creativity order creative
Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy.
life gratitude truth
... success or failure, the truth of a life really has little to do with its quality. The quality of life is in proportion, always, to the capacity for delight. The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.
creativity healing heart
The heart of creativity is an experience of the mystical union; the heart of the mystical union is an experience of creativity.
creativity
Creativity requires faith. Faith requires that we relinquish control.
inspirational pain past
In times of pain, when the future is too terrifying to contemplate and the past too painful to remember, I have learned to pay attention to right now. The precise moment I was in was always the only safe place for me.
perfection trying quests
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again.

As you move toward a dream, the dream moves toward you.
spiritual art divine-guidance
When we seek daily spiritual guidance, we are guided toward the next step forward for our art. Sometimes the step is very small. Sometimes the step is, "Wait. Not now." Sometimes the step is, "Work on something else for a while." When we are open to Divine Guidance, we will receive it. It will come to us as the hunch, the inkling, the itch. It will come to us as timely conversations with others. It will come to us in many ways--but it will come.
inspirational change positive
Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.
loyalty heart healing
I am compassionate. I allow my heart and imagination to embrace the difficulties and concerns of others. While maintaining my own balance, I find it within myself to extend sympathy, attention, and support. When they are grieved, I listen with openness and gentle strength. I offer loyalty, friendship, and human understanding. Without undermining or enabling, I aid and assist others to find their strength. I allow the healing power of the Universe to flow through me, soothing the hearts and feelings of those I encounter.
holiday disruption tempo
As a writer, I find holidays often disturbing, not liberating, in their disruption of tempo, their open-ended time.
kids trying rotten
Try approving of yourself just as you are, and spoiling yourself rotten with small kid's pleasures.
motivational recovery new-beginnings
Wherever you are is always the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are.

You are your own Promised Land, your own new frontier.
