Key Quotes:
- “If there is a picture, if there is a page, if there is something that you are viewing with your eyes that is making you feel horrible about yourself, delete it. Delete. Unfollow. Remove.”
- “Each and every one of us is a spark of God in human form. And each and every one of us has a mission on this planet, and sometimes our mission is connected not just to how we live, but to how we die.”
- “We are here on this planet for only a short period of time. There is the birth experience, there is the life, and there is the death experience, and then we go on to the other realm to explore, to laugh, to love, and to learn some more.”
