The purpose of healing is to live while you are alive instead of dying while you are alive. Healing is about being broken and whole at the same time.

We are strong where we were broken.

For every diet there's an equal and opposite binge (bulimia which is binging and purging is another way of depriving yourself).

Healing is about being awake. Being broken and whole at the same time.

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.

You will stop turning to food when you start understanding in your body, not just your mind, that there is something better...Truth, not force, does the work of ending compulsive eating.

Weight loss does not make people happy. Or peaceful. Being thin does not address the emptiness that has no shape or weight or name. Even a wildly successful diet is a colossal failure because inside the new body is the same sinking heart.
