And, as you know, the present moment is where ALL your power is. A reminder I need regularly. Maybe you too.

Thoughts are an important part of your inner wisdom and they are very powerful. A thought held long enough and repeated often enough becomes a belief. A belief then becomes your biology.

Age is just a number, and agelessness means not buying into the idea that a number determines everything from your state of health to your attractiveness to your value.

Love knows how to do without what it naturally wants. Love knows how to say, 'What does it matter.'

The imagination enlarges little objects so as to fill our souls with a fantastic estimate; and, with rash insolence, it belittles the great to its own measure, as when talking of God.
