The roses, the lovely notes, the dining and dancing are all welcome and splendid. But when the Godiva is gone, the gift of real love is having someone who'll go the distance with you. Someone who, when the wedding day limo breaks down, is willing to share a seat on the bus.

Before you agree to do anything that might add even the smallest amount of stress to your life, ask yourself What is my truest intention Give yourself time to let a yes resound within you. When it's right, I guarantee that your entire body will feel it.

Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.

We are working on the date ... but it's going to be right before the release of the record. It's in the second or first week of October.

Be A Queen!
Be a queen. Dare to be different. Be a pioneer. Be a leader. Be the kind of woman who in the face of adversity will continue to embrace life and walk fearlessly toward the challenge. Take it on! Be a truth seeker and rule your domain, whatever it is--your home, your office, your family with a loving heart.
Be a queen. Be tender. Continue to give birth to new ideas and rejoice in your womanhood. . . My prayer is that we will stop wasting time being mundane and mediocre. . . We are daughters of God--here to teach the world how to love. . . It doesn't matter what you've been through, where you come from, who your parents are --nor your social or economic status.
None of that matters. What matters is how you choose to love, how you choose to express that love through your work, through your family, through what you have to give to the world. . .
Be a queen. Own your power and your glory!

Every time you state what you want or believe, you're the first to hear it. It's a message to both you and others about what you think is possible. Don't put a ceiling on yourself.

|
It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures, new directions to grow in, and new lessons to learn - which is what life is all about.

It was anarchy inside that building, ... gangs banded together and had more ammunition, at times, than the police.

Gayle and I have said for years it's a shame other people couldn't be in on the conversation sometimes. It will be about what's going on in the world, and just us talking about it the way we talk about it, as girlfriends. . . . I think that Gayle and Oprah reality radio is going to be a huge hit.

Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.

|
I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.

All these years I've been feeling like I was growing into myself. Finally, I feel grown.

Be more splendid, more extraordinary. Use every moment to fill yourself up.

Let your light shine. Shine within you so that it can shine on someone else. Let your light shine.

Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you're going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus.

This is part of the reason I was born, ... I will do other films, but nothing will come close to meaning what this has meant to me at this particular time.

|
Though I am grateful for the blessings of wealth, it hasn't changed who I am. My feet are still on the ground. I'm just wearing better shoes.
