girls in peacetime want to dance

Nothing could deprive her of abundant creativity, she was personally responsible for her life's direction and was aware of that. She didn't believe in karma. She believed karma was a misunderstanding, an outdate concept outside the reality that we are in total control. It was long ago that she stopped believing that things do things to you, she was part of the shift. 

The artist that takes responsibility for all their life experiences is an artist in complete control. Because thought is the creative level of things, changing our minds is the ultimate personal empowerment.

Thought trumps physical laws every time. With prayer, you can bend all the physical laws you see before you.

SXSW

I am filled with gratitude for Austin and SXSW. To return to nature, to wake up in the morning to the sounds of birds -- this is living. 

In New York, I am so far removed from all these things. I'm in a constant state of conquering. In Austin, I was able to put people and nature first. My first morning, I walked through the house, smelling the roses and singing. I finished half a book on the flight there called, "A Return to Love." 

SXSW was a bit of a returning for me. To remember what it was like when human interaction and nature came first. I easily lose these things in the grip of New York. Ideas flow more freely and my heart is filled with the love for people around me first. 

I'm an artist and a romantic, and I know that. I know not everyone can bring themselves to the simplicity that my mind achieves at times. There are too many bills to pay, and things to worry about to every be as romantic as someone like me. But I do believe that when we let ourselves go there, we come back more alive that before.

If you had such a dream, would you get up and do the things you believe in? 

I've already crossed the line, he asked me if i'm single, going steady? But I'm married to my sound, my books, my art. 

Listening to Belle and Sebastian on a weekday afternoon, can you stay in the silence of a song with me? 

Lately it seems like you can find all the words to say what you mean, and I have none. I'm comfortable in the silence of my own contemplation. I think it's because before, I had said too much. I don't feel the need to explain myself anymore, my art does that for me.

nobody's empire

We'll make our own Chelsea Hotel, a place that is always evolving, much like ourselves. 

The artist is unpredictable. Sweethearts who sleep apart. I revel in the mornings I get to wake up and make things with you, it is precious as it is infrequent. 

If you're ever feeling blue - write another song, make another painting. Teach me guitar, I'll take your picture. All the good looking boys are taken, all the pretty girls are staying inside. 

Dressed up in you, met a boy who's just like me. A manic array of ideas, a million things he wants to create. We are the same in our sentiments, in our view of the world. They write books about kids like us, so ignorant of the odds.

Rocking this incredible jacket from pretty attitude, and feeling ready for the weekend. It fits me perfect - and being the badass that I am, I paired it with leather moto pants. 

Use the link to shop the look and I hope you all have an amazing weekend. I'm looking forward to catching up on some prayer and meditation, as well as some painting and finding a new book to read. 

love to all of you
