The greatest gift you and your partner can give your children is the example of an intimate, healthy, and loving relationship.

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.

That experience showed me that I-from moment to moment-am the only person in control of my connection to God. It's not that God is deciding to connect with me, depending on whether I had a good day, or did good or bad deeds. It's all up to me. God, the awareness of God, the love of God, the blessings of God-that lively ecstasy-is always there. It's me who separates from God by judging, by indulging in negativity, by criticizing myself, as well as others.

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.

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

It takes a lot of courage to be the same person on the outside that you are on the inside.

Silence has a regenerative power of its own. It is always sacred. It always returns you home.
