I'm not naive. I know how hard it is to get along.

I believe that educating people to awaken into full consciousness is the most important thing we can do.

I'm very committed to my family and my town. My biggest local commitment are my children, my husband, my home and my grandchildren.

We have little control over the outer weather patterns as we make our way through the landscape of a life. But we can become masters of the inner landscape. We can use what happens on the outside to change the way we function on the inside.

If I pull from places of faith, joy and gratitude, then I have the wind of creativity behind me. And, my work in the world is much more effective.

My years as a mystic have made me question almost all my assumptions. They've made me a proud I-don't-know-it-all.

One does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living.
