An Angel’s Heart

Manipulate You

THIS IS EXCITING!!!

Hi Friends!

I’m starting a Creative Cluster in the Phoenix area where we will be going through the book ‘The Artist’s Way’, By: Julia Cameron. If you live in the Phoenix area and are interested in joining this Creative Cluster, please leave a comment below so I can see approximately how many are interested.

This will be a 12 Week Course where we will be going through ‘The Artist’s Way’ together. We will meet as a group once a week for 2-3 hours and go through the tasks together. The outline of the 12 weeks will be as follows:

Week 1: Recovering a Sense of Safety
Week 2: Recovering a Sense of Identity
Week 3: Recovering a Sense of Power
Week 4: Recovering a Sense of Integrity
Week 5: Recovering a Sense of Possibility 
Week 6: Recovering a Sense of Abundance
Week 7: Recovering a Sense of Connection
Week 8: Recovering a Sense of Strength
Week 9: Recovering a Sense of Compassion
Week 10: Recovering a Sense of Self-Protection
Week 11: Recovering a Sense of Autonomy
Week 12: Recovering a Sense of Faith

This book changed my life drastically over 3 years ago, and has continued to bring life to my own creative process over and over. If you’ve already read the book… even more reason to join this Creative Cluster. 😉

The cost of this course: $0

Hope to see you soon! XO

Library Ladders & Dreams

“If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories — science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.” 
― Ray Bradbury 

CRAZY.

I hope you think I’m crazy.
I hope you think I’m crazy.
I hope you think I’m crazy.

You should date a girl who reads.

Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she has found the book she wants. You see that weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a secondhand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow and worn.

To truly laugh…

. . .you must be able to take your pain, and play with it.

It’s time to get back in the game.
It’s time to p l a y.

a quarter of a year

Three months equals one quarter of a year. 90 days ago, we started talking  again.

Off. On. Off. On. Off. On— Yawn!

Hello. Goodbye. I hate you. Get over it. Don’t cry. Hello. Hello. Goodbye.

One quarter of a year I realize I have wasted. It makes me think time means nothing to you. It’s like chewing bubblegum on a careless day, it doesn’t register in your brain, just as I never registered in your heart.

sit   and   wait.

My Word

One day your girlfriend will wistfully walk the rows of a bookstore, where she will fall upon words— I wrote.

She will remember her past love, and tenderly whisper,
“This is how I felt. How could another, so far away
put into word,  my own heart…?”

But she won’t know, each was your word— stolen, from my heart,
and now—
she is reading us.
