You should base everything on what you see with your own eyes, hear with your own ears and feel with your own heart. Period. Always believe what you KNOW about a person, not what you HEAR.

When the power of LOVE is more important than the love of money, religion and power, and people realize that the most important things in this life are NOT things,the world will finally know peace.

Your opinion should be based on what you see with your own eyes, hear with your own ears & feel with your own heart.

AWESOME things come to those who focus on the positive, recognize the blessings, find the humor and never give up!

Hope for the best,brace yourself for the worst and no matter what you’re faced with, make a plan to KEEP GOING!

You can't NOT cross the street because you might get hit by a car.

If you change your way of thinking about failure, you can transform your weaknesses into strengths & realize opportunities for growth.

INTEGRITY...Choosing your thoughts, words and actions based on what’s right rather than what’s in it for you.

Want LESS! Need LESS! Live MORE!

Sometimes the MOM who's always there for everyone else, needs someone to be there for HER.

Growing up is the dumbest thing I ever wanted to rush into.

I'm quite certain that if I lost my sense of humor, it would most definitely need to be replaced by a padded cell.

No REGRETS. Just LESSONS learned, BLESSINGS recognized and HUMOR found.

Those who think they know it ALL don't know what they are missing!

The things you should value most in this life are NOT things.

If there ever comes a time that you forget where you came from, you've gone too far.

Sweetie, you don't need to drive me to the brink of insanity... I'm close enough to walk!

The happiest people are the ones who can build a firm foundation of awesomeness out of the stones people have thrown at them.

A wise man once said NOTHING... He just let her vent, nodded his head and live happily ever after!

A domesticated man makes my lady parts beep!

A beautiful face will age and a perfect body will change, but an awesome person will always be an awesome person.

Marry the person who gives you the same feeling you get when you take the very first sip of COFFEE in the morning!

If one door closes and another door opens, chances are your house is haunted.

If you change your way of thinking and being, you will change your way of seeing.

PARENTHOOD is journey of being driven to the BRINK of INSANITY and BACK...Like a YO YO!!

Raising a child is a time of RAPID CHANGE! From the ages of 0 to 19, a PARENT can age over 30 years!

Your attitude defines your personality. Your personality refines your attitude. Together they make up your character.

I don’t need a personal trainer… I need someone to stalk me and threaten to kick my ass when I eat and drink stuff I’m not supposed to!

Behind every successful woman are people who bring out the best in her, encourage her and cheer her on!

Sometimes LIFE is rough and tough. That's still NO excuse for you to be.

Gratitude makes you a better, stronger, wiser person. Ingratitude makes you a negative, angry, miserable person. Which person do you choose to be?

Two things define you, your attitude when you are at your worst and your attitude when you are at your best.

Do not, for one more minute, spend your precious time and energy on or surround yourself with people who are less than you deserve.

I don’t care who you love, what you believe, how you look, where you’re from or what you do. If you are a good hearted person, you’re good in my books!

My bed is the magical place I love to overthink like a PSYCHO.

My bed is the magical place where I love to overthink like a PSYCHO.

Motherhood is a constant battle of wanting to go to bed early so you can catch up on sleep and wanting to stay awake so you can enjoy some peace and sanity!

When you open your mind, you let happiness in.

MOM - noun - One who sacrifices her body, sleep, social life, spending money, eating hot meals, peeing alone, patience, memory, energy and sanity for LOVE!

I’m a MAMA! I’ve got REACTIONS & REFLEXES faster than any speeding bullet! HUGS & KISSES more POWERFUL than any drug! EYES in the back of my head! The amazing ABILITY to find stuff out to protect what I LOVE!And the STRENGTH to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders to keep my children safe from harm!

Sometimes my age is inappropriate for my behavior.

LIFE is what YOU make it. Make sure it's AWESOME.

People who have NO ambition to make a difference in this life should not interrupt the people who DO.

Do not, for one second, allow people with closed minds and no ambition to make a difference in this life silence you or stop you from going above and beyond.

If you forget where you came from, you've gone too far.

