I've often called mothers the greatest spiritual teachers in the world.

What I have learned in my life and work is that the more I am able to be myself, the more it enables other people to be themselves.

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

An nice lady in the back...asked what I thought about how we begin to move forward. I think it is up to each individual, which then moves to your family, which moves to your community. Each person, in their own life, let your life be a light for peace, for justice, for all that is good. Just let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but in other people's lives.

When I was going through menopause, I didn't sleep. I didn't sleep for two years and ended up blowing out my thyroid, and I became nonfunctional. It's difficult to remain fully present if I'm not getting enough sleep, so I work at getting enough.

I try to view the challenges in my life not as annoyances, but as confirmations of fortitude.
