I'm not sure where I heard it or why I believed it but when I was in my mid-twenties, a few words changed my approach to and experience of prayer. The words were these: 'Every thought you think is a prayer. Every word you speak is a prayer. Every act in which you engage is a prayer, because the Spirit of God lives in you.' Now, how awesome is that?

Sometimes you have to lose everything in order to gain yourself.

Embrace the truth. Speak the truth. Be the truth. When we welcome the truth, we live our lives like it's golden.

We cannot outperform our level of self-esteem.

Forgive yourself for believing things about yourself that are not true. Forgive yourself for believing that you were anything other than a child of God. Then, after forgiving yourself for believing the things you were told, forgive the people who told you. Forgive them not for what they said or did. Forgive them because they did not know any better.

I have a body, but I am not my body. I have a face, but I am not my face.

I'm focusing on healing lives and teaching people that they can heal - giving them tools to heal.
