The real work of this life is not what we do every day from 9-5...The real work is to be passionate, be holy, be wild, be irreverent, to laugh and cry until you awaken the sleeping spirits, until the ground of your being cleaves and the universe comes flooding in.

It's not life in the present moment that is intolerable; the pain we are avoiding has already happened. We are living in reverse.

Its not so much that we believe what we see, but that we see what we believe

Imagine treating yourself with the kindness that you show people you love.

Compulsive eating is only the symptom; believing that you are not worth your own love is the problem. Go for the love. You will never be sorry.

You are not your past, not your habits, not your compulsions. When you get to know who you are, anything becomes possible.

You are lovable, you are loving; your choices about food will reflect that, if you give yourself a chance.
