Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart ...

“Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

This month’s quote is from the wise and most wonderful Elizabeth Gilbert!! She is famous for her memoir, “Eat, Pray, Love” which is a truly inspiring read. However she has contributed so much more inspiring and passionate words about living a creative life. Her most recently contributions can be found in her Letters from Love on Substack.

This month’s quote comes from another of her books, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear. This is one of those books that I return to when I need a reminder to just CREATE!! If you haven’t read anything by her I highly recommend reading some.

Happy May, thank you & peace, Virginia

 “Forever – is composed of Nows – (690)


Forever – is composed of Nows –
‘Tis not a different time –
Except for Infiniteness –
And Latitude of Home –

From this – experienced Here –
Remove the Dates – to These –
Let Months dissolve in further Months –
And Years – exhale in Years –

Without Debate – or Pause –
Or Celebrated Days –
No different Our Years would be
From Anno Dominies –”

― Emily Dickinson, The Poems of Emily Dickinson (Goodreads)

Work hard, play hard, dream big, love loads ... and give back!

Work hard, play hard, dream big, love loads, laugh as much as you can, and give back.
