By the Grace of God, I Will...

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will."

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."

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."

Waking Up With New Dreams...

"Everyday I wake up with new dreams and I ask 

God to bring the right things and people in and take the wrong things out, 

and to lead and direct me. And that has always kept me sane."

Like Shakespeare and Michelangelo...

"And when you discover what you will be in your life, set out to do it as if God Almighty called you at this particular moment in history to do it. Don’t just set out to do a good job. Set out to do such a good job that the living, the dead or the unborn couldn’t do it any better. If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well."

Martin Luther King Jr.

Whatever you are going to do today?

Do it like Michelangelo painted pictures.

And do it like Shakespeare wrote poetry.

Awe the world with your passion!

Much Loves,

Angela.

Shine. And Manifest.

"We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone."

The Imagination of God...

"Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything."

Henry Miller

I can't remember exactly when I first read these words. But it does go a many few years back. Teenager years. But I will never forget the passion these words gave me, and ignited in me.

And I believe, much of what I do today, and my ongoing love for words and the power of words, I can attribute to the emotion and intensity of this beautiful quote.

To this day, and most likely forever more, it remains one of my personal favourite quotes, of many. But this one, holds a special place. Like the first kiss would hold a special place.

It was the start of a loving relationship... with words.

Much Loves,

Angela.

The Definition of Forgiving...

The Definition of Forgiving...

"Forgiving is for giving yourself Love. Forgiving is for giving yourself Respect. 

Forgiving is for giving yourself Strength. Forgiving is for Giving.

And I also believe, forgiving is for giving yourself Freedom.
And Power. It is Dignity. Forgiving is Noble. It is Grace. And Godlike."

The Wisdom...

"You do not have to wait for wisdom to befall you in order to know what move to make now. The wisdom, the insight, the answer you have been waiting for is waiting for you. It is already inside of you. In fact, you may have already ‘heard’ it and not believed it. If you want to be clear about this answer, simply write your question, situation or problem down on a piece of paper tonight. Then pick up the paper in the morning and compose a calm, wisdom filled response. And do not be surprised if you surprise yourself with the answer you receive."

Coincidence....

"Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous."

Albert Einstein

That explains it all. Because really...

Nothing is ever just a coincidence.

It's all part of a beautifully woven tapestry.

It's all part of a divine master plan.

And one day, with a glance back over our shoulder, we'll understand.

Nothing is ever just a coincidence.

That Heroic First Step...

"I have found that you have only to take that one step toward the Gods and they will then take ten steps toward you. That step, the heroic first step of the journey, is out of, or over the edge of your boundaries. and it often must be taken before you know that you will be  supported."
