“May all beings in all worlds be happy and free” has got to be my favorite quote these days. I love a good quote. In a fluffy, hypothetical world I would wake up every morning, make myself a coffee, eat a zero-calorie chocolate croissant (a girl can dream), saunter over to my laptop and google-search inspirational quotes that I could write on my hand-made framed chalk board (which, I have not created yet) in hopes that said quote resonates with me for the entire day, thus heightening my mood and productivity. In reality, most mornings my mind is focused elsewhere, like getting out of the door on time. So, I usually revert to this quote when I need a little inspiration, which is fine because I’m totally in love with it. It’s pure, simple and beautiful 🙂 just like this pasta. Enjoy!
