moment or experience in time.

“Cancer statistics can be scary,
but remember that statistics are
like dress sizes…approximate,
variable, and not tailored to the

of hope and wear it well!”

a better person -- stronger and

“Twenty years from now you will
be more disappointed by the
things that you didn’t do than by
the ones you did do. So throw
off the bowlines. Sail away from
the safe harbor. Catch the trade
winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”
