Torri’s quote for this year is: “You've survived what you thought would kill you. Now straighten your crown and move forward like the queen you are.”

Her (longer) quote/daily reminder: “So, do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More compassionate? Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out and decide.” - Meredith Grey
