Children are one of the greatest lessons in happiness, constantly challenging us to enjoy the moment, as the next one will not be the same.

Surrender doesn't obstruct power; it enhances it.

In all the huge and amazing and infinitely varied world--there is only one you.

The miracle often lies outside our comfort zone.

No matter what I go through today, I need not fear. For God is all-powerful and God is here. I am never separate from the One who created me. There is nothing I can do to make Him turn his face away from me. I am loved, I am cared for, and I am totally safe in the arms of God.

In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.

The only issue that I have a problem with when it comes to the new age is the way that people such as myself are diminished by that label. I simply don't consider myself "new age." It's other people's small-mindedness that tries to connect me with someone who, let's say, thinks crystals are the answers to all of life's problems. I never did. There are those who suggest that anyone speaking from a base in California has less to say. That kind of bashing doesn't interest me.
