My message is "Getting older is inevitable. Aging and deterioration are optional."

Celebrate every relationship you've ever had. For better or worse, your relationships are your best teachers.

Imagine what might happen if women emerged from their labor beds with a renewed sense of the strength and power of their bodies, and of their capacity for ecstasy through giving birth

My message is "Getting older is inevitable. Aging and deterioration are optional."

All over the world today, many girls still get the idea that their bodies are somehow not as good as a boy's body. These girls - who later grow up to be women with girls of their own - get the message that they are weaker in spirit, not worth educating, somehow cursed because of their menstrual cycle, and so forth.

Be joyful and experience pleasurable lives.

You don't need to deteriorate with advancing age.
