Here it is in text:
Fall In Love With Yourself. | Buy ranunculus just because. | SAY ‘NO’ MORE; ‘PLEASE’ AND ‘THANK YOU.’ | Do Not Pass on Your Passions>>GO and Collect 10,000 hours. | Bedpost them over your head—see and dream it everyday. | Study those who are great and the rules they make to be the stars they are. Now go be be Exceptional to the Rule. | Steep yourself in greatness tea it will flavor you.| Befriend your mentors—make ‘friendtors'. | If they touch your life, stay in touch. | Your time, money, & attention is intention. Give Wisely. Be Present. Savor what you ingest. Slow down to digest. | God and puns are everywhere. Let God be the ‘risen’ you look up (and down). | Stay curious; explore & implore, but stake North on your compass—it is your intuition on this mission. | Think Big Picture and Start Small Scenes. | The recipe for everlasting anything is Nourish, Move, Laugh, Repeat. | Consistency is the key to lifelong creativity. | Attract opposites. Find your position. Now Balance and share how you got there. | Collect relics of beautiful, interesting things, but be ruthless in your editing. | You will take trips. | Lead with Empathy. The ‘M Path’ is not easy but it is real—you blazed this trail. | You will trip. | You will fall, but in love too. You will rise again in Warrior 2, smiling. | Alison>> listen, this is your voice. You will never NOT have a choice. | Should happens. Choose MUST. | Trust You for it is YOUR life.

A manifesto, by definition, is a public declaration of principles.
I have been inspired by so many in creating this and perhaps it will forever be a work-in-progress.
Humbled to have learned from and continue to be inspired by Monica McCarthy of Cheshire Parlour and so many others from my Pinterest page, appropriately titled, MANIFESTO FEST.
Do you long to create your own? Good news! Monica, formerly at Holstee whose manifesto went viral (it's been viewed over 100 million times) offers an online class!

Perhaps this will forever be a work-in-progress. I am sure you will be seeing a new version of this before long. Until then, I welcome your feedback and comments. Which line resonates with you most?
