Living INSPIRED! If you’re in my circle of newsletter connections, you know I’m all about living an inspired and free life.

This week I had the opportunity to work with a client who is a professional performer. They came to see me because they had lost their mojo. They wanted to live in inspiration and create new material from a full tank. None of that was happening.

As we explored more, inside them existed a full tank of grief, heart break, and loss. There was no available space for inspiration to move in.

Fast forward to this Sunday’s CBS Sunday Morning show. In this week’s show they interviewed Jon Baptiste and his wife, Suleika Jaouad. In this interview, Jon and Suleika articulate many points they came up in my client’s session earlier this week.

● Find your way

● To express the unendurable

● Triumph over adversity

● Turn on the Light

● Focus on the Light

In my opinion creativity is life and creative expression is the verb of creativity, creating. Both are essential to living an inspired life.

● Everyone needs to exercise and experience free creative expression

● Allowing this movement of energy, which needs an outlet, a vehicle to carry the expression. Creative expression allows it to move through, not settle in and make camp!

● To express beyond the mind’s definition of what needs to be expressed, free of interpretation.

● The healing/gifts are in the act of creating, not in the production of a product.

This doesn’t occur by painting well; it occurs by painting (or whatever you are drawn to do).

If you’re a living human being, you have been presented with many uninvited pains. What are you going to do with yours? Let them silently kill the spark in your life? I surely hope not. I invite you to “find your way” to make creative expression a conscious part of your life. If you need support, contact me. I’ll be your tour guide to living fully expressed and free.

Sending smiles,
