When we learn to focus on love, grace, and gratitude, life is really quite lovely.

I was a very focused and determined woman and I always got what I wanted. But once I had it, there was another future moment when I had to attain something else. These internal yearnings keep happiness in a future moment.

Happiness is a choice I am making now. Once we understand that and find love consciousness, we learn that this place of internal plenitude needs nothing.

By losing my external things, I found myself. I found something very powerful, very permanent, that I could have with me all the time.

Once we do fill the void and experience the expansion in consciousness, we realize there is enough and has always been enough. We've always had exactly what we've needed in every moment.

Often we don't change because we're afraid of what might happen. We cling to what we recognize, even if we are steeped in suffering.

I lost everything. When I was 28 years old, I lost my home, my job, my partner. I had many people die in my life. I felt like a total victim.
