1 " History is so comprehensive and detailed. I couldn't be a history student. I thought there was a time when I couldn't be a history maker, because of my limited understanding of what that meant. Today, thinking about the passing of Julian Bond and a wonderful conversation with a woman who has influenced so much, I think we all are history makers. All of our names will not be as known as Mr. Bond's or in books, but our names will be on someone's tongue and our memories will be in someone's heart, and we will all be a part of someone's personal story. We have a unique opportunity at this very second to change how we affect someone's life as living history and historians. Flaws and all. Yep. "

2 " Made a decision. I will never let a sunny day happen without me again. Darkness is almost always guaranteed unless some strange thing happens. But the sun...?! Go get some. "
3 " You're the loveliest you'll ever be...until tomorrow and then you will be even lovelier. "
4 " I couldn't imagine my life without getting to know God. He knows me, He created me. He should be known. "
5 " I think writing is like ministry. You get this call and you run before accepting it. If you run right to it, there's a good chance you were not called. "
6 " The best way to avoid being confused about Bruce Jenner is get your head out of his bedroom and closet, and then think about all of the things you've been hiding and been miserable about. So what he made his announcement via media. Books, music, movies, business launches are announced in the same manner. Just focus on the feeling of finally disclosing something that enables you to be free and to live as authentically as possible. And then imagine what it's like to own your truth, tell it your way, thus taking away anyone else's ability to spin it their way or use it against you. If you can do any of the above, you will no longer be confused. "
7 " You can live doing what you love or die having done nothing at all. "
8 " We all have a choir to preach to; people who will receive and believe immediately, and people who will spread the word. However, those of us who are messengers want to reach those in need of a change of heart and mind. We need the choir to grow. "
9 " You never know how many details we neglect until we read another's remembrance. "
10 " Food is heritage. Food is economy. Food is culture. It makes no sense for a major city in the U.S. not to have someone documenting a city's foodways story, especially cities with major research universities. It ain't bougie or boring, it's protecting the truth. "
