“My head aches, my eyes burn, my arms and legs have given up, and my face in the mirror has a grayish cast. The bed, across the room, calls in its unmistakable lover's croon, Come to me, come, only I can make you truly happy, oh, how happy I'll make you, don't resist, remember how you moan with pleasure the instant we touch..... Laura Acosta”

If he can turn us on God (â€œItâ€™s not fair!â€), or turn us on others (â€œItâ€™s their fault!â€), or turn us on ourselves (â€œIâ€™m so stupid!â€), we wonâ€™t turn on him. If we keep fighting within ourselves and losing our own inner battles, weâ€™ll never have the strength to stand up and fight our true enemy.”

“Mindfulness is being aware of yourself, others, and your surroundings in the moment. When consciously and kindly focusing awareness on life as it unfolds minute by precious minute, you are better able to savor each experience. Also, being closely attentive gives you the opportunity to change unwise or painful feelings and responses quickly. In fact, being truly present in a mindful way is an excellent stress reducer and, because of that, can be seen as consciousness conditioning, a strengthening workout for body, mind, heart, and spirit.”
