The healing that can grow out of the simple act of telling our stories is often quite remarkable.

Our stories arise from our hearts and our souls. In this sense, telling our stories becomes a sacred gesture, opening a clear way to that deep, ecstatic center where we are most uniquely our selves, individual and unique, and yet are ourselves, joined together at the heart.

Does that mean you're prepared to deal with whatever turns up? People aren't sometimes. When they learn the real truth, they're all of a sudden content to live with a lie.

One person's weed is another person's wildflower.

Gratitude is the richest, most joyful feeling humans are privileged to experience.

The worst thing about talk ... is that there's no way to lay it to rest. Every fresh breeze brings a new speculation.

We are the only ones who can tell our stories because we are the only ones who have lived them.
