The world has so many lessons to teach you. I consider the world, our earth, to be like a school, and our life, the classrooms. Sometimes on our planet life school, the lessons often come dressed up as detours and road blocks and sometimes as full blown crises. And the secret I've learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons.

Everybody has a story. And there's something to be learned from every experience.

To be fully human is...to know that it's possible to face the unimaginable and somehow put one foot in front of the other.

I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.

Take five minutes to center yourself in the morning...Set your intention every day.

You teach people how to treat you.

Spirituality for me is recognizing that I am connected to the energy of all creation, that I am a part of it and it is always a part of me.
