Security is elusive. It's impossible. We all die. We all get old. We all get sick. People leave us. People change us. Nothing is secure.
numbers house one-day
I want to read so I can read the Koran read the signs in the street know the number of the bus I'm supposed to take when I one day leave this house.
empowering world body
stop fixing your bodies and start fixing the world!
consciousness
When you bring consciousness to anything, things begin to shift.
opportunity thinking feminist
I literally would go to see Tina Turner any opportunity I had because being in the presence of Tina Turner was like being in the presence of transformative energy, and feminist transformative energy. I remember thinking to myself, whatever this is, it's revolution. Whatever this is, it's change embodied in a woman.
fixing attention serving-others
It seems to me that we spend an inordinate amount of time and attention on fixing ourselves when we could really be directing that out to serving others,
