"This is not a manifesto in the traditional sense of the word. It's a rallying cry to commit to a new way of life: one that is based on spiritual Principles. It's a call to apply the tools we've now learned to every aspect of our lives: at home, at work, in the polling booth. To let them govern how we live, how we do business, how we raise our families, how we deal with our neighbors. It's a call to a values-led existence that puts love at its center. One that refuses to discriminate on the basis of race, class, creed, or gender. It's a call for love to become a way of life. To let it dictate our choices, our actions, and our interactions. This manifesto will take commitment on your part. It will mean practicing these Principles on a daily basis. Like swimmers in deep water, we have to keep moving in order to stay afloat. Any time we stop using them, we'll start to slip back into old patterns of criticism, competition, and judgment. But if you continue walking this path and practicing the Principles in your daily life, they will keep you resilient and focused, and build your compassion and connection...
This journey has no end - we'll be working on ourselves, our attitudes, and our actions for the rest of our days - but if we walk forward together, one woman at a time, amazing things will come to pass both for us individually and for the world in which we live." Part 3, pgs 294-295
