Ideas come at any moment -- except when you demand them. Most ideas come while I'm physically active, at the gym, with friends, gardening, so I always carry pen and paper. My first draft is always written in longhand. But once the first dozen chapters, more like short stories, are written, then momentum builds until I can't leave the project until it's done.

Greet every morning with open arms and say thanks every night with a full heart. Each day is a precious gift to be savored and used, not left unopened and hoarded for a future that may never come.

When things are at their worst, I find something always happens.

I intend to bring you strength, joy, courage, perspicacity, defiance.

Some people look for a beautiful place, others make a place beautiful.

There's a rainbow in the sky, all the time, don't be blind
