A Wonderful Stroke of Luck...

"Remember that not getting what you want 

is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck."

Dalai Lama

I do believe, that when things don't always work out as we hope or wish, it is Life's little way of saying, "There is something better for you in mind...". And we may not always understand that at a given moment, but eventually, we do. 

 

Simply be grateful. Not only give thanks for what you receive, but also for what you do not receive... That's the beautiful secret of the secret's secret. 

 

Gratitude.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Lift Your Heart...

"Refuse to fall down. If you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down. If you cannot refuse to stay down, then lift your heart toward heaven, and like a hungry beggar, ask that it be filled, and it will be filled. You may be pushed down. You may be kept from rising. 

But no one can keep you from lifting your heart toward heaven."

Clarissa Pinkola Estés

A Queen...

"A Queen is wise. She has earned her serenity. not by having had it bestowed on her, but by having passed her tests. She has suffered and grown more beautiful because of it.

You...

"You will feel the most significant experience, you will become ecstatic if you can feel that the whole existence needs you, that you will be missed, that if you are not here there will be a gap. You will be missed. You are not unnecessary. You are not superfluous. You have tremendous significance. Hence, love yourself. You are needed as much as the trees, as the flowers, as the birds, and as the sun, as the moon, as the stars. You have a reason to be here and you have a right to be the way you are."

Osho

Have you ever thought, that if you were not here, everything in this world would be different?

Just like the butterfly speading its wings can cause for a wind to blow thousands of miles away. Every word you speak, every step you take and every example you set, can do just the same. And you'll never know the power and the potential you have in that, until you simply trust these words. And see your purpose in that. It is why you are here. With reason.

Because life is all woven together.

Like a butterfly. Spread your wings. Beautifully.

Much Loves, Angela.

How to be an Artist...

How to be an Artist

Joseph Beuys.

Stay loose.
Learn to watch snails.
Plant impossible gardens.
Invite someone dangerous to tea.
Make little signs that say yes! And post them all over your house.
Make friends with freedom and uncertainty.
Look forward to dreams. Cry during movies.
Swing as high as you can on a swingset, by moonlight.
Cultivate moods.
Refuse to be "responsible".
Do it for love.
Take lots of naps.
Give money away. Do it now. The money will follow.
Believe in magic. Laugh a lot.
Celebrate every gorgeous moment.
Have wild imaginings, transformative dreams, and perfect calm.
Draw on the walls. Read every day.
Imagine yourself magic. Giggle with children.
Listen to old people. Open up. Dive in.
Be free. Bless yourself. Drive away fear.
Play with everything. Entertain your inner child.
You are innocent.
Build a fort with blankets.
Get wet. Hug trees. Write love letters.

Joseph Beuys. How to be an Artist.

And what are you going to do today?

I want to drink tea. And build forts with blanks. 

I want to read a book. A walk in the snow.

And do it...  For Love.

Much Loves to you too,

Angela.

An Affirmation... All is well in my world.

"In the infinity of life, where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete. I no longer choose to believe in old limitations and lack. I now choose to begin to see myself as the universe sees me.
