In Heather’s Voice:
“I think a visionary is someone who both leads by example and also someone who is willing to look for the possibility in everything rather than just staying within the box, or as I like to call it “stay within the matrix.”
“I do things that people tell me can’t be done, and I don’t care. I trust my instincts. They haven’t led me astray yet, not wildly anyways.”
“What are the basic psychological requirements that put you in a good head space so that you can serve others from there.”
“My whole 30s have been an unfolding and learning how to listen to myself.”
“I had dumbed down so many of my senses that I realized when I started to relax on myself that colors started to seem more vibrant and what not.”
“Freedom to me, in the context of who I am in the society that I live in, is the ability to make choices I need to make in order to thrive in this life.”
“Anybody can do something extraordinary. It just takes seeing that possibility.”
