If we believe that the universe is unfriendly and that our very souls are in danger, peace will be elusive at best.

Everyday brings a choice: to practice stress or to practice peace.

Throughout the life cycle we consciously and unconsciously edit the events of our life, trying to give them meaning.

To nourish the soul means to become kinder, more compassionate, wiser, and more loving, often through the making of difficult choices that foster growth rather than safety. The nourishment and growth of the soul is the very reason for human life.

Learning to be aware of feelings, how they arise and how to use them creatively so they guide us to happiness, is an essential lifetime skill.

Busy is an opportunity, not a dirty word.

The question is not whether we will barbecue, but how we will barbecue.
