There is no greater source of strength and power for me in my life than going still, being quiet and recognizing what real power is.

I know who I am, and the thing about power for me is that it's connected to a source that's obviously greater than myself. Any time you can connect to the source and understand that that's where all of your energy, your creativity, your joy and your triumph come from, I consider that to be authentic power.

There were lots of little boys having their bar mitzvahs all over the world, and they sent me tapes of some of them that they interviewed, probably six or seven little boys, and there was something about Mendel. I just loved his little face. I loved the energy of Mendel.

Your life is a reflection of how you think

Failing is another stepping-stone to greatness.

If you don't give something back when you get, you don't keep.

This season don't get lost in making the perfect meal or become overwhelmed with all the folks in your house. Use this time to center yourself.
