I honor my importance and the importance of others. None of us is dispensable, none of us is replacable. In the chorus of life each of us brings a True Note, a perfect pitch that adds to the harmony of the whole. I act creatively and consciously to actively endorse and encourage the expansion of those whose lives I touch. Believing in the goodness of each, I add to the goodness of all. We bless each other even in passing.

In order to have a real relationship with our creativity, we must take the time and care to cultivate it.

When you feel yourself to be in critical condition, you must treat yourself as gently as you would a sick friend.

I am what I am again: a writer. I have metabolized the injury into art.

Pivotal to a happy writing life is a practice of daily personal writing.

I am a gate for God to accomplish great things. Through me and with me, new Life enters the world.

Become willing to see the hand of God and accept it as a friend's offer to help you with what you are doing.
