“Love makes every space sacred and every moment meaningful . . .”

I have experienced a lifetime of real moments, and many of them were happy moments.

The obstacles in our path are not blocking us-they are redirecting us. Their purpose is not to interfere with our happiness; it is to point us toward new routes to our happiness, new possibilities, new doorways.

Love is the magician of the universe. It creates everything out of nothing.

No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.

Love’s greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches sacred.

What allows us, as human beings, to psychologically survive life on earth, with all of its pain, drama, and challenges, is a sense of purpose and meaning

Men aren’t the way they are because they want to drive women crazy; they’ve been trained to be that way for thousands of years. And that training makes it very difficult for men to be intimate.

There has never been, and never again will be a human being like you. There is nothing ordinary about you. If you feel ordinary, it is because you have chosen to hide the extraordinary parts of yourself from the world.

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It’s a choice you make on your wedding day, and over and over again and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband.

Love and kindness are never wasted.

Silence and solitude are confrontational. They plunge us instantly into the truth.

Happiness is not an acquisition – it is a skill. We do not experience happiness because of what we get. We experience happiness because of how we live each moment.

I invite people to examine their lives without negativity, knowing that it’s scary, but that not doing it is even scarier.

Women need real moments of solitude and self reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.

When will you know you have enough, and what will you do then?

All relationships are your mirrors and all people are your teachers.

Meaningful student involvement is the process of engaging students as partners in every facet of school change for the purpose strengthening their commitment to education, community & democracy.

It is not enough to simply listen to student voice. Educators have an ethical imperative to do something with students, and that is why meaningful student involvement is vital to school improvement.

As our values are the core to who we are as human beings, they are also the easiest way to identify and connect with others in meaningful ways.

A discourse that begins at a book club in a living room, but then spreads. That is meaningful to me.

There is that lovely feeling of one reader telling another, ‘You must read this.’

Life is not meaningful…unle ss it is serving an end beyond itself; unless it is of value to someone else.

Life becomes meaningful and all activities are purposeful only on the basis of faith in the enduring reality.

Some have speculated that the way [Albert] Camus died made his theories on absurdity a self-fulfilling prophecy.
