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.

Courage is feeling the fear and doing it anyway.

I'm finally ready to own my own power, to say, "This is who I am." If you like it, you like it. And if you don't like it, you don't. So watch out; I'm gonna fly.

Getting my lifelong weight struggle under control has come from a process of treating myself as well as I treat others in every way.

I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life.

Everybody matters. Everyone just wants to be heard.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
