TRUTH BOMBS FROM GAMMY NORRIS: "The message to me was that what other people think is more important than how you feel, more important than you." "Turning your will over to the power of God, turning, you know, letting go of all your friends." "But what I realized was that I don't even think I really understood what honesty was, if that makes any sense." "And Rodney and I, we talk about everything and anything, and I had never had that before." "It just got to the point where, you know, one person is growing and the other person is not, and one person is doing the work that they need to do for themselves, and it just doesn't match." “I understand that for women, a lot of women don't feel like or don't know how they're going to make it on their own because they maybe never been on their own before." "I'm gonna figure out what it is. Cause it's little, and I know it's right there, you know? So it's that kind of just persistence and not wanting to give up." "I try to make sure that there is always positivity around me…and your own energy kind of leaves you open to what you're bringing into your life. If you're vibrating up here, then the people around you, the people and the things that come into your life is going to be high energy. But if you're down here in negative land, then that's what you're going to create. That's what you're going to draw to you."
