I believe in the power that not only allows the sun to rise but turns seeds into flowers and dreams into realities.

I know for sure that's what we're here to do: Keep the joy thing going for all seasons.

The greatest lesson of life is that you are responsible for your life.

Never give up your power to another person.

I've seen that many times in rural African villages where people have nothing but a hut and a bowl. The joy in the children's eyes is something you wish you could package and bring back to America.

What I learned at a very early age was that I was responsible for my life. And as I became more spiritually conscious, I learned that we all are responsible for ourselves, that you create your own reality by the way you think and therefore act. You cannot blame your parents, your circumstances, because you are NOT your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.

I try to live in the moment and let that moment carry me to the next great place.
