Let Your Light Shine...

"As we let our light shine, 

we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. 

As we are liberated from our own fear, 

our presence actually liberates others."

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.

The First Step...

"The first step to living the life you want is leaving the life you don’t want. Taking the first step forward is always the hardest. But then each step forward gets easier and easier. And each step forward gets you closer and closer until eventually, what had once been invisible starts to be visible. And what once felt impossible starts to feel possible."

Dare to Change Something...

Dare to change something today.

Whether it's drinking a tea, instead of a morning coffee.

Whether it's taken a different en route on your way to work.

Or maybe daring to wear that dress, you haven't yet dared to wear.

Or simply daring yourself to do just that. Dare yourself.


There is something liberating in change.

It enhances our courage.

And it all starts. with just that smallest change.

That one thing, we often take forgranted. Or underestimate.

That little change, that we often think won't make a difference.


Well, let me tell you. It does.

You might not see that difference today. And maybe not tomorrow.

Maybe you'll never know the difference it made.

But it does. It does. It does.

It does all makes a difference.

And in a small and gentle way, you are changing a world.

Your world. Our world.

It all begins with change. That small personal dare.

Dare to change something today.

Break Free...

Break Free.

Simple words, powerful words.

Maya Fiennes wrote those words as her resolution for this year.

And here we are, today. And the new year already feels so far away.

We may have forgotten a few of those promises made to ourselves.

And there is no need to shame for that. Today itself, it is a new day.

And it is this day that matters, this moment that matters.

It's not just the year, but every single moment and day.

So let's Break Free. Free of shame or guilt.

Break Free of past beliefs. Free of once upon a time.

(If it was an unhappy ending.)

Break free from a cage. Just to dare ourselves to fly.

Break Free of doubt. Free of fear.

Break Free of what holds us down, holds us back.

Break Free of whatever it is you decide, you want to be free from.

What a powerful liberty. What a beautiful choice.

Now let's see you run with that.

And I'll see you and meet you there. Flying... and Free.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Random Thoughts... You Have a Choice.

"You have a choice.
You always have a choice. Always."

Angela Gwinner

Reflecting on words of a conversation yesterday. Someone close to the heart telling me, "I didn't have a choice."

I heard those words on the surface and the conversation carried on and then suddenly I realised. Stop. Rewind. Go back a moment.

Did you just say, you didn't have a choice?

Maybe in that moment, I didn't hear those words. Rather I heard all the times in the past in which I spoke those words myself.

And I suddenly I realised how wrong those words are.

We have a choice. We always have a choice. Always.


I have a choice when I decide what I'm going to wear in the morning. I have a choice when I'm sitting at the café, declaring which coffee I want to have.

I have a choice when I see the homeless man sitting on the bridge, whether or not to give him a dollar. Or to smile at him to say "I see you, hello."

Or simply to walk on by, as though I didn't see him at all.

I have a choice when someone hurts me, on how I respond.

I can bend down to their niveau and throw hurt back, or I can rise above them.

With magestic dignity and greatness. And with calmity.

That choice is my ability to respond.

And that word in itself already says it all. My ability to respond is "My responsibility".

I have a choice when something doesn't go as planned. I can mourn. I can complain.

I can throw a tantrum like a little child that didn't get that toy they wanted.

Or I can give it another go. I can make the choice to see it as a treasure map hunt and that was the wrong clue.

Or I can simply decide that maybe, just maybe, that wasn't meant to be after all.

Something better is on the way. And that situation was just one of the stepping stones needed.

So suddenly I realised the defeat in those words "I didn't have a choice."

That in itself, was a choice as well.

So maybe that is how we have to perceive each moment. As a choice.

And with the same simplicity, as choosing what I want to wear, what I want to eat.

Asking myself in each moment, is this how I want to feel? Is this where I want to be?

Is this how I want to respond? Is this how I want to tell the world "This is who I am."?

I have a choice to change, or not to change. I have a choice to love, or not to love.

I have a choice to receive, or to keep my hands and heart closed.

I have a choice. And I can decide.

You have a choice. And you can decide.

We always have a choice. Always.


Just my little thought of the day.

Much Loves,

Angela.
