“In our society, crazy is one of the most widely used words in our language. According to the dictionary, its formal (literal) meanings are: mentally deranged, demented, insane, senseless, impractical, and totally unsound, or not in touch with reality. The informal use of the word crazy is described as intensely enthusiastic, passionately excited. We are ‘crazy about baseball’. We ‘run like crazy’. We are ‘crazy in love’. We get ‘stir crazy’, how about…’boy/girl crazy’? So, are we all deranged? No! Are we all a tad bit crazy? I sure hope so. Life would be very boring and uneventful if we weren’t passionate about life, and all that comes with it.”

“It took me many years to understand that doing our best is all that any of us can do. This understanding helped me unlock a hidden secret, one that is so obvious that most people miss the power and importance of it. We are allowed to have our pity parties, to be angry, hurt, sad, and frustrated as long as we are doing our best to understand and resolve these feelings without hurting others in the process. What is the hidden secret that I discovered? It is to live without fear and to love without limit.”
