"My parents always taught me to treat everybody the same. Never have animosity against anybody. Forgive everybody for what they’ve done and continue to do the things that you know are right. I’m 50 years old and that teaching has been with me for a lifetime. When I have an urge toward negativity, I ask God to forgive me. I’ve learned that sometimes things don’t happen like you want them to happen, but you continue to be the person that you are. Don’t let negative people change you."
