"Being authentic, being soul-propelled, is a moment-by-moment choice. It is the decision to forgo resentment, to relinquish grudges, to believe in bliss. It is the awareness of every step as a blessing. It is my consciousness in each breath, reminding me that I am connected to the plants, and through them, to all of life. Accepting it all -- the mess, the chaos, the pain, the insults, the senseless waste, the good deeds gone bad, the sheer beauty, the awesome power, the amazing perseverance, the stunning fecundity, the breath-taking coincidences – embracing it all, and loving it all, even within my self, is my path of authenticity, the real woman I wish the women of the world to know."
