I am many miles and hours away from my own computer on this Thanksgiving Day. Last year I had a fabulous time with my son, Geordie, and his girlfriend, Mandy. This year I am equally fortunate to be spending it with my niece, Nicole, her husband Wil and 2 lovely and energetic children, Soren and Sidney.

I feel SOOOO alive, excited and energized when I sit down to put together material for a new workshop or to re-craft an existing workshop. I make myself my favorite cup of tea, pull out all my books, get my favorite pen in hand and then start to brainstorm and write down ideas…….I just let it flow and it all seems to just come together quite effortlessly when I am in the right space

There is a time to be in the nothingness, in the void, in the “not much seems to be really happening here.”

Think about what you want more of in your life and begin talking about that. That will draw in others who are like-minded. If you have creative ideas that you have shelved, begin talking about them. If you find your friends are not supportive of your growth you may need to look outside that circle and cultivate new friendships.
