Memorable Quotes

"When you journal, you're imprinting the information to a much greater degree. You're spending more time on each word, each sentence, each thought, which deepens its imprint on the brain and the field."

"Writing is the mastery of the ancient arts. It is the movement of your hands, just like you move your body in ancient tai chi. Whether you are printing or writing cursive, realize that what you're doing is you're casting spells."

"I start with the first step, which is writing in prayer. I write as if I'm writing a love letter to my lover, which is God, because I have wanted to have a more personal relationship with God."
