There is a knowingness that is as much a part of us as flesh and blood and bones. It's intuition, the deepest natural knowing. ... Intuition is the voice within forever pressing us to stretch ourselves, to take risks, to keep loving and giving birth to a new self, regardless of circumstances.

See the inevitable changes not as threats but as opportunities that can deepen our understanding and bring us wisdom and growth.

Acceptance is what we wish for ourselves and often deny others.

In every crisis there is a message.

As we rise to meet the challenges that are a natural part of living, we awaken to our many undiscovered gifts, to our inner power and our purpose.

Any joy, creativity or wisdom our next moment brings will ensue from the way we live our present one.
