Midlife is not the time to disenchant ourselves. It's a time to turn on all our magic in full force.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.

Our problem is not that we don't have power, so much as that we tend to not use the power we have.

At the highest level of awareness, the greatest gift given and received when you give someone flowers, is the joy of living a life based on love.

The choice to be used as an instrument of love, right here, right now, is a choice for personal empowerment.

Do what you love. Do what makes your heart sing. And NEVER do it for the money, Go to work to spread joy.

Hopefully, I will emerge more shining. If I have that good fortune, if I am blessed in that way - and I do feel I am in the middle of the blessing - then I have faith my service will be greater.
