15 favourites from my tweets in 2011
- Sometimes I find the greatest inspiration in simple truth & honesty.
- Sometimes you just have to click send. Sometimes you just have to say ‘it’. Sometimes you just have to take a risk. Life is a leap of faith!
- It seems the universe is shaking things up! Chaos brings an opportunity to clean up & clear out our lives, perhaps with beneficial results.
- Like art, what makes a quote or saying valuable is not whether it is right or wrong, good or bad, but that it makes you think.
- Words dance in the poet’s head to express what the soul knows, the heart feels & the body demands. Know, embrace, honour, claim! It’s yours.
- I wish for eloquence & wisdom to express the gift your sacred self is. What I have is raw emotion & simple words: embrace your sexuality.
- I didn’t earn my vegan-gf-copy-cat-lemon-loaf badge but a badge in odd-edible-creations-I’d-never-make-again-even-if-i-could. yummy though
- Chaos demands we pay attention to life as things get turned upside down & inside out. Death is the great bringer of chaos.
- Sometimes a kiss is like a sigh of contentment.
- Clarity & focus have found me. Or perhaps I them. Walking together in the midst of change makes the path more visible & much smoother.
- The most basic path to the best sex is self care, self awareness and self love.
- I am alive with erotic energy, my cells dance and transform, my being shifts and expands. The vibration hums at a new frequency.
- It feels so good to be alive. I know I am fully living when I feel the flow of sexual energy in my body; every cell feels electric.
- Sink or Swim learning does have its benefits – staying dry is not one of them.
- I am so blessed to have people in my life that challenge me to push my edges and step into my power!
