Let me begin with "thank you" for the insight and inspiration that comes from the creative flow of Source.  That spark within each of us that ignites into artistic expression, dance, music, stories, gardening, cooking, healing, invention and so much more.  Being grateful for our creative flow opens our hearts for greater expansion of that powerful force.

Living in this extraordinary and often turbulent world of light and shadow, we are each called to our inner sanctuary for balance.  Finding an avenue of creative expression can not only soothe our emotions it can enhance our sense of value.   Creative people are often the ones who enjoy sharing their gifts with others and that contribution brings necessary balance to our world.

Find your creative spark and let it blossom however small or large.  It is our nature to be creative, to dream and imagine, to play and to express our gifts. It is "time" to unveil and free that inner creative spirit the world is waiting for.  Utilize meditation to enter that inner oasis of calm and quiet listening.

Personally, I dedicated myself to an amazing creative adventure on Summer Solstice 2013.  That adventure has required inspiration, dedication, commitment and faith.   I am happy to say, this adventure is turning out well and is becoming my vegetarian cookbook "Spirit and Spices, The Vegetarian Way" to be published early 2015.   It has come with a full seminar of emotional ups and downs and growth opportunities.  I have deepened by strength and fortitude to learn and grow. Creative flow has taken me on an expansive journey of self discovery and the ride is a satisfying one.

Expressing creative ideas requires confidence and enthusiasm. For example, with all of the beautiful and informative vegetarian cookbooks available today, I realize mine adds to the many.   It fulfills my desire for creative expression and it lets me show up with my unique offering.

This message is one of encouragement so that you feel inspired to share your gifts with the world.   Taking a "time out" from busy schedules to meditate is very important as meditation opens the door to our sanctuary, our inner home where ideas are born and nurtured.  This sanctuary brings balance to our busy lives in a busy world helping us release fear and anxiety while igniting our inspiration.

The time is "now" for each of us to shine a little brighter through our creative gifts.   Your Light mingles with my Light and the Light of others.   This illumination is what Lights Up our world to shine brighter than any darkness.  As a Tribe of Light Weavers, we have the power to shine as brightly as the Sun that we are.

    A mated pair of Bald Eagles flew above our yard the other day, one landing in one of our pine trees.   

They called to each other and to our hearts.   

The power and presence was surreal, exciting and honoring.   

Bald Eagles...amazing!
