The more we stretch the muscle called compassion and generosity, the stronger we get, the better we feel about ourselves, the more loving we become to the world around us.

When I see that my geek may have contained some of the best parts of me, when I love and appreciate him, I set my children free to see themselves as lovable however they are.

Shaking the past, making my break, taking control, that's what it takes.

It's just a favorite language to me, that country finger-picking guitar style.

The Spirit speaks directly to our hearts through music. That's why music has always had such power to move people into positive action.

My trust in a higher power that wants me to survive and have love in my life, is what keeps me moving forward.

I had to get in touch with the source, I had to go back into my abandonment issues with my mother, I had to go into issues with my father I hadn't even looked at before.