I’d rather be surround by people who make mistakes and have no problem admitting to them and learning from them than be surrounded by people who think they make none.

I don’t care who you love, what you believe, how you look, where you’re from or what you do.If you are a good hearted person, you’re good in my books!

If your words, actions and intentions are not genuine, I have no use for you or room for you in my life.

If you can HELP someone, DO IT! The world NEEDS more of THAT!

The only true disability is the inability to accept and respect differences.

Two things define you in this life. Your attitude when you are at your highest and your attitude when you are at your lowest. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom in order to recognize and define what truly matters.

Sometimes life gives you a little punch in the stomach... You just gotta catch your breath and keep going.

We are not entitled to ALL of anything, not even ourselves... and rightfully so.

We all have our things that we would rather live without. It's how we live with them when we have no choice that makes us or breaks us.

Want less, need less, live more.

People cannot live forever, but memories can. Never pass up an opportunity to create awesome memories with your special ones.

Taking care of yourself, taking time for yourself & rewarding yourself is NOT selfish. It’s important & absolutely necessary!

If you think someone is AWESOME, tell them! The world NEEDS more of THAT!

What messes us up a lot in this life is setting our expectations way too high and then being ashamed when we fail. What is worse is when we allow other people to make us feel ashamed for failing. What is worse than that is hiding and lying about our failure. It’s ok to fail, especially when it’s a significant life change and you gotta stand up for that right in this life.

Acknowledging awesomeness is powerful, contagious, important and necessary!

Perfection doesn't exist here, AWESOME does.

Do things that count, but don't count the things you do.

Your opinion should always be based on what you have seen with your own eyes, what you have heard with your own ears and what you have felt with your own heart.

You NEED to look back to remember the awesome memories, to remember the positive lessons you have learned, to help someone else learn from what you have lived and to see how far you have come.

Really think about what you want your eulogy to say about you, then live THAT.

Don't compare yourself to other MOMS... We are all just winging it, just some hide it better than others.

Happiness is when you realize that your kids have grown up to be AWESOME people!

I suffer from CLAUSTROPHOBIA, a fear of closed spaces.For example, I’m petrified that the WINE store will be closed before I have time to get there!!!

Even AWESOME MOMS use the F-BOMB!

MOMB - noun - One who can deal with all of the INSANITY of being a MOM... Because she's the BOMB!

MOMBIE - noun - Suffers from forgetfulness, fatigue, exhaustion, moodiness, sleeplessness, confusion and moments of insanity!Has difficulty eating or drinking anything while it’s still hot and peeing alone.

My daughter asked me what it’s like to have children… So I followed her to the washroom every time she went and asked her questions through the door until she lost her S#!T…

Motherhood is a constant battle of going to bed early so you can catch up on sleep and staying awake so you can enjoy some peace and sanity!

These days, “getting lucky” means drinking an entire cup of COFFEE while it’s still HOT!

Sometimes being a MOM is like a good ol’ country song! You lose your sleep, you lose your hair, you lose your patience, you lose your energy, you lose your memory AND you lose your SANITY! But you DO IT all for LOVE!

It's tough being AWESOME all the time, but the kids need someone to look up to!

Don't ever let anyone bring you down, define who you are or destroy your AWESOMENESS.

Stay HIGH on AWESOMENESS so reality cannot destroy you!

Common sense is a tool that isn't in everyone's shed.

I’d like to THANK whoever saw a bunch of cherries and thought....HEY!! If I dry out a bunch of those berry seeds, call them “BEANS”, smash them and add hot water, it will be AWESOME!

I’d like to THANK the genius who saw a bunch of cherries and thought....HEY!! If I dry out a bunch of those berry seeds, call them “BEANS”, smash them and add hot water, it will be AWESOME!!!!

We don't lose our loved ones when they die. We gain guardian angels. - Tanya Masse aka Comic Strip Mama

Life isn't always easy. I struggle day to day. But I choose to live life to the fullest and keep reminding myself that I am stronger than ANYTHING that stands in my way.

