In appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something truly sacred.

I don't want to eat anything that has a mother

My hope for all of us is that 'the miles we go before we sleep' will be filled with all the feelings that come from deep caring--delight , sadness, joy, wisdom--and that in all the endings of our life, we will be able to see the new beginnings.

When our children see us expressing our emotions, they can learn that their own feelings are natural and permissible, can be expressed, and can be talked about. That's an important thing for our children to learn.

It always helps to have people we love beside us when we have to do difficult things in life.

The older I get, the more convinced I am that the space between people who are trying their best to understand each other is hallowed ground.

You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.
