It can be so terrifying to open yourself up to true love. That love can be with your mate, with your child, with yourself, because we are ultimately such vulnerable little creatures in this world.

Awareness is the key to everything. I think it's important to be aware of how you feel. How do you feel after you exercise? How do you feel after you eat something? I try to be mindful of the food I'm putting in my body, the products I use, and what I put in or on my body.

Really anything can happen at any time and we are very addicted to comfort. Life is just not always comfortable.

Even in the most grieving of losses, or whatever sort of pain you're sitting in, we can bear it.

Real life is crazier than fiction.

Part of my journey is sort of learning the ways that I'm unconsciously blocked and trying to open them up. I'm a complete "work in progress" in that area.

It's always fun to get to do things that stretch you and that you don't get to do a lot, but you never know until you see it.
