Quotes

  • My trust in a higher power that wants me to survive and have love in my life, is what keeps me moving forward.
  • The corporate woman has been defined as the 'liberated woman' and I see that as the exact opposite. I think she now is more enslaved, maybe even more than the housewife was; because she's so out of her power, and imitating male power is not female power.
  • My quest these days is to find my long lost inner child, but I'm afraid if I do, I'll end up with food in my hair and way too in love with the cats.
  • Running away will never make you free.
  • Real freedom is creative, proactive, and will take me into new territories. I am not free if my freedom is predicated on reacting to my past.
