I try not to set myself up as different or as a celebrity or special. I have a husband that can get on my nerves. I have kids that test my patience. I've got a cat I can't keep off the sofa. It's real. On a bad day, I'm reading 'Acts of Faith.'.

The beloved is one who nurtures you, trusts you, supports you, encourages you, loves you without conditions. That's you.

If you're not willing to let your partner see your cellulite or know your biggest fears, then you aren't really ready to share yourself.

You have to meet people where they are, and sometimes you have to leave them there.

Everything is just as it needs to be. And if we would forgive, our minds and hearts would open and we could see another possibility.

You must be willing to examine and explore your dark side. You must acknowledge how bad you can be and how horribly unloving you can behave. When you know how deep and dark your dark side is, it helps you stand a little taller in the light.

When you refuse to pay attention to what life is saying to you, life will make its point very clear. Life wants us to be aware of ourselves so we can make the necessary adjustments in order to live more harmoniously.
