“Let’s forgive the past and who we were then. Let’s embrace the present and who we’re capable of becoming. Let’s surrender the future and watch miracles unfold.”

Don’t be concerned that things appear to be falling apart: this has to happen in order for something new and wonderful to emerge.

Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and ablities were used in a way that served others.

Sometimes when we don’t know the answer, it’s time to simply be with the question.

Think of everything you’ve ever experienced that was painful; that’s the meaning of Good Friday. Think of all the ways that love ultimately healed your heart; that’s the meaning of Easter.

With every thought we think, we either summon or block a miracle. It is not our circumstances, then, but rather our thoughts about our circumstances, that determine our power to transform them.

Love and fear represent two different lenses through which to view the world. Which I choose to use will determine what I think I see.

On any given day, in any given moment, something could happen that opens up for you an entirely new path. Be still, be alert, be ready.

No one is any more or any less important than you are.

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth.

To be a princess is to play at life. To be a queen is to be a serious player.The purpose of life as a woman is to ascend to the throne and rule with heart.

Our problem is not that we don’t have power, so much as that we tend to not use the power we have.

Bless more; blame less.

Imagine the most outrageously positive possibility for your life, claim it, and consider it done.

In each of us, there lies a divine connection to a power more powerful than hate or violence. Today is the day to attune to that power and use it on behalf of peace on earth.

If we never take a risk, we’ll never know the parts of ourselves that would have emerged if we had.

A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now but forgive yourself.

Where there is injury let me sow pardon.

Forgiveness is commendable, but apply not ointment to the wound of an oppressor.

I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded; not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night.

Oh God, I say not hear my prayers! I say: Blot with forgiving pen my sins away!

Oh God, I say not hear my prayers! I say: Blot with forgiving pen my sins away!

Oh God, I say not hear my prayers! I say: Blot with forgiving pen my sins away!

Oh Thou, who Man of baser Earth didst make, And ev’n with Paradise devise the snake; For all the Sin wherewith the Face of Man Is blackened – Man’s forgiveness give and take!
