Sing your song! Be who you are. Love what you do.
For many years I’ve been a devotee of Dr. Wayne Dyer’s work, and through his writing have cultivated an ever-deepening appreciation of Abraham Maslow’s definition and study of self-actualizing people. In Dyer’s 2014 memoir, I Can See Clearly Now, the author relates his mentor’s view: “Maslow describes the innate inner calling of these kinds of … Continue reading “On the Field of Dreams with Rodney Flowers”
Today’s message comes from my mentor Mary Morrissey’s Life Mastery Institute, and I share these words in the spirit of gratitude. Learning to access and consciously direct your creative power is key to bringing your Vision into Reality… I’ve heard it said that some people live ninety years and others live one year ninety times. … Continue reading “The Power Within You”
Last week I began a series on the power of Vision Walks in the creative process. I discussed Vision Walk #1: how we can form generative questions and literally call in the information we seek. There are at least two other ways to combine walking with a form of visioning… Vision Walk #2, Create Your Future … Continue reading “Create Your Future on a Walk”
Many of us know stories of great artists, philosophers, innovators, and other prolific contributors who’ve made walking part of a daily routine. In his highly readable book, Daily Rituals: How Artists Work, author Mason Currey details the quotidian structures adhered to by a variety of creative thinkers at the frontiers of their chosen fields. Currey’s list … Continue reading “Angels Whisper… on a Walk”
We can’t outperform our own self-image. Building confidence and self-esteem are essential in a life of conscious creativity. Confidence is a major key to artistry – to weathering storms of all kinds (and yes, creating art or launching any new venture can be like a storm sometimes). Such moments when life doesn’t go as smoothly … Continue reading “Thoughts On Confidence and Humility”
I am delighted to bring you a “first” – my first conversation in the Creative Calls Interview Series. When I dreamed up this series of monthly talks, I did not have all the pieces in place. I certainly didn’t know my first guest, inspirational, international best-selling author, Banafsheh Akhlaghi. I simply knew I had a burning desire to learn more about the lives … Continue reading “Interview with Banafsheh Akhlaghi”
Cultivated Awareness is a living channel to Conscious Creativity. We may know this intuitively, from experience, or from a range of other sources. We also know the creative process is one of challenges. With Awareness, we can transform what initially may seem like insurmountable obstacles, into profoundly expansive Creative Gifts. Brain research tells us that … Continue reading “Your Power of Awareness”
Anything that exists in nature vibrates in a particular pattern. We humans are vibrational beings. With awareness, we can learn to recognize our current feeling tone as the “vibe” or frequency of the moment. Many consciously creative people make a habit of “dialing up” the frequency of gratitude in the early morning. Like attracts like. … Continue reading “Looking Toward the All”
One of the most liberating ideas I’ve come across over years of nurturing dreams is the notion that “both and” trumps “either or”. In the World of Either Or, people with deep-seated, creative longings don’t allow themselves to dream – or if they do, they do so painfully, as unheeded calls and unfulfilled dreams … Continue reading “The World of “Both And””
Throughout time and in countless stories, the Creative Seeker upholds a vision, sets a course, and persists through obstacles. Often a desert serves as both a testing ground and a place of revelation. Conditions may be rough, the landscape barren. Yet in heeding the call to adventure – in seeking to make a Dream into … Continue reading “A Place to Create”
