The Gift of Your Words

"Everyone of us has a gift to give. And when we give that gift, we really co-create Heaven on Earth."
Rev. Mary Omwake, Leadership Council, Association for Global New Thought


Among your many gifts, if you're reading this today, is a gift to create...an ability to communicate, to weave worlds of wonder with your words.

Of course you possess that gift. We all do. But you have chosen to let that gift possess you, to devote at least some hours of your week to a pen-and-paper or keyboard-and-screen communion with your Muse.

Or have you?

When you allow the voice of your Muse free access to your heart and mind, writing becomes a transformative act, one that transforms you and, through you, the world...one that, through the simple act of surrendering to your passion, helps co-create Heaven on Earth.

How are you giving that gift today? How are you honoring your gift, your Muse? If you haven't yet, take a moment -- today, now -- to give the gift of your passion, to free the voice of your Muse onto the page and into the world.

For help acknowledging and unleashing your creative power, listen to "You Are a Writer," one of the tracks from The Voice of the Muse Companion: Guided Meditations for Writers.

The 2-CD set, recorded by Mark David Gerson against a backdrop of Michael McDade's original music, is available online from either Amazon.comor LightLines Media.

Love the quote, just wrote about this in 25 words. Funny how we spend so many years building what we believe is our legacy and happiness, only to find an empty bucket. Found my muse, hope everyone eventually does. The real one!

Congratulations, Vicky, on finding your muse. Everyone can. All we have to do is make the choice and the commitment.

Mary's quote is a great one, and a reminder how we all make a difference, just by sharing our gifts and living our passion. Mary was my Unity minister when I lived on Maui and a great inspiration. Just like a muse!
