“When you welcome your emotions as teachers, every emotion brings good news, even the ones that are painful.”

The place to begin the task of eliminating evil is within yourself.

You gain or lose power according to the choices that you make.

An intention is a quality of consciousness that you bring to an action.

When you choose not to forgive, the experience that you do not forgive sticks with you.

Your experiences are not limited to what you have created in the past.

Reverence is simply the experience of accepting that all Life is, in and of itself, of value.

The purpose of soul questions is to open yourself deeper and deeper until all that is left is the power and beauty you are bringing to the lives of others.

Do not insist that the universe comply with your understanding of it.

It is not until you have the courage to engage in human relationships that you grow.

You do not stop losing power by refusing to recognize your fear, by anesthetizing yourself to what you feel. The road to authentic power is always through what you feel through your heart.

What is behind your eyes holds more power than what is in front of them.

No birth is an accident, No experience is without meaning, and no life is without value.

Heartbreak does not have to be a meaningless experience. For many, it is a spiritual catalyst – a pathway to awakening to ones deepest desires for love, purpose and connection.

Even in the smallest whispers, love always echoes back.

Life begins at eighty.

I want a love that as deep as it feels, it breathes just as free.
