“It's Never Too Late…to Celebrate Yourself.

Everything you’ve done deserves your favorable awareness.
Be it your relationships, your successes and your triumphant failures. They all led you here.
Today, pause to recognize and celebrate the big things and little things.
You accomplished them.
Turn your attention inward and cheer for the things you have yet to bring forth. Accept them as done.
Celebrate all that you are made of and who you are becoming.
You are worth it.”
― Emmanuella Raphaelle

“I am to be loved, honored and respected solely because I exist. I am to be cherished, spoiled, celebrated because I Am! I was made to be admired.
I am a beloved child of God after all.”
― Emmanuella Raphaelle, After the Affair: Re-Membering

“You are a living epistle. The world around you is watching how you live, how you love, how you handle loved ones and treat strangers; how you reveal the Greater One in you in faith and failure. Your life is preaching to someone--young, old, black, white, rich or common. You are a walking scripture. Watch the unspoken words you convey. For the watchers, the readers; they are concluding. They are believing or doubting--based on you!”
― Emmanuella Raphaelle

“It takes gumption to wake up every day to face the fickle world and cleave to your morals and values
Not flinch at the slightest inflection of disrespect or disdain from wild ones
to not give in and mimic the mockery of blending in void of integrity
Standing resplendent among the dull and dirty ones who are no longer enthralled with the light of living
Who’ve renounced their identity for worldy pleasures
It takes audacity to live individually, intellectually, compassionately in your own way
Do it anyway!”
― Emmanuella Raphaelle
