Quotes:
‘Change is scary, and it can be scarier when it's your life partner sitting in front of you, telling you that they want to make a big change. One of my favorite phrases is…
”Go ahead and grow. If I have to get to know you again, I will.”
And I want that freedom given to me in my life.
So I do my best to give that freedom to other people in theirs.’
- Nichole McCollum
