Anybody can be heard. Anyone can express their truths. And communication is possible without the confines of the body.
Marianne Williamson
Image
A level of anxiety and tension and outright fear that so many people have felt, not only during the recession but during this slow economic recovery since. This made me very much want to up the conversation about how miracle-minded thinking applies to that area of life.

Nature is infinitely creative. It is always producing the possibility of new beginnings.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The past doesn't determine your future unless you carry it with you into the present. Forgiving yourself and others, you free the universe to begin again at any moment.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Life is a constant back-and-forth. We take a breath in and then we breathe out. The same is true for the culture as a whole.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We arrogantly assume that the nervous system doesn't really need to be coaxed into romance. That romance comes from some other place.

Every day can be like Christmas in its love and its peace if our hearts open up and make room for love. The holy child is waiting to be born in every instant, not just once a year.

Image
Our hearts are being stretched to span the violence and the suffering in our lives and world, and at the same time we are also witness to so much magnificence and brilliance. We are a species that has produced nuclear weapons, and also one that has developed profound insight into the nature of life itself.
