Touch the Stars...

"Every fool knows you can't touch the stars. 

But it does not stop a wise man from trying."

Harry Anderson

Go on. Step out there.

Raise your hands, your heart and your head high...

And yearn to touch those stars.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Life is Art...

"I think everything in life is art. What you do, how you dress, the way you love someone and how you talk. Your smile and your personality, what you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea, how you decorate your home, or party. Your grocery list, the food you make, how your writing looks, and the way you feel. Life is art."

Unknown 

Always remember...

Life is Art. And you are the artist.

Much Loves,

Believe...

"In yourself, in love, in trust, in magic, in angels, in happy endings. In God, in promises, in miracles. In people, in fairy tales, in following your heart. In peace, in happiness, in never giving up. In following your passions, and making your dreams come true, in always having fun. In helping people, in making the world a better place, in changing for the better. Believe."

A Big Psychic Orgasm...

"To achieve the marvelous, you must do the unthinkable... 

The answer will hit you, like a big psychic orgasm. 

If you listen to your dreams, they never lie."

E. Jean Carroll

Think the marvelous for this coming year. Dream beyond.

And live as if...

Live as if you are already there. In poise. In gratitude.

In the rituals you start and end your day with.

In the way you approach your work. And your play.

Fall into the essence of it. The emotion of it.

Feel your way there. Before you think your way there.

Like with all things orgasmic.

Much Loves,

Angela.

A Little Bit of Oomph...

"Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don't be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom and young enough to enjoy it. Finally know who you are."

Please Don't Let This Happen...

"Oh my God. What if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written. Or you didn’t go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy. Or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It is going to break your heart, my dear. Please don’t let this happen. "

Anne Lamott

Please don't let this happen...

Start living. Your life. Your dreams. Now.

It is never too late. If you start... Now.

Always see them, for they are always there.”

Declare it possible. And it becomes possible.

Today is That Day...

"One day you will wake up and realize that life has passed you by, that your dreams of today are gone, that the things you wanted are no longer there. Not today. Not now. Not your life. This is the day where you take control and create your future. Life isn't about waiting, hoping or wishing. It is about creating, doing and truly living. Today is that day."

Knock Knock...

"That’s the way it is with dreams. They scratch at your door. You see them through the peep hole. A stray dream looking for a home. You think it might go away if you ignore it. Wrong. It’s still there when you open the door, smiling. And waiting for you."

Monique Duval

Open the door when your dreams knock.

Say hello, invite them in. It's the beginning of a beautiful adventure.
