“There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, 'Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams.' Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box.

Number one: Adichie!'.”

“There are people who say, "God is in complete control of everything that happens, and if the Earth is getting warmer, then maybe God intends that." Well, no. God intends for us to take responsibility for how we treat God's creation, and if we choose to use the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet as an open sewer for 110-million tons of global-warming pollution every day, the consequences are attributable to us. And if you are a believer, as I am, I think God intends for us to open our eyes and take responsibility for the moral consequences of our actions.”

When we make the sign of the cross, we are simply making a statement of faith. I believe in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and I believe in the sign of the cross, because that is the sign of our salvation!”

We laughed a lot.”

You know the type - the ones who show up with irrelevant drama when you're trying to rebuild your peace, or who invent emergencies that somehow always revolve around them. They aim to scatter your focus and drain your energy, pulling you into a storm you never signed up for.
These people? They’re no good for us. And it’s okay to say it out loud. Protecting your peace doesn’t make you selfish - it makes you intentional. Let them carry their chaos elsewhere. Your calm is your sanctuary - defend it like your life depends on it, because in many ways, it does.”
