Words to live by: "I try to live by one powerful word 'grace'. Grace reminds us to be thankful for the gifts in our lives, and to be mindful of those without. When I am in a political debate, for example, I quietly repeat the word "grace" in my mind. It reminds me to be respectful of the perspectives of others.
