I thought my book was done, then we went to Hawaii and the whole last chapter happened.

There's nothing beautiful about somebody killing themselves.

I began by doing physical yoga, initially just for the workout, as exercise. I would get peaceful and calm at the end of it, and I was curious about that.

The answers we're looking for are all within ourselves, we just need to become better connected, more present - to what we eat, to nature, to our surroundings and to our inner guide.

I think that growth and spiritual awareness come in slow increments. Sometimes you don't know it's happening.

I wanted out of my pain and that silliness, but I wanted an easy out. That's before realizing that there is no easy out. Before accepting that you just have to do the work.

Once you take care of yourself, you become the example, and then everybody around you can change.
