I couldn't kill myself. I would be afraid the minute I did it; something really good would happen and I'd miss it.

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

I remember a specific moment, watching my grandmother hang the clothes on the line, and her saying to me, 'you are going to have to learn to do this,' and me being in that space of awareness and knowing that my life would not be the same as my grandmother's life.

All these years I've been feeling like I was growing into myself. Finally, I feel grown.

What we're all striving for is authenticity, a spirit-to-spirit connection.

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.

You are always walking in the direction of either love or fear. Choose wisely.
