Make Your Life a Love Story...

"Let today be a day where you take nothing for granted. For life is fleeting, fragile and precious and can change on a whim. Say all the things you really want to say to your loved ones today, say the things you would regret should they pass on and your words remain unspoken. Rejoice, for you and they are alive today. And should you or them pass on to unknown shores, rejoice even more for you have a wonderful love story to tell."

Kneel at the altar of Not Knowing...

"Leave everything undefined, including yourself. 

Befriend uncertainty. Fall in love with mystery. 

Kneel at the altar of Not Knowing. 

Give your questions time to breathe. 

The answers will find you."

Jeff Foster

These words very much hold the essence of one of my favourite quotes from Rainer Maria Rilke, and possibly, that is where the inspiration was born...

But so beautifully written, so beautifully said... Rilke would have felt honoured.

And yes, these words are the words that danced with me today... And yesterday, and possibly tomorrow as well...

"Kneel at the altar of Not Knowing..."

A sacred, and holy ground to stand... Bringing out the powerful virtue of trust and faith and hope.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Doing It All For Love...

The Significance of You...

"You will feel the most significant experience, you will become ecstatic if you can feel that the whole existence needs you, that you will be missed, that if you are not here there will be a gap. You will be missed. You are not unnecessary. You are not superfluous. You have tremendous significance. Hence, love yourself. You are needed as much as the trees, as the flowers, as the birds, and as the sun, as the moon, as the stars. You have a reason to be here and you have a right to be the way you are."

Osho

Have you ever thought, that if you were not here, everything in this world would be different?

Just like the butterfly speading its wings can cause for a wind to blow thousands of miles away. Every word you speak, every step you take and every example you set, can do just the same. And you'll never know the power and the potential you have in that, until you simply trust these words. And see your purpose in that. It is why you are here. With reason.

Because life is all woven together. And nothing is without purpose.

Like a butterfly. Spread your wings. Beautifully.

Much Loves,

Angela.

More Love in the World...

"I think there should be more love in the world. I am talking about gritty, dangerous, wild eyed love. Radical acceptance of people. Belonging. That kind of love."

Brené Brown

Yes, more Love in the world please!

And I'll let it start with me...

And let it start with you!

Angela.
