  • I appreciate the fact that lots of people have lots of fun at all these parties – or at least they tell me they do. I’m a big fan of dancing, I like music so much I try to compose it, and my life is built around special relationships. I guess I like enjoying these…

  • The gospel that offers caregivers ultimate guidance is the gospel of Love. It is the one written in our hearts. And it is in this gospel where we find the good news and the hope upon which the fulfillment of our lives depends.

  • We started this exploration talking about bluebirds, not healing. People take drugs to improve their mood. On this day, the sight of a bluebird was, for me, as fine an elixir as anything sold in a pharmacy.

  • Love is the energy that determines our best days. The more we cultivate it, the more we are likely to create best days for others. And the more we will discover, to our surprise, that any day filled with love is a day worth living.
