Marianne Williamson

I had the distinct privilege of seeing Marianne Williamson speak in Santa Monica tonight. She has a wonderful presence and is a tremendous speaker. A couple of the quotes that I wrote down from the lecture:

Some of your greatest successes you've deemed failures. Some of your greatest failures you've deemed successes.

Only what you are not giving is what is lacking in the situation.

(Quoting Martin Luther King Jr.) Your life begins to end on the day when you stop talking about what really matters.

(You can find some more cool Marianne Williamson quotes here.)

It was good timing that I went tonight because Seth just put up a new Marianne Williamson author page. He did an awesome job with the bio and assembling the wide array of her audio and video material that currently exists. You'll definitely want to check it out.

I was also impressed with Williamson's political involvement. She is working hard to lobbying for the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace which has to be one of the coolest and most refreshing ideas I've heard recently. For more information and to find out how you can join her campaign, click here.

What an amazing woman. It's an honor to be able to feature her on LearnOutLoud.com.

(Note: I see that Seth and I both just posted blog entries on Marianne at almost the identical time. Ah heck, we'll just leave 'em both up for you! :))
