Memorable Quotes
“I think that is super important also, is we want to live in gratitude because that’s really what the holiday is about, is being grateful.” – Betty Murray
“Own your no means using no. No is a one-word sentence. You don’t need to clarify it in any way. Right? So, if you get roped into making cookies for the PTA or roped into being the host of the holiday party for the entire street and you didn’t want to do it, it’s on you to say no. Right? It’s not the other people’s fault because the thing is, we get mad.” – Betty Murray
