I like it when my mother smiles. And I especially like it when I make her smile.

But what Mom never told me is that along the way, you find sisters, and they find you. Girls are cool that way.

We hang out, we help one another, we tell one another our worst fears and biggest secrets, and then just like real sisters, we listen and don't judge.

You are forgiven for your happiness and your successes only if you generously consent to share them.

If you compose your dreams into a music, then your dreams will become the music you will always love to sing.

A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books.

I went to Paris in 1989 when the Americans didn't quite know what to do with me at first. Now, all those years later, it's kind of the same story. Not the same scenario, but kind of the same story.

When I write I find a quiet place.

When we can build community based on truth and authenticity, rather than masks, false perfection, and being phoney, we heal, connect, and thrive.
