My first deepening of spirituality came when I was 6, when I was moved from my grandmother and sent to live with my mother - whom I really did not know - who had moved to Milwaukee. Something inside myself knew that I was never going to see my grandmother again - I would be wasting my time to live in that space of wanting that.

In every aspect of our lives, we are always asking ourselves, How am I of value? What is my worth? Yet I believe that worthiness is our birthright.

Often when someone comes to you and wants to vent, it's so tempting to start giving advice. But if you allow the person just to let the feelings out, and then at another time come back with advice or comments, that person would experience a deeper healing.

What would I do if I wasn't afraid?

My idea is to give hope, because where there is no hope, there is no vision, and where there is no vision, people will perish.

There is no doing in the world without being first.

When you focus on what you have, your ABUNDANCE increases. I started with my breath. Noticing being alive is a good start!
