Messages and Coincidences and Serendipities...

"The Universe is always speaking to us. sending us little messages, causing coincidences and creating serendipities, reminding us to stop and to look around. Reminding us to believe in something else, to believe in something more."

The First Time... The Last Time...

"One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, 

'What if I had never seen this before? 

And what if I knew i would never see this again?'"

Rachel Carson

Learning to see things in a different light. Learning to be aware, attentive, appreciative. Here. Now. This moment.

It's like this with all things in life, I believe.

Love as though you are loving for the first time. And loving for the last time. Embrace as though you are embracing for the first time. And embracing for the last time. Kiss that way too.

Laugh as though you are laughing for the first time. And laughing for the last time. Listen as though you are listening for the first time. And listening for the last time. See as though you are seeing the stars or a tree for the first time. And seeing for the last time. Touch that way too.

Stand in the middle of the world and reach your hands out high as though it were the first time. And as though it were the last time.

Each and every moment we are given, is simply once.

And once, is once and for all.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Bring on the Wonder!

"Bring on the Wonder!"

Angela Gwinner

Are you ready? I know I am.

And if you are ready too, then write it beautifully below...

"I am ready."

Proclaim it. Declare it. Shout it out.

I know I am ready to find the wonders. Hunt them high and low.

I am ready to be the wonder, for myself, a friend or a stranger.

I am ready to create them and celebrate them.

Each and every wonder.

"Bring on the wonder! Bring them on!"

Much Loves,

Feel a Prayer...

"Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray, I will tell you what I would do. I would go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I would look up into the sky. Up. Up. Up. Up into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I would just feel a prayer."

I Fall in Love...

"I fall in love everyday."

Angela Gwinner

I fall in love with life.

With the smile of a stranger. With moments of gratitude.

I fall in love with little wonders around me.

I fall in love with passion. My own passion.

And the passion I find in others.

I fall in love when I hear the morning birds sing..

I fall in love when I see the evening stars.

I fall in love everyday.

Let's fall in love today.

Full of Wonder...

"Look for the little wonders of life today."

Angela Gwinner

Look for the little wonders of life today.

Because that is when you find the magic.

The magic in those little wonders, that we often forget.

And often neglect.

Make it your purpose, to discover things today.

To see them with new eyes, as though for the first time.

Or even as though for the last time.

Things, that have already always been there before you.

And even within you.

Be on a treasure hunt today. Find those wonders. Everywhere.

And in everyone. Yourself included.


And don't forget to smile, and say thank you.

For each and every wonder.

Because that's when it begins.

Wonderful happens when you realise, life is full of wonder.

And more importantly, that you too, are full of wonder.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Take Time and Make Time...

Weekend Thought...

Take time. Make time.

For you. For life. For a cup of tea. For a nap.

For a walk in the woods. For a bath. With a glass of wine.

For a something on your list, that you've long wanted to do.

Take time. Make time.

For a dear friend. Or for making a work of art.

For writing a love letter. Especially to yourself.


It is time.

To make time. To take time.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Please Be a Traveler...

"Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what is right in front of you. Because those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in."

Andrew Zimmern

Are you a traveler in life?

Whether across oceans or countries, or simply in that place you find yourself right now?

Will you try to understand this amazing world you live in today...

As though you've just discovered it for the very first time?
