Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough.

When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable, we feel used and mistreated. This is why we sometimes attack who they are, which is far more hurtful than addressing a behavior or a choice.

I believe a joyful life is made up of joyful moments, gracefully strung together by trust, gratitude, inspiration, and faith.

The only unique contribution that we will ever make in this world will be born of our creativity.

'Crazy-busy' is a great armor, it's a great way for numbing. What a lot of us do is that we stay so busy, and so out in front of our life, that the truth of how we're feeling and what we really need can't catch up with us.

Compassion is not a virtue -- it is a commitment. It's not something we have or don't have -- it's something we choose to practice.

I'm just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive.
