Every day, passion speaks to us through our feelings. That's why when you allow yourself to become anesthetized by what others think, you literally block yourself from living the life you were called to live. I promise you that if you make a choice that doesn't please your mate, your friends, your mother, or whoever, the world will not fall apart. The people who truly love you want you to love yourself.

Take what you can do and use it for the highest good to benefit others.

You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.

I couldn't kill myself. I would be afraid the minute I did it; something really good would happen and I'd miss it.

Back then, a few doilies and napkins were all that a lot of women had. In the little house where I grew up, the pillowcases my grandmother embroidered were the only things of beauty.

All pain is the same.

The life you want is waiting to rise up to meet you ... Will you accept it? Do you feel worthy enough to accept it?
