Magic, dreams & good madness to you

 

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 forget to make some art—write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. May your coming year be a wonderful thing in which you dream both dangerously and outrageously.

I hope you will make something that didn’t exist before you made it, that you will be loved and you will be liked and you will have people to love and to like in return. And most importantly, because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now—I hope that you will, when you need to, be wise and that you will always be kind. And I hope that somewhere in the next year you surprise yourself.

~ Neil Gaiman, for 2010

Awesome words to live by.

I'm not so great at making art, but I'm already moving forward on making things that didn't exist before I made it. Yep, I love living dangerously and outrageously...

Happy New Year Lisa and everyone else...may 2012 be wonderful for all!

I really love those words by Neil Gaiman. He expresses how I feel in my heart. That's weird. And pretty cool. Happy Happy New Year, Lisa. Wishing you all the wonderful things expressed above. And more.
