Be inspired by others
but don’t hide in their shadows.
Spirit created you to shine
It gave you everything you need
and will provide more as you allow.
You, my child, are an artist of life.
It’s time to let your spirit sparkle.
– Paula Onysko

Mistakes are the portals of discovery. — James Joyce

Soul: Because the pressure is off.
Paula: What pressure?
Soul: The pressure you place on yourself. Paula, the creativity you love and thrive on doesn’t fit into a box. It is as […]

I love, love, LOVE when juice flows to me to share with you….

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old […]

That’s the matinée I lost myself in yesterday. I loved it. Yes, it’s a chick flick, by traditional standards of movie categorization. But I’m not into keeping track of those sorts of details.

I love quotes that remind me to savour the journey…
Mining the moment for something that feels good, something to appreciate, something to savor, something to take in, that’s what your moments are about. They’re not about justifying your existence.
