The roles we play in each other's lives are only as powerful as the trust and connection between us--the protection, safety, and caring we are willing to share.

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.

Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.

Dogs are my favorite role models. I want to work like a dog, doing what I was born to do with joy and purpose. I want to play like a dog, with total, jolly abandon. I want to love like a dog, with unabashed devotion and complete lack of concern about what people do for a living, how much money they have, or how much they weigh. The fact that we still live with dogs, even when we don't have to herd or hunt our dinner, gives me hope for humans and canines alike.

When you live with an open heart, unexpected, joyful things happen

I'm not one of those people who is trying to act like I don't sleep. I used to be like, "Oh, I only need four hours." Now I need exactly 5 1/2 to 6 in order to feel like I've done well.

Ask the right questions, and the answers will always reveal themselves.
