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."

Nora Roberts

Understanding Life...


"When I was five years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I did not understand the assignment. And I told them they did not understand life."

John Lennon

You are Beautiful...


"You are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. 
And you are beautiful."

Amy Bloom

Declare Your Passion...


"Do not ask yourself what the world needs. 
Ask yourself what makes you come alive. And  then go do that. 
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Howard Thurman

you would never think a negative thought."

Cast Your Stones...


"I alone can not change the world. 
But I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."

Mother Teresa 

Cast your stones... Start beautiful little ripples.

They can become tsunamis of change.

Much Loves,

Angela.

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."

Oprah Winfrey

Yes, Please...


"I am thinking that all it takes to make a fantasy 
become a reality are two words. Yes, Please."

Maya Stein

Remember these two words... Yes please.

It doesn't always have to be a struggle. Or a forced effort.

I like to think that the secret's secret is in the simplicity of ease.

And of trust.

Just like saying "Yes, please"...

When a dear friend asks you if you'd like another cup of coffee.

And of course, never to forget the words...

"Thank you."

It doesn't always have to be a struggle. Or a forced effort.

Try the simplicity of ease.

And "Yes, Please."

Cultivate the habit. Nurture the ritual.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Life...


"In the end these things matter most. 
How well did you love? How full did you live? How deep did you let go?"

Buddha

Love and Compassion...


"I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion. 
And where it is not, that is where my work lies."

Ram Dass

Embracing Angels...


"Do not forget to be kind to strangers, for by doing so, 
some people have embraced Angels without knowing it."

Hebrews 13:2

Because you never ever know...

Treasures are always where you least expect to find them.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Touch the Stars...


"Every fool knows you can't touch the stars. 
But it does not stop a wise man from trying."

Harry Anderson

Go on. Step out there.
Raise your hands, your heart and your head high...
And yearn to touch those stars.

Much Loves,

Angela.

but we can do small things with great Love."

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."

Gilda Radner

Letting Go...


"Holding on is believing that there is only a past. 
Letting go is knowing that there is a future."

Daphne Rose Kingma
