drama knowing people
So many people prefer to live in drama because it's comfortable. It's like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship - it's actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.
funny hilarious running
Just go up to somebody on the street and say 'You're it!' and then run away.
inspirational funny hilarious
People always ask me, 'Were you funny as a child?' Well, no, I was an accountant.
thinking political president
I think anybody who wants to be president has to be a politician, but I would like to find somebody who's coming from a loving place instead of a political place.
funny life cutting
I think they should have a Barbie with a buzz cut.
spiritual phones long
Right before I decided to come out, I went on a spiritual retreat called 'Changing the Inner Dialogue of Your Subconscious Mind.' I'd never been to anything like it before, and all my friends were taking bets on how long I'd last with no TV, no radio, no phone. But for me that was the beginning of paying attention to all the little things.
animal compassion rights
I'm not an activist; I don't look for controversy. I'm not a political person, but I'm a person with compassion. I care passionately about equal rights. I care about human rights. I care about animal rights.
work-out weight matter
I used to beat myself up about weight and working out, and no matter what I did I never felt good about myself. I decided to accept myself and know that I am good.
funny humor ideas
The only thing that scares me more than space aliens is the idea that there aren't any space aliens. We can't be the best that creation has to offer. I pray we're not all there is. If so, we're in big trouble.
inspirational fear thinking
The world is full of a lot of fear and a lot of negativity, and a lot of judgment. I just think people need to start shifting into joy and happiness. As corny as it sounds, we need to make a shift.
christmas holiday cheesy
Nothing says holidays, like a cheese log.
inspirational positive success
I work really hard at trying to see the big picture and not getting stuck in ego. I believe we're all put on this planet for a purpose, and we all have a different purpose... When you connect with that love and that compassion, that's when everything unfolds.
funny humor sleep
Take a nap in a fireplace and you'll sleep like a log.

Be open to learning new lessons, even if they contradict the lessons you learned yesterday.