Laughter IS the BEST medicine! It’s FREE! You can overdose on it! It helps you embrace the insanities of life! It reduces stress, heals your body and relieves pain! It fights disease and cancer and strengthens the immune system! It eases your mind, it protects your heart and soothes your soul!

When you focus on the positive, the blessings and the humor and just do your thing and you stop worrying SO much about what every one else is thinking and doing and STOP taking life way too seriously... Awesomeness happens!

I take great comfort in believing that life doesn't end, it just changes. Our bodies are pure energy. Energy doesn't die, it transforms. I believe that when we die, we simply change from our human form to our spiritual form and we continue to love, guide and protect the ones we love on earth, as much as our energy will allow. It is the only logical explanation that makes perfect sense. - Tanya Masse aka Comic Strip Mama

LIFE never really ends... It just changes. You never lose your loved ones, you gain guardian angels.

Hate destroys EVERYTHING except itself. Everything. Including you.

If there is ONE THING that you do today, let it be this...Don't take life WAY too seriously.

If you judge a person that you don't even know by the tattoos they have, the piercings they have, the way they dress or by how they look to you in general, YOU are the one with the issue, not them. Stop the hate. Live and let live.

You know it’s the 21st Century when someone TEXTS you from the washroom to ask you to bring them a roll of toilet paper.

Water IS the most important element on the face of the earth, because without water, there would be no WINE and without WINE I would be living in a PADDED CELL!

If you have something genuine to say to another person that would make them feel super awesome about themselves and make their day... SAY IT! The world needs more of that! But no fake BS... the world doesn't need more of that. No.

Focus on the POSITIVERecognize the BLESSINGSFind the HUMORHope for the BEST&Brace yourself for the worst.

OVERREACTING" sounds like "OVARYACTING" Coincidence? I think NOT!!

How is it that food STILL contains calories that make you gain weight in the 21st CENTURY?! It’s like scientists aren’t even trying!

Eliminate all unnecessary negativity from your life and watch it change for the better.

Love and laughter are stronger than cancer.

Where there is evil, brutality and hatred, there is overwhelming courage, strength and kindness. Focus on the good.Stay positive.Stay together.Stay peaceful.Stay strong.

We are often so worried about what is going to happen that we can't enjoy what is happening NOW.

You have two choices... You can make the BEST of IT or you can let IT get the BEST of you!

You can’t take anything in life WAY too seriously...Even the serious stuff!

The "I love you"s are exchanged excessively under our roof. Cancer teaches you how important and critical that is.

I love you"s are exhanged excessively under our roof. Cancer teaches you how important and critical that is.

This LIFE is NOT about a BIG house, VALUABLE things, a FULL bank account or a POWERFUL status. It’s about having a BIG open mind and heart that respects and accepts differences. It’s about VALUING your family, friends & being grateful for the little things.It’s about FILLING your heart and soul full of love and laughter, making the best of each day while you can. It’s about having the POWER to have a positive attitude and show kindness even when you’re dealing with your own adversity. THAT’S what this LIFE is all about!

Positive lessons learned... Blessings recognized... Humor found... No regrets.

Don't waste any of your precious time or energy on negativity. There's no time for that nonsense.

Always remember that the most important things in this life are not things. Stay safe, stay strong and stay together.

Too many of us spend too much time worrying about how long we are going to live rather than focusing on how we live. People cannot live forever, but memories can. Remember that with every breath and your life will change.

If you let it bother you, it will bother you.

You can make the best of it or you can let it get the best of you. Those are your two choices.

It's ok to think the way you think, just as long as you respect that it's not the only way.

They are not grey roots! This is my new fifty shades of grey OMBRE hairstyle!

It’s certainly TOUGH being AWESOME all the time, but I do it so the kids have someone to look up to!

Acknowledge and voice the positives LOUDER than the negatives.

Love and laughter are two of the most important universal cancer treatments on the planet. Overdose on them.

Cancer is WAY too serious to be taken seriously all the time.

Just because someone has cancer, it doesn't mean you stop laughing at them or making fun of them.

Stay positive, stay strong, stay together and just keep going!
