There are no meaningless experiences.

God makes no mistakes. In all our trials and dramas there are lessons. Life is not a playground but a classroom. Our journey through life provides the course work and the tests needed for our education and development.

See the inevitable changes not as threats but as opportunities that can deepen our understanding and bring us wisdom and growth.

We don't have an eternity to realize our dreams, only the time we are here.

In every crisis there is a message.

Acceptance is what we wish for ourselves and often deny others.

Our greatest problems in life come not so much from the situations we confront as from our doubts about our ability to handle them.

Self-love is the starting point for everything.

Love is the life spring of our existence. The more love you give, the happier you feel and the more love you will have within you to give.

Take the reins of your life in your hands every day. Get up and put a smile on your face, and feel grateful for this gift in your life.

Whatever we believe about ourselves and our ability comes true for us.

The more we nourish our internal world, the more powerful we grow in the external world.

Thoughts have power; thoughts are energy. And you can make your world or break it by your own thinking.

Seeds of faith are always within us; sometimes it takes a crisis to nourish and encourage their growth.

As we rise to meet the challenges that are a natural part of living, we awaken to our many undiscovered gifts, to our inner power and our purpose.

When I was in my early 20s, I had my hair permed. Bad Idea! It turned into total frizz. My advice to women is: if you have nice hair already, don't get a perm, leave your hair alone.

My Dad taught me that good health is all about living in gratitude.

I'm an L.A. girl who became a tough New York cop.

I was lucky enough to have a father who said, 'Don't quit.' So I just kept going.
