Choice by choice, moment by moment, I build the necklace of my day, stringing together the choices that form artful living.

When we seek daily spiritual guidance, we are guided toward the next step forward for our art. Sometimes the step is very small. Sometimes the step is, "Wait. Not now." Sometimes the step is, "Work on something else for a while." When we are open to Divine Guidance, we will receive it. It will come to us as the hunch, the inkling, the itch. It will come to us as timely conversations with others. It will come to us in many ways--but it will come.

I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.

All change can be expansive in potential. The choice is ours.

Left to it's own devices, writing is like weather. It has a drama, a form, a force to it that shapes the day. Just as good rain clears the air, a good writing day clears the psyche. There is something very right about simply letting yourself write. And the way to do that is to begin, to begin where you are.

Writing is a combination of being alert to your outer surroundings and alive to your inner reality.

A working artist is a playing artist.
