My little Gothic doll
in her purple dress and distressed jeans
Looks like a shadow dancer in a midnight scene
The blue streaks in her black hair
mimic the moonlit glare
Of a serene night in the middle of nowhere
She can hide her eyes as in masquerade
during the brightness of day
Open to the imagination of a young girl,
my little Gothic doll can live in any world
And even though I have phased out of the naїveté
of the elapsed days of child's play,
One day a daughter of mine
will bring my little Gothic doll back to life

Life surprises you! And I'm talking about the good stuff, because a bad surprise is not a surprise at all, it is just shock and horror. All of these good surprises, they are rewards, and the things that happen to remind you that you matter and that you should make yourself faithful so that you can be deserving of all of life's good surprises. Every wonderful surprise in life is a chance to flourish, so grab life by the horns-but don't ride, steer instead: life's horns are life's joystick. You can handle it, because your life's horns are made especially for you. If you don't give up, all of this will hold true and life will continue to surprise you.

The most painful good-byes are the ones you don't get to say.
A true hero lives valiantly yet welcomes his own death when the time comes.
One who never ceases to give love will never cease to be truly rich and happy.

Care more than others think is wise.
Dream more than others think is practical.
Expect more than others think is possible."

"Dance as though no one is watching.
Love as though you've never been hurt.
Sing as though no one can hear you.
Live as though heaven is on earth.”

"Life is a game: play it.
Life is a challenge: meet it.
Life is a dream: realize it.
Life is a sacrifice: offer it.
Life is love: enjoy it."-Sai Baba
Be yourself: even actors cannot truly become their characters.
Reality is stranger than fiction. I make fiction strange like reality as I try to make sense of my reality.
You are most sane when you are at peace with your own mind but the majority of others believe that you are off your rocker.
Give yourself a soubriquet: a soubriquet to swear by and behind which you cannot hide.
Perfect English just ain't perfect English without that good ol' down-home slanguage.
Shock the world even when the world does not shock you!
Aubri, a. k. a. "Leopard Lady"
