This past Thanksgiving, my father was at the farm, and I had all 11 dogs in the house with a father who never allowed dogs in the house. And he got up to leave the table and came back and Solomon was in his chair. And he says, "This dog is in my chair." And I said, "It's the other way around, you're sitting in his chair."

Every choice in life either moves you forward or keeps you stuck.

What I know for sure is that your life is a multipart series of all your experiences- and each experience is created by your thoughts, intentions, and actions to teach you what you need to know. Your life is a journey of learning to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter.

Intent and service-that is my motto.

Never give up your power to another person.

Your life is big. Keep reaching.

If you re not speaking your own truth, you will never be able to be all you are meant to be. You cannot be pretending to be somebody else.
