My mother found a way out of a little one-bedroom apartment in Athens, Greece to bring Arianna to Cambridge to study economics and bring me to the Royal Academy in London with very few financial resources and no connections. She didn't know anybody in England, but she found a way. Her love for her daughters and seeing what they could be, motivated her and gave her the chutzpah, the courage, to break down barriers. When you have the motivation of love, you will find the way.

We start to feel not good enough and we withdraw our hearts energy and sensor our authentic expression, and that hurts!

The world can only seem a safe place when we feel safe inside.

Unbinding the Heart means to really look at the areas in our lives where we withhold our own love from our self and others.

One of the most powerful sayings I have come across is by Imam ash-Shafi'I, "My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me."

When I'm in a state of goodness about the world, no matter what is happening, I see that goodness. But if I'm in an irritable, angry, separate state, I've shut down.

There is a spirit, an energy, that works with us. We've all felt it at some point in our lives.
