The world needs women to redefine what it means to be a person of power

Fear is a sneaky thief, stealing away precious moments of your life.

I'm deeply disturbed by the ways in which all of our cultures are demonizing the other. This is why I'm launching a new initiative, and it's to help all of us, myself included, to counteract the tendency to otherize.

I pull from a place within me that has ultimate faith in the meaningfulness and beauty of human life.

If you have fathered a child, if you have given birth, if sex is a source of healthy pleasure, thank your pelvis and your reproductive organs for allowing you to feel the creative rhythms of life.

There's something in our makeup and in our bodies that really wants to luxuriate more in just the joy of being alive and not always consuming, creating, building. There's something inside of us that wants desperately to stop and experience and just be - not just always do.

When women hear each other's stories, told from the heart, it gives us inspiration to keep on going.
