steps credit done
There are a lot of women who feel that they have done all the work in their relationship only for someone else to step in and take the love and credit for it.
thinking feelings singing
I will just think, why am I singing? Then I will know everything I need to know about what I'm feeling.
beautiful kindness fall
That is what thrills me, personally. Small acts of kindness; thoughtful, large acts of kindness. I feel like we're in a bit of a precipice, and I think that any beautiful energy on the kindness continuum will just help us fall into a lovelier place.
kindness generosity helping
From the fear and constriction that's sort of always pulling us back and keeping us in old modalities, I feel like any expansive act of kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity, helps tip the scale toward a more conscious, liberated existence for everyone.
I have to meditate before I go to bed, always. I have to let the day go and let the eternal in.
sleep
Sleep is such a potent, liminal state, and I don't want to drag anything in there that doesn't need to be there.
stronger
The more I resist anything, the stronger it gets.
pain joy welcome
I have to welcome the pain like I welcome the joy.
pain trying
The pain is always bringing me a lesson. If I listen to the lesson when the pain is manageable, the pain won't get gargantuan and flatten me entirely, because I will have received the message at the center. I receive it as gently as I can, because the cruelest thing that I do to myself is try to push myself through an experience.
being-yourself dad just-be-yourself
My dad used to say, 'Just be yourself and you'll be fine,' but it's really, really true.
meditation singing solace
I wouldn't make it through the day without singing. It is my solace and my meditation and my release. It lets me know how I'm processing things, what I'm processing, if I'm out of touch in some area.
stars fun guests
When you guest-star, you're usually at the center of the dramatic arc, so that's fun.
forever missing singing
I miss singing. I did Broadway forever.
need-love deserve
There's a lot of life on the planet that needs love, wants love, deserves love, in whatever capacity we are able.
