I am a karmayogi: someone who becomes conscious of herself and the Divine through work, not through meditation in some ashram or saying Hail Marys.

I believe all women know in their heart of hearts that they truly are divine and magical, even if they've temporarily forgotten.
Take the years when you’re young – say, between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five, before you have a mortgage or kids or anything else that needs to be fed – and go balls out on intuition and follow your dreams.
Dreams won't always take you on a straight path to destiny but they're usually related to what your soul wants for you. They'll force you to ask yourself the hard questions, they'll kick your ass and more importantly, they'll turn you on.
You find out who you are by figuring out who and what you're not.
This was when I learned that you have to give up your life as you know it to get a new one: that sometimes you need to let go of everything you're clinging to and start over, whether because you've outgrown it or because it's not working anymore, or because it was wrong for you in the first place.
This is an important lesson to remember when you're having a bad day, a bad month, or a shitty year. Things will change: you won't feel this way forever. And anyway, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most. I believe you can't feel real joy unless you've felt…

I advise you to stop sharing your dreams with people who try to hold you back, even if they’re your parents.

Whoever said less is more was right: the less bullshit and frivolity you have in your life, the more attention you have to focus on what is really going on.
I think it's absolutely essential for you to know that you are sacred, magical, and special, to nurture that truth and unleash it into the world. That's right. I want you to fuck this earth with your energy.
The people you love most will hurt or destroy you on some level, whether it's in the immediate future or years down the road. So will your mother (if she hasn't already), your fiance, your husband, and your child. It doesn't make them horrible, worthless, or unredeemable. It just makes them human…
