The roses, the lovely notes, the dining and dancing are all welcome and splendid. But when the Godiva is gone, the gift of real love is having someone who'll go the distance with you. Someone who, when the wedding day limo breaks down, is willing to share a seat on the bus.

When you learn to say thank you, you see the world anew.

I consider this world to be like a school and our lives to be the classrooms.

If something feels right, I do it. If it feels wrong, I don't. It's really very, very simple, but you've got to be willing to take your chances doing stuff that may look crazy to other people - or not doing something that looks right to others but just feels wrong to you.

I'm easy to look at, but so hard to see.

It does not matter how you came into the world, what matters is that you are here.

That's what leads to a reinvention of yourself - being fully present and in the moment.
