Get Through Anything

“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

― Stephen Richards, Cosmic Ordering: You can be successful
“People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.”
― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience
“Dreams don’t work unless you take action. The surest way to make your dreams come true is to live them.”
― Roy T. Bennett
“It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses, we must plant more roses.”
― George Eliot
“Yes We Can!”

“When you connect to the silence within you, that is when you can make sense of the disturbance going on around you.”

“Life is a bowl of cherries. Some cherries are rotten while others are good; its your job to throw out the rotten ones and forget about them while you enjoy eating the ones that are good! There are two kinds of people: those who choose to throw out the good cherries and wallow in all the rotten ones, and those who choose to throw out all the rotten ones and savor all the good ones.”
― C. JoyBell C.
“Being brave enough to be alone frees you up to invite people into your life because you want them and not because you need them.”
― Mandy Hale, The Single Woman: Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass
“Life is such unutterable hell, solely because it is sometimes beautiful. If we could only be miserable all the time, if there could be no such things as love or beauty or faith or hope, if I could be absolutely certain that my love would never be returned: how much more simple life would be. One could plod through the Siberian salt mines of existence without being bothered about happiness. Unfortunately the happiness is there. There is always the chance (about eight hundred and fifty to one) that another heart will come to mine. I can’t help hoping, and keeping faith, and loving beauty. Quite frequently I am not so miserable as it would be wise to be.”
― T.H. White, Ghostly, Grim and Gruesome
“Mind is a flexible mirror, adjust it, to see a better world.”
― Amit Ray, Mindfulness Living in the Moment – Living in the Breath

Gucci’s Fall 2020 Collection Was All Types of American Gothic

Gucci is certainly the buzziest show at Milan Fashion Week. For the brand’s Fall/Winter 2020 collection “An Unpredictable Ritual,” Creative Director Alessandro Michele went in a more somber direction. Rather than the geek-chic aesthetic we’ve come to love from the Italian house, this year saw mixed Pilgrim-era looks and Victorian-inspired designs with subversive undertones of bondage and religion.

Get a closer look at Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2020 collection…

Miss Ghoul Isn’t Down and Out…

I know I have said I would be updating my art portfolio and would be posting more of my artwork. But with my full-time job, kids starting their summer vacation and working on my novel, along with writing for Coffee House Writers, I have been putting my illustration projects on the back burner.

I have a few art pieces being slowly made but they are nowhere from being complete. In two weeks, I will be taking my summer week vacation starting June 17th. I’m going to take this time to get some new art supplies and create some pieces.

The sun shines through the grey clouds,
Happiness shine through your eyes,
I just want to sing and shout,
Sweet melody is your voices,
It sings to me,
Like the morning sun,
My problems and fears wash away,
In the sunrise ocean,
This morning with you brings me happiness and joy,
The sunshine of your eyes,
Brings me new light…

~Sun Shines~
