“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“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?”

“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.”

“Thaddeus was just a normal guy, different from the angels roaming around. He was almost embarrassed to meet the grandeur of God, seeing himself as so small when he first got to Heaven on Orientation Day. Though he felt youthful and looked young, Thaddeus had died in his sleep at ninety years old, awakening in Heaven. He was anxious to be more than what he was on Earth and willing to prove himself now that he felt he’d been given a second chance with God.”

“I reached to feel at the side of his bearded face. It was warmed by life-sustaining blood pumping through his veins, moistened by beads of sweat formed from uncertainties. I had my love alive in front of me. How desperately I wanted to order him to stay behind, to guard the camp and keep clear of harm’s way. But remaining here amounted to hiding, which would torture the hero he was. Kresh never turned aside from danger. He was no coward. He would ignore my order and fight beside his fellow warriors—a right I could not deny him. Come whatever magic and chaos may, he would stand his ground. I needed him to survive it. Otherwise, our years of struggle and sacrifice would come to nothing. To have the Tarishe curse ended at long last and yet lose him in the process… I could imagine no more agonizing curse than that.”

“Their leader looked over at me, his flawless lips in an even line, his nose chiseled to a point like an arrow aimed my way. Raven waves fell away from big eyes exhibiting more alertness in their stare than any animal or human naturally possessed. Despite how defenseless I knew myself to be, I refused to show him fear. Jovani turned back to the four members from his clan. “I won’t need backup, Percival, I have a priceless bargaining chip.” From the way the others eyed my form, I understood it was me he considered his negotiating leverage. I felt somewhat confident that meant I was more valuable alive. “This stinks,” one of the lady vampires complained. “No, Concetta, that’s just the dog.” A perky nose sniffed in my direction as they shared a trill of amusement at my expense. All but Jovani.”
