It takes tenacity and daring to travel the darkest interior of one's self.

An authentic life is the most personal form of worship. Everyday life has become my prayer.

Deliberately seeking solitude-quality time spent away from family and friends-may seem selfish. It is not. Solitude is as necessary for our creative spirits to develop and flourish as are sleep and food for our bodies to survive.

Life is not made up of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years, but of moments. You must experience each one before you can appreciate it.

Only when the clamor of the outside world is silenced will you be able to hear the deeper vibration. Listen carefully.

Today, and everyday, take as your personal mantra: I am what I am and what I am is wonderful.

The seasons of life are not meant to be frenetic, just full. Blessed is the woman who knows her own limits.
