Gratitude is the richest, most joyful feeling humans are privileged to experience.

The healing that can grow out of the simple act of telling our stories is often quite remarkable.

Our stories arise from our hearts and our souls. In this sense, telling our stories becomes a sacred gesture, opening a clear way to that deep, ecstatic center where we are most uniquely our selves, individual and unique, and yet are ourselves, joined together at the heart.

I am often surprised when I think to count my graces, for the more I count, the more there seem to be. And if pride in my accomplishments is the emotion that I naturally feel when I focus on my gifts, gratitude is the emotion I feel as I become aware of the many graces that have shaped me and my gifts.

One person's weed is another person's wildflower.

Music keeps time and defies time, simultaneously.
