- "May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art-- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can; and i hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."
- "Sometimes all you can do is not think. Not wonder. Not obsess. Not imagine. Just breathe. Breathe in, breathe out. Everything works out in the end, and the more time you spend worrying about it, the longer it takes for things to end perfectly.. just the way they should."
- "Isn't it nice to know that you haven't yet laughed, all that you'll laugh? That you haven't yet met, some of your very best friends? And that you haven't yet dreamed, all that you'll manifest? That all bridges will be mended? That all sadness will be healed? And that life never ends? That all of your challenges will be won? That all of your triumphs will be shared? And that the difference you'll make, has already begun? Well, it is for me, because I also know that if you don't see these things yet, you will. Could it get any better?"
- "I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down."
- "It's not about what happened in the past, or what you think might happen in the future. It's about the ride. And you know what...when you least expect something great might come along. Something better than you even planned for."
- Eat that damn chocolate cake, get your hair wet, love someone, dance in those muddy puddles, tell someone off, draw a picture with crayons like you're still 6 years old and then give it to someone who is very important to you. Take a nap, go on vacation, do a cartwheel, make your own recipe, dance like no one sees you, paint each nail a different color, take a bubble bath, laugh at a corny joke. Get on that table and dance, pick strawberries, take a jog, plant a garden, make an ugly shirt and wear it all day, learn a new language, write a song, date someone you wouldn't usually go for, make a scrap book, go on a picnic, relax in the sun, make your own home video, kiss the un-kissed, hug the un-hugged, love the unloved, and live our life to the fullest. So when you're standing in front of heaven's gate that chosen day, you'll have no regrets, no sorrows, no disappointments.
- "be thankful for every heartbreak, for they were planned. they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. their purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions,break your heart open so new light can get in,make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life. and you do. this storm will pass, youll be ready for the next one."
