Creating something beautiful is the best response to difficult news.

I find my sweetest peace among the boxwood and lupin, surrounded by the colors of His creation, embedding bits of my own vision into soil.

We fixate on the first words—Mama. Baba. Dada. Bye.—but isn’t it more fascinating to imagine our last?

The night bears advice, when all the fussing and carrying on of the day is at rest. It is the time the soul whispers its deepest knowings, and the Creator of all things speaks what is best.

Maybe an impossible question…but in the hard moment, whatever it is, how will you react?

I love the feeling of entering a room bathed in light, the welcome of it feels as if someone has already been there or is waiting. He always is.

Between the life you lead and the one that you pray for is the work that defines you.

Those who master the world are deft at changing their point of view.

Such calm, juxtaposed to the chaos of the world. This is where my heart is drawn…to the orange in us all.

When we magnify our problems by starring at them too intently for too long, we miss the broader view.

Revelations come when we begin to heal, when we make a commitment to come Under the Light.

If there is one image that is emblematic of who I want to be, it’s the woman with the bald head under that cap—not only a picture of resilience but more of a willingness to be transformed.

I wandered the rooms and corridors in search of soul and discovered it in me.

Criticism is the beauty killer.

The winner is the first one to finish.

Healing is not something to be chased. It is something to be proclaimed.

Exacting a life purpose from unexpected circumstance is precisely why I believe we were brought here. Not to fabricate or invent a reason for existence, but to celebrate existence for its own sake.

The extravagance is never about the gift, it is about our willingness to deeply and profoundly love.

There are headlines tucked inside our ordinary conversations, like exquisite and knowing poetry written of our lives.

Few things with the word “instant” in front of them are of value. And then there’s prayer.
