John Mark Green
“Don't be fooled by my quiet exterior. It hides a wild mind and passionate heart.”
John Mark Green

Patti Smith
“I'm going to promote myself exactly as I am, with all my weak points and my strong ones. My weak points are that I’m self-conscious and often insecure, and my strong point is that I don’t feel any shame about it.”
Patti Smith

Aletheia Luna
“Create boundaries. Honor your limits. Say no. Take a break. Let go. Stay grounded. Nurture your body. Love your vulnerability. And if all else fails, breathe deeply.”
Aletheia Luna, Awakened Empath: The Ultimate Guide to Emotional, Psychological and Spiritual Healing

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“And, while expressing gratitude seems innocent enough, it is a revolutionary idea. In a consumer society, contentment is a radical proposition. Recognizing abundance rather than scarcity undermines an economy that thrives by creating unmet desires. Gratitude cultivates an ethic of fullness, but the economy needs emptiness.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

“But what I know from personal experience is that the more you invest in optimizing your health, the easier it gets. The easier it gets, the less you need a mentor to motivate you. You become your own hero in your own Unbreakable life story. You know what to do and you do it.”
Vonda Wright M.D.
