“There have been three very dramatic initiations that transformed me, from who I did not know I was, into becoming who I am, learning who I am… Before the first initiation…I knew how to behave. I knew how to fulfill expectations… how to look pretty… how to charm people. I had no self confidence in myself, and was making really bad choices in terms of any kind of happiness… so I came up against a wall of not believing in life…” “…there’s a huge amount of people who don't say yes to life. That was why I wanted to write the book… to make it possible for people to imagine that someone could say yes as many times as I've said yes, and not be destroyed by it and, instead, become something.”
