I do not understand how deeply people seem to like my work - but I love that people feel I have helped them through hardships, and also have shared my experience of living a more spiritual and present life. It's so great to be able to make people laugh, because this is so often how we get our selves back.

Dogs are the closest we come to knowing the divine love of God on this side of eternity.

I would seriously rather be in a long line at the DMV than eat with people I don't know.

I was the angriest daughter on earth, and also, one of the most devoted.

I don’t know why life isn’t constructed to be seamless and safe, why we make such glaring mistakes, things fall so short of our expectations, and our hearts get broken and out kids do scary things and our parents get old and don’t always remember to put pants on before they go out for a stroll. I don’t know why it’s not more like it is in the movies, why things don’t come out neatly and lessons can’t be learned when you’re in the mood for learning them, why love and grace often come in such motley packaging.

Rule 1: When all else fails, follow instructions. And Rule 2: Don't be an asshole.

And as it turns out, if one person is praying for you, buckle up. Things can happen.
