The spiritual is whatever allows us to notice the miraculous nature of life.

I went from patient to advocate in a day. The feeling of being able to serve….to be able to offer up my story as much as it is uncomfortable, it’s a tremendous privilege.

If I just waited for a cure, I wouldn’t really be alive. I’ve remodeled my life...so that I can achieve something with what I have.

I had the choice to either grow up and find God in the situation or become bitter. I chose to find God. And I experienced freedom like I never knew before.

I’ve been asked how I can constantly work with people who are dying. I’m not. I’m working with people who are living.

...Men and women who have recovered from this disease [depression]…bear witness to what is probably its only saving grace: it’s conquerable.

Getting my lifelong weight struggle under control has come from a process of treating myself as well as I treat others in every way.
 

It is God who enables us to return to life after tragedy—not by eradicating all suffering but by giving us the strength and the courage to heal what we can heal.

Built into human makeup is a longing for a ‘more’ that the world of everyday experience cannot requite.

The stronger the ties that bind us to God, the more likely we are to live, react, and behave in harmony with…greater joy, peace, and happiness.
