Invent your world. Surround yourself with people, color, sounds, and work that nourish you.
So here we are, in our rare and precious lives, surrounded by gorgeous moments begging to be noticed and celebrated. Go! Celebrate!
You are sublimely, exactly, how you need to be at this moment.
The way to accomplish the assignment of truly living is to engage fully, richly, and deeply in the living of your dreams. We are made to dream and to live those dreams.
In the midst of our daily lives, we must find the juice to nourish our creative souls.
We compliment weight loss, monitor our appetites, and shrink ourselves to fit some kind of standard. I wish we could all be the size we actually are. One size doesn't fit all because there are as many sizes as there are women. Let's look closer at the size of our hearts, the width of our souls, and the length of our spirits.
When we focus on the song of our soul and heart, then others will be touched similarly. Sometimes people wonder or worry whether people will like or approve of their creative expression. It's none of your business. It's your business to stay present and focused for the work of your deepest dreams. It might look crooked or strange, or be very odd- but if it delights you, then it is yours, and will find its way into other hearts.
There is no control and perfection is arrogant. Practice messiness, letting go, and doing things badly.
It's like an emotional dance party: Some dances will be your favorites -- others more awkward or difficult to learn. Some will be boring or make you mad. some you will wish you never needed to do again. But AHA! You think. I will dance all the dances I can.
Cheer up every person you interact with (including yourself).
Buy or borrow self-improvement books, but don't read them. Stack them around your bedroom and use them as places to rest bowls of cookies.Watch exercise shows on television, but don't do the exercises. Practice believing that the benefit lies in imagining yourself doing the exercises.Don't power walk. Saunter slowly in the sun, eating chocolate, and carry a blanket so you can take a nap.
Stand tall, laugh loudly, and be who you truly are
No matter how dry and tame and nice we live, we will die. We will also suffer along the way. Living wild is it's own reward.
Be an electric eel in a goldfish pond!
There is room for us all to be how we actually are.
My intention is to live more fully each moment with who - how - I actually am, not who I imagine I will be one day.
I absolutely trust that every animal and person has their own very necessary journey.
Learn to be a radiant human, and then shine on others.
Nourish your eye and spirit with inspiring things. They will bloom with your tending.
You are always on your way to a miracle.
I am astonished by the amount and quality of love that is available if we will ask, and participate and show up for life.
Building your "dream life" is filled with things that can feel like the opposite of a dream: Mistakes Delays Starting over Failure The building part is actually more of a rebuilding that is a continual process. The building is not linear in nature but far more interesting. You might start a creative dream, take the "next step", and find yourself completely bored, dissatisfied, or just not inspired.
You are outrageously wonder-full and deserve to be celebrated!
Fill your life with tiny and large adventurous moments.
Love imperfectly. Be a love idiot. Let yourself forget any love ideal.
