What I know for sure: Having the best things is no substitute for having the best life. When you can let go of the desire to acquire, you know you are really on your way.

Declare today "sacred timeoff limits to everyone, unless invited by you. Take care of your personal wants and needs. Say no, graciously but firmly, to others' demands."

I have created a life by stepping out of the box of people's limitations. I call it zigging when others are zagging.

It's up to each of us to get very still and say, 'This is who I am.' No one else defines your life. Only you do.

A gift isn't a gift unless it has meaning. Just giving things to people, especially children, create the expectation of more things.

The divine is in all things.

I also like some of Joel Osteen's work. I think he's now doing a book about one of my favorite sermons of his, "The Power of 'I Am.' " I just love that sermon.
