I've often thought that a marriage is like a covered wagon, full of the stuff of life. The man and the woman are the two workhorses who pull it. Eventually, it gets heavy. There are children in the wagon, a home that needs to be maintained, feelings that need to be protected and nurtured when life throws curveballs. It works when both partners pull together, but the journey can't continue for long if one partner unbuckles the straps and decides to ride in the wagon, because it's easier, and because he knows his partner will keep pulling no matter what. - Quote from These Tangled Vines book by Julianne MacLean

I want to be a good mother - the kind of woman who's not a doormat and can't be bought. I want my kids to know what it means for a woman to be strong and independent. I just hope I can figure out how to be that kind of woman. - Quote from These Tangled Vines book by Julianne MacLean
What good could come from grappling forever with "could have beens"? Every life was full of "could have beens." The best we could do was make the most of what was and what had been. - Quote from These Tangled Vines book by Julianne MacLean
