Decide...

"A decision is a manifestation. 

A decision is your liberty. 

A decision is your God given power."

Angela Gwinner

All you have to do is... Decide.

It's the secret of the secret's secret. And the foundation of your manifestations.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Be Magic...

"I want to be magic. 

I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile. 

I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree. Or under a hill. 

I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. 

I don't want to pretend at magic anymore. 

I want to be magic."

Charles de Lint

Be Magic. Abracadabra. Be Magic.

Ask and Feel...

"Ask the question. Feel the answer."

Angela Gwinner

Trust your intuition. Trust that little voice.

Go into the sensation.

Go into the power of that instinct you were once born with.

It's never about knowing the answer. It's about feeling the answer.

Because deep within, you know... Trust yourself.

Your Time. Your Life.

"You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself, is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It's not like you have forever. So don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw even one of your moments away."

"What if our religion was each other, If our practice was our life and if prayer our words?

One Step. The First Step.

"The journey of a thousand miles 

begins with one step."

Lao Tzu

Start. Walking.

Bring yourself back into that essence and intuition of your first step as a child.

Nothing was able to hold you back.

It was instinct. It was curiosity.

And without knowing or understanding, you simply fought to take those steps.

Determined. And not submitting to fear.

That wasn't a word in your vocabulary.

You simply knew that you wanted to walk. To take that step.

As though there was a pull of the heart.

And even when you fell, you sat stunned for a moment.

But only for a moment. There may have been a few tears.

How quickly were those forgotten?

All you wanted to do was to stand up again. And to take another step.

Because you knew no other way.

Didn't you have a beautiful stubborness as a child?

And didn't you have a gorgeous faith and trust as a child?

You didn't question. You didn't doubt.

You simply responded to a pull, and a call and an urge...

To an instinct and an intuition.

And it is time to do that again.

Bring yourself back into that essence and intuition of your first step as a child.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Our Lives...

"Our lives are not as limited as we think they are. The world is a wonderfully weird place. Consensual reality is significantly flawed. No institution can be trusted, but love does work. All things are possible and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously."

Two Roads...

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by. That has made all the difference."

Robert Frost

Let this be our story in life...

One of the most powerful, personal and passionate quotes for me...

Words that have accompanied me for years.

Words that have accompanied me over oceans and miles.

And today, I needed to hold these words in my heart once again.
