the most romantic of dramas, and the cheesiest comedies. I will also pour myself a relaxing hot bubble bath with aromatherapy beads while reading a magazine. That entire day, I am off the grid and completely unplugged!”

“I thought about my very first paying gig at Earnest Way and how nervous I was then and how I’m still afraid now...but for so many different reasons. I think in the beginning, I was afraid of failing. Now, I’m scared of the critics being right about me... I realize then... I need to stop running, quit being afraid and just surrender to my passion.”

“I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.” Jennifer states out loud, a large Bible opened in front of her. She turns the page and speaks again. “Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let God know your concerns.” I can’t listen to this! When did she start reading this book? Why is she smiling? What is this power these words have on her?”

“♫♫ “I have always believed in you. I have seen you grow. And you young lady are a star!” ♫♫ Mike starts singing with a reassuring tone. Sasha stops him and speaks gently. “No. Not me!” He continues his song as the music trails behind him. ♫♫ “If there’s anyone I know, who has the charm, who has the glow …it’s you!” ♫♫”

“I pray that you will live and conduct yourself in a way that pleases the Lord, and that you will desire to make Him smile in everything that you do. I pray that when life gets too tough, you will always choose to get closer to God, and exercise endurance and patience with joy.”

“I have everything I want. The fame. The stardom. I’ve reached success others can only fantasize about. I see my name and face on beauty products. It’s a dream! The spotlight, I mean. I’m afraid this marriage is falling apart and hasn’t been working for years. I suspect all the women he’s been with. Too many to name. But if I bring it up, he gets mad and even denies it. And if I leave now…I could lose everything I’ve worked for. He made my fortune. He can take it away. For now, I will just pose and smile. But I hate to admit, something is still missing.”

“You’re here, aren’t you?” I ask, speaking into the soft wind. “I am always here,” a deep thunderous voice responds back. I acknowledge his presence. “Why are you here?” “You know better than to let your mind wander. Don’t let your thoughts take you to a dark place. There is no reason to look back.” The voice drifts through the wind.”

“It’s hard to not feel a smidge of jealousy, especially when I am waiting for a similar blessing to break through in my own life and it seems God is answering other people’s prayers and not mine. But I can’t just sit on the sidelines and grumble about it! I need to have a trusting spirit towards God and know that if he can work a miracle for that person, he can certainly bless me! And when I rejoice over someone’s good news, I know that my friend will be there to celebrate with me when the time comes!”

“Did you write those books because you truly believed in the message?” I inquire. “Or because that particular topic happens to be a popular one and you merely just wanted to sell books?" "I don't understand the question! But I will say... people loved my catchphrase: Strength with a Smile!" Alicia flashes a cheesy grin and twirls her long brown hair.”
