- Mindfulness has kept me more calm and more neutral. Sometimes people think I don't have any feelings.
- I've learned that most of my feelings come from thoughts and if I'm aware of the thoughts and can deal with them at that level, then I don't have to have the emotional outbursts.
- I still cry when I see cats and skunks playing together on YouTube. I cry at movies. I don't cry so much about loss. I cry more at the joy of beauty and love.
- I do breathing exercises as part of my yoga and my meditation practices in the morning.
- I studied Kundalini Yoga with a yoga teacher back in my '30s [and learned] to do that breath of fire real fast.
- Book: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

- My dad was an alcoholic, and he got violent when he got drunk. If I wasn't careful, I would get beaten, so I would literally hide inside the radio.
- I would wait till he went to bed so he couldn't find me because he was violent. So I got bullied by him. He was a verbal bully as well as a physical bully.
- I got bullied as a kid in school too.
