spiritual awakening and late blooming (2 September 2016)

Sometimes evolving doesn't mean transforming; sometimes it just means owning what is there.

- Salma Hayek

You can have a spiritual awakening and discover a new side of you at any age. And best of all, love can happen at any age. Life can just start to get exciting when you're in your 40s and 50s. You have to believe that.

- Salma Hayek
