The balance and peace we seek for ourselves and our society won't be achieved through mental effort alone. Mind and spirit are meant to travel together, with spirit leading the way. Until we make a conscious commitment to understand and embrace our spiritual nature, we will endure the ache of living without the awareness and guidance of the most essential part of ourselves.

Women are holding up the world. We're taking care our children and, very often, our parents and sometimes our grandparents.

We each have a finite number of heartbeats, a finite amount of time. But we have enough heartbeats and enough time to do what is important.

There are no meaningless experiences.

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.

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

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