Twenty minutes in the morning, 20 in the evening. Transcendental Meditation teachers have taught everyone in my company who wanted to learn how to meditate. The results have been awesome. Better sleep. Improved relationships with spouses, children, coworkers. Some people who once suffered migraines don't anymore. Greater productivity and creativity all around.

For the first time, I wasn't afraid to be smart, and she often stayed after school to work with me.

After all these years, I could say thank you to a woman who had a powerful impact on my early life.

There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It's why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.
