I think Julia is defining a new feminism. It's the power of the open heart. And its ok to be sexual.

Courage is always rewarded.

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.

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

To feel is to communicate with your Spirit-with God. Feeling is God's mirror; intuition is God's telephone. To seek your truth is to deepen your connection to Spirit.

Whatever I have not yet learned to tolerate in myself inevitably will appear in my children. In this way, they, like Julia, guide me to a new level of self-awareness and everyone benefits.
