How To Let People In

October 14, 2015 by Alice

“Expect nothing, and you will never be disappointed.” -Alexander Pope It is incredible how much you can learn about yourself from just one conversation when you open your mind and drop all expectations.

Autumn In Boston

October 13, 2015 by Alice

Boston is certainly one of my favorite cities in the U.S….of course I’m saying this as a former Bostonian. 🙂 I make it a point to visit as often as possible, especially during the fall season where I get to put on my pea coat and watch the season change.

“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
