I have always liked working "upstream" long before health problems hit the body.

You don't need to deteriorate with advancing age.

No matter what you’re feeling, the only way to get a difficult feeling to go away is simply to love yourself for it. If you think you’re stupid, then love yourself for feeling that way. It’s a paradox, but it works. To heal, you must be the first one to shine the light of compassion on any areas within you that you feel are unacceptable.

We have each chosen the circumstances of our births in order to carry out our soul's purposes. And these purposes can't always be known to our intellects. Nothing happens randomly. And at the same time, we have the ability to become far more powerful and happy and healthy than we ever dreamed possible. At any age.

Mindfulness is the key to everything, and this is especially true when one approaches the cultural portal known as "middle age." This is when people mindlessly believe that it's normal to get diseases and start to fall apart. But the truth is that midlife is the time when people need to wake up and be far more mindful about their everyday habits and thinking patterns.

I want women and girls everywhere to know - deep in their bone marrow - that girls are born special, whole, and perfect, and nothing can alter that.
