A Thought For 2008
[ 1 January 2008 ]
“When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your objective. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Super-love & cupcakes,

Dear Gala,
Don’t ever stop being awesome and inspiring. I’ve always wanted to use the word “Fantabulous” and that quote is fantabulous.
Happy 2008! It is going to be fab!
All the best,

“...and so who shall measure the heat and violence of a poets heart, when caught and tangled in a womans body.— virgina wolf”
and who could imagine to measure it, when it’s caught in such a stylish fashonista!

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t to forget make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.” – Neil Gaiman
Happy New Year, Gala!!!

Dearest Gala, ~*
For The New Year, I made a “treasure map” of the things I want to focus on in the coming months. (A treasure map is a poster/book/something filled with pictures words and thoughts to help you concentrate on what you want-Google for more info). This quote is the perfect addition to it! Thank you for all of your daily inspiration!

I think I need to print this out (or better yet, write it out by hand on some fun paper) and stick it right by my computer. In fact… might be a better reminder for ’08 than a long list of resolutions (that I feel bound to fulfill!)!! :) Hooray for an enthusiastic New Year!!
so much great stuff and that illustration at the top is beautiful.
but..
a remake of grey gardens? w drew barrymore? it was a documentary! how can you remake a documentary w hollywood stars instead of real people?
Dear Gala,
I found your website in the beggining of august while looking up feng shui for my new dorm room and wow i was so a taken and glad to see that there is someone so bright and energetic out there, someone passionate about so many things. i come back to your site for advice or just to cheer me up. thank you so much for putting yourself out there in such a creative way!!
Would you believe that quote is on the wall at my gym over the mirror?
