January 7, 2016 by Alice

Change The Dialogue You Have With Yourself

December 17, 2015 by Alice

If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all – simple little words to live by. Being kind is one of the simplest acts, yet some find it so difficult. Sure you’re kind to your family and friends, but are you kind to the stranger who just bumped into you or the barista … [Read more…]

“Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t. Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.”
― Alan W. Watts
