I've often called mothers the greatest spiritual teachers in the world.
Twenty minutes in the morning, 20 in the evening. Transcendental Meditation teachers have taught everyone in my company who wanted to learn how to meditate. The results have been awesome. Better sleep. Improved relationships with spouses, children, coworkers. Some people who once suffered migraines don't anymore. Greater productivity and creativity all around.
For the first time, I wasn't afraid to be smart, and she often stayed after school to work with me.
After all these years, I could say thank you to a woman who had a powerful impact on my early life.
I believe the choice to become a mother is the choice to become one of the greatest spiritual teachers there is.
When you learn, teach. When you get, give. Maya Angelou taught me that.
There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It's why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.
Failure is a great teacher and, if you are open to it, every mistake has a lesson to offer.
I just want to say shame on anybody for thinking that I was upset for not being able to get into a clothes store and buy a purse, ... Please, please.
It's not a classic and it is also not fiction but a bold choice ... it's a gut-wrenching memoir.
After this trip I know these kids went home with happy memories to last a life time.
I hope... to open the door to the possibilities for a world of people who have never been or even thought of going to a Broadway show.
I hope you know how much I loved your mother.
No, ma'am, I would not, ... is the best forum in the world. I think all the senators wish they had that for themselves.
