People just want to know that they matter.

The struggle of my life created empathy... I could relate to pain... being abandoned... having people not love me.

There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.

Some women have a weakness for shoes... I can go barefoot if necessary. I have a weakness for books.

I live in the space where God is. There is no question that that is why I am where I am, and why I have had the success that I've had, is because I allow myself to be guided by that which is greater than myself - than my personality.

There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It's why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.

You can either waltz boldly onto the stage of life and live the way you know your spirit is nudging you to, or you can sit quietly by the wall, receding into the shadows of fear and self doubt.
