Trust Me...

"But it is also true that the person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing. All we know about the future is that it will be different. But perhaps what we fear is that it will be the same. So we must celebrate the changes, because, as someone once said, everything will be all right in the end. And if it is not all right, then trust me, It is not yet... The End."

The Power to Love...

And if we do so, we change the kind of person we are, 

and we change the kind of world we live in."

Cast Your Stones...

But I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."

Cast your stones... Start beautiful little ripples.

They can become tsunamis of change.

Waiting on God...

"You are responsible for your life. And if you’re sitting around waiting on somebody to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time, because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward.

What matters is now, this moment and your willingness to see this moment for what it is. Accept it. Forgive the past. Take responsibility and move forward.

I came to realize that all the time I was praying to God, asking for God to do something, God was waiting on me."

Delicious Ambiguity...

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I have learned, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories  don’t  have  a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what is going to happen next. It is a delicious ambiguity."

it is a different kind of life."

The Importance of You...

"If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet. How important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of your self that you leave at every encounter with another. "

Fred Roger

Promise never to forget, how beautifully important you are.

Accept. And Then Act.

"Accept. And then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend not your enemy.  This will miraculously transform your whole life."

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."

Make Mistakes... Holy. Powerful. Beautiful. Sacred.

"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You are doing things you have never done before, and more importantly, you are doing something. So that is my wish for you, and all of us. And my wish for myself. Make new mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody has ever made before. Do not freeze, do not stop, do not worry that it is not good enough, or it is not perfect, whatever it is. Art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you are scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes. Next year and forever and ever."

Neil Gaimann

Holy. Powerful. Beautiful. Sacred.

And here is to a New Year... And loving our mistakes.

It's all about our perfect imperfections.

And our imperfect perfections.

Of living. And loving. And being.

Much Loves,

Angela.

What Are You Going to Do...?

"Life is not about expecting, hoping and wishing. it is about doing, being and becoming. It is about the choices you have just made, and the ones you are about to make. it is about the things you choose to say. Today. And it is about what you are going to do after you finish reading this."

Shake the World... Gently.

"In a gentle way, you can shake the world."

Mahatma Gandhi

One of the quotes, that shakes me. Beautifully. And passionately.

And words that have followed me, and guided me. For years.

And maybe in a way, it's the nurturing thought that flames "My Beautiful Words" and "WUNDERWORT by Angela". And my visions, my dreams. All that it is, that I believe in.

And maybe it's what I want to inspire each of you to do. To shake this world, in a gentle, compassionate, but full of life and love kind of way.

Will you shake with me?

Much Loves,

Angela.
