Meditation is helping me learn to sit still. Twenty minutes of meditation in the morning is a nice way to start my day. If you can actually sit still and really get to that place of silence, you realize what's important and what's not important. Little things don't usually get to me anymore.
Ellen DeGeneres
It's nice when people love you....for you.
Ellen DeGeneres
Quick decision makers are often stuck behind annoying people in line at Starbucks.
