The world is extremely interesting to a joyful soul.

Living well is a courageous act.

Don't try to prove anything about yourself to anyone. It isn't necessary. Your worth shines through to others- know your worth.

Our painful experiences strengthen us in becoming more empathetic, more caring, and deeper human beings. We grow in depth of understanding, with greater appreciation for the miracle of life.

The choices that make a significant difference in our lives are the tough ones. They're not often fun or easy, but they're the ones we have to make, and each is a deliberate step toward better understanding who we really are.

The difference between living and half living is seeing well, looking for associations between things, seeking the connections, being aware of scale and proportion.

Puttering is really a time to be alone, to dream, to get in touch with yourself...To putter is to discover.
