A Queen...

"A Queen is wise. She has earned her serenity. not by having had it bestowed on her, but by having passed her tests. She has suffered and grown more beautiful because of it. She has proved she can hold her kingdom together. She has become its vision. She cares deeply about something bigger than herself. And she rules with authentic power."

Advice for a Human.

"But know this. Men are not from Mars. Women are not from Venus. Do not fall for categories. Because everyone is everything. And every ingredient inside a star is inside you, and every personality that ever existed competes in the theatre of your mind for the main role."

Now You Know...

"I wish I had known from the beginning that I was born a strong woman. What a difference it would have made. I wish I had known that I was born a courageous woman. I have spent so much of my life cowering. How many conversations would I not only have started, but finished if I had known I possessed a warrior's heart? I wish I had known that I was born to take on the world. I wouldn't have run from it for so long, rather I would have run to it and embraced it with open arms. Now I know."

Sarah Ban Breathnach

Dear beautiful women... Now you know.

And it is time to embrace yourself and the world.

Much Loves, Angela.

That French Habit...

"I am in favour of preserving the French habit of kissing the hands of ladies. 

After all, one must start somewhere."

Sacha Guitry

I feel an intention of the day should be kisses...

Whether to bravely and spontaneously kiss a stranger.

Or to simply live as though you are kissing life. French kissing that is.

Blow kisses. Whisper kisses. Caress kisses.

It's good for your health. And so many other things.

It will change your entire day. Miracously. Into something wonderful.

And yes, that French habit...

Men, start somewhere. And surprise the women of this world.

Much Loves,

Angela.

For all the Beautiful Women of Life...

Dedicated, to all you beautiful women...

There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself, who knows she is capable of anything that she puts her mind to. There is a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path, who is not thrown off by obstacles along the way. There is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences. A woman who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and carry on.

Phenomenal Woman... Maya Angelou.

Maya Angelou. 

Phenomenal Woman

"Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me."

Courage...

"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them."

You Know the Answer...

Anyone with me on this?

"When a woman asks a question, she already knows the answer. And the reason that we ask, is that we cannot believe that we know the answer. We want someone else to tell us something that we can't believe is true. So when you ask, you know. And given that, do yourself a favour and stop asking someone who doesn't know."
