The Courage To Create
Creativity comes from the heart. People who innovate and have new ideas are receiving impulses from a place they may not be able to describe, but that place, or realm, moved their heart. People who play the same old tapes, regurgitate contents that they have already read or heard before, still have to discover theContinue reading “The Courage To Create”

Earth Send On 29 April 2022
We are meeting in our circle for the well-being of all life on earth, in our weekly reiki send and our meditation of thanks and love. The still fresh year has been shocking us with global news that have nothing to do with emotional intelligence, friendliness or fulfilment. Maybe the rest of the year willContinue reading “Earth Send On 29 April 2022”
Untriggered
The untriggered state of being is the place of inner power and high creativity. You can claim it by eliminating what you don’t really love and resonate with — which is a lot that you pay attention to during the day. Start eliminating in the humblest ways: instead of getting your mind involved in somethingContinue reading “Untriggered”
Gratitude
is the fuel for all great art. Gratitude is the fuel for your own creativity. In these last weeks of the year, open your treasure trove of memories and experiences that you are grateful for. Happy Sagittarius season. 22 November 2021
Happy Birthday To Paul Weller
Since starting his career in music as a teen, Paul Weller has been a prolific songwriter and a memorable singer of messages that move the soul and are often easy to dance or groove to. He has no plan to retire. Paul Weller loves music too much. Lucky for us fans and future fans. SinceContinue reading “Happy Birthday To Paul Weller”
Penchant
Sometimes you get glimpses of the future, a visual piece like a photo or caption, downloaded from where you are heading to… Or a scent… A melody… But even when you can not see what is coming, or smell it, hear it, you surely can feel the future through your emotions… That what you experienceContinue reading “Penchant”
Happy Birthday To Julia Cameron.
I will write a longer writing of thanks to this Lady Of Creativity, whose work has been a companion to me since her first book ‘The Artist’s Way’. I have given The Artist’s Way to so many creative friends in the 1990s, who back in the day did not know what to do with it.Continue reading “Happy Birthday To Julia Cameron.”
To A Creative
To manifest is to revitalize yourself. 22 February 2018
Develop That Gift!
Once the interest is there, the aptitude can be developed. And it feels like play. The question is not why so many don’t, because the answer is obvious; the question is how will you prioritize your interest. So many people get caught up in consumerism, addictions, habits that distract them from the pain of havingContinue reading “Develop That Gift!”
What Are You Rewarding?
What you encourage grows. What you react to can grow too — because it feels validated and claims the power to expand. Punishing what pains or chains you or self-hate because you can’t resist it effectively belong to an approach that hasn’t worked all that well to create what you want and love. Instead of shooting backContinue reading “What Are You Rewarding?”
Happy Birthday, Esperanza Spalding.
“Cinnamon Tree, wise and sturdy, your roots are firm in the ground to soak up what is around and make sweet seasoning” – performed live at … I recommend this 20 min long interview with the inspirational Esperanza to all creatives:
Enhance the Good, Enhance the Beautiful
It is always possible to beautify your life. If you love it, you will do just that. It starts with attention. Look long enough until you see the elements of beauty in your life. Then enhance them. It is very easy to complain about what we have been handed, about situations we can not agreeContinue reading “Enhance the Good, Enhance the Beautiful”
Present To Yourself
About Preferences: Allow yourself to like what you like. Because you will like it at the end of the day and after you exhaust all the reasons about why perhaps you “shouldn’t” like it so intensely. And what about that what you don’t like that much? No good will, no fairness, no equanimity, no onenessContinue reading “Present To Yourself”
In Your Hands
The conditions that allow you to be wildly creative are in your hands. If that is what you want, to be wildly creative, establish the conditions and show up. Play, and keep playing. World Coconut Day 2016
You Can Recreate Yourself Without Drama
You don’t need a heated argument with your significant other or those you love the most, you don’t need a heavy clash with your colleague, you don’t need to lose all your possessions or your health to live in an exciting though sober way. Give yourself permission to make your dream come true. No sacrifice to peaceContinue reading “You Can Recreate Yourself Without Drama”
A Friend to Myself
Familiar with myself, I can befriend or be at peace with others. Being a friend to myself, I trust my instincts about what and who is right for my well-being. I love discovering myself, becoming healthier, feeling better and better, seeing the warm richness in my psyche, the courage in my mind, and the loveContinue reading “A Friend to Myself”
Be the Music In the Noise
You can’t wipe out ugliness with a little less ugliness, since you are still competing with it. Living out of a reactionary spirit pleases only those who push your buttons. They love it when they get the desired reaction — that is how they win their games that noone else is meant to win. It is youContinue reading “Be the Music In the Noise”
Something In My Heart – The Key to Authentic Expression
A few years ago, just before coming out as a Recovering Artist (yes, there is such a thing, if you are an artist in hiding, and I was hiding behind supportive roles, mentoring, excuses, self-sabotage, frequently pulling myself out of situations that happened to me to wake me up to the truth that my lifeContinue reading “Something In My Heart – The Key to Authentic Expression”
