All real change requires risk. You must take risks every day of your life. You must get up each morning and ask...: What can I do that is different?

If we want a new future that does not look like our past, we must make new choices in the present.

We each need to become our own hero.

We are all stronger than we can ever imagine being. Every choice matters starting with today. And today, I choose to live.

Standing in our power requires us to let go of the need to make others like us & instead stand committed to honoring ourselves.

The unmet need that can get met right now is the need to be whole, to be both your magnificent, divine self and your imperfect, human self.

Like the lotus flower that is born out of mud, we must honor the darkest parts of ourselves and the most painful of our life’s experiences, because they are what allow us to birth our most beautiful self.
