“It is not the rebel or outcast or disobedient that will destroy us. The greedy hypocrite is found in greater numbers and has the potential to infect humanity to its extinction.

“Personal integrity is more than telling the truth. It is a moment to moment accounting of the thoughts we entertain and the feelings we stir in ourselves and others.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“If every possibility were available to you, if every expectation was wiped out, if ‘good’ and ‘bad’ were mere colors on a spiritual palate… What would you desire? What would you prefer? What would you truly want? Now, get out of the way and let the Universe give it to you..” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
