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."

Ask. Step Forward. Dare.

"If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it. If you do not ask, the answer is always no. If you do not step forward, you are always in the same place."

You Are a Superhero...

"A Superhero is someone who invites her wisest, bravest, most alive self to come out and play. This doesn’t mean having all the answers, being unshakably strong or performing dramatic feats of heroism. It means being someone like you and someone like me. Someone who is anxious and uncertain. Someone who wants to live a juicy, full, courageous life, but doesn’t always know how. And someone who understands that vulnerability just might be the greatest superpower of all."

Be Brave...

"Be Brave. Without bravery, you will never know the world as richly as it longs to be known. Without bravery, your life will remain small, far smaller than you probably wanted your life to be."

Allow Yourself to be Seen...

"This is what I have learned. We must allow ourselves to be seen. Deeply seen. And vulnerably seen. We must allow ourselves to love with our whole hearts, even though there is no guarantee. And to practise gratitude and joy, even in those moments of fear and when we are wondering, "Can I love you this much?". Because to feel vulnerable means you are alive. Believe that you are enough."

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.

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.

Why Wait?

"Why wait? Life is not a dress rehearsal. 

Quit practicing what you’re going to do, and just do it. 

In one bold stroke you can transform today."

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."
