Everybody has a calling. And your real job in life is to figure out as soon as possible what that is, who you were meant to be, and to begin to honor that in the best way possible for yourself.
It felt like a new day.
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo...
The reason I gained so much weight in the first place and the reason I had such a sorry history of abusive relationships with men was I just needed approval so much. I needed everyone to like me, because I didn’t like myself much.
I believe in the power that not only allows the sun to rise but turns seeds into flowers and dreams into realities.
I could eat a feeling faster than anybody, put a little hot sauce on it and wouldn’t recognize it until it showed up on my behind three days later.
I grew up in the country, which is probably why I’m so attached to the land. I love it. I love the lay of the land. I love walking the land. And I love knowing that it’s my land.
I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint.
There’s a surge, there’s a kind of energy field that says, ‘I’m in my groove, I’m in my groove.’ and nobody has to tell you, ‘You go, girl,’ because you know you’re already gone.

Life has taught me to just be the best I can be.
If you can see it, and believe it, it is a LOT easier to achieve it.
We need to deprogram ourselves. I know for sure that you can’t give what you don’t have. If you allow yourself to be depleted to the point where your emotional and spiritual tank is empty and you’re running on fumes of habit, everybody loses. Especially you.
That’s really what wealth does for you. It gives you freedom to make choices.
The best way to look at aging is to see it as an opportunity to leave what didn’t work behind and step boldly into a brand new future.
When you educate a woman, you set her free. Had I not had books and education in Mississippi, I would have believed that’s all there was.
What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what.
Nothing happens until you decide.
You are worthy because you were born.
Waking up early on Saturday gives me an edge in finishing my work with a very relaxed state of mind. There is a feeling of time pressure on weekdays that aren’t there on weekends. If I wake up early in the morning before anybody else, I can plan the day or at least my activities with relaxed mind.
