Millions of Americans find community, comfort and support in their faith.
I always wanted to be a boy scout but was too poor. Couldn't do it.
I'm naturally a graceful human being. So meditation helps me stay grounded. When we're silent for a moment, it helps us to hear the hum of the universe. Hear the message or what the universe is trying to tell you. It's your inner voice and instinct. If you're hearing that, then you're in the flow of things. It takes years to try and trust that.
We live in a world of creative beauty - the grand architect of the universe. God has planted something for us - a playground to play in if we choose to look at it that way and understand it. So, this time for me, is really a time to create.
I have four daughters, the eldest is 19, the youngest is 12, and I watched all of them journey into motherhood. Motherhood is very deep. It starts when you're very, very young. Now, my 12 year old comes in, wants to put me to bed. And she'll, you know, put her hand on my forehead and say the prayer with me. As for years I've done for her! It's almost like a very beautiful, natural transition.

As human beings, when we're young, we're not jaded. As we grow older, we begin to take on ideas of our parents, family of origins and that changes us. We become less fluid sometimes. So for me, I look for roles that are uplifting in many ways - no matter what the race or color of the role is. I want to go beyond that and try to share what I think my gift is and that is we all have this gift of choice. We just don't sometimes realize we have that choice.
I'm always writing. I'm an obsessive. It's not because I'm a disciplined person. It's because I'm crazy about it.
All the evidence here, for example, in Britain, is that migrants, particularly from the rest of Europe, who come here contribute far more in taxes.
This is a glorious biography. . . The time is ripe for a new biography of Edith Wharton of this intimacy and on this scale. . . Lee the biographer pursues her subject down every winding corridor, into every hidden passage and dark corner. . . Her critical exploration of Edith Whartons work is dazzlingly assured. . . A feat of exhaustive research, and finely tuned to Whartons creative achievement at the same time. . . [Wharton] could scarcely have failed to be impressed by. . . its artistic sympathy, its sonorous depths, and its soaring conception.
Hence it will not do for the Landlord to possess too fine a nature. . . . He must have no idiosyncracies, no particular bents or tendencies to this or that, but a general, uniform, and healthy development, such as his portly person indicates, offering himself equally on all sides to men.
