There’s nothing as unstoppable as a freight train full of fuck-yeah.
“...My "poodle" brain craves the adventures that happen during training and racing. Days-long relays, obstacle courses involving fire and barbed wire, races at night, races where you wear tutus. (Fact: that can be every race, if you want it to be.) Some adventures can be intimidating, but it’s still fun to conquer something new.”

“But to yell at your creativity, saying, “You must earn money for me!” is sort of like yelling at a cat; it has no idea what you’re talking about, and all you’re doing is scaring it away, because you’re making really loud noises and your face looks weird when you do that.”

“Anyhow, the older I get, the less impressed I become with originality. These days, I’m far more moved by authenticity. Attempts at originality can often feel forced and precious, but authenticity has quiet resonance that never fails to stir me.”

“Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart.”

“In Wales, we make a burning list on New Year’s Eve. You write down all of the actions of other people that upset you that year and that you don’t want them to continue doing in the New Year. Just the actions. Not the names of the people doing them. That’s important to remember, because otherwise there could be bad consequences! Anyway, you make the list, and then you burn it. It works. Those behaviors just stop! I told this client to make a burning list, and then I told her, ‘Every day for two weeks, write down all the things you are thankful for and all the things you love about yourself.’ The assignments really helped. Actually, she’s almost impossible to be with now. She loves herself too much,” Reesha said and laughed (and laughed).”
