Listening to our inner voice, the part of us that knows the Truth of who we are; that speaks to us and guides us to the next steps to what we want to create and experience…will give our lives meaning and the success we long to achieve.

“Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything. If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will always lead you down the right path.” ~ Henry Winkler

Not being afraid to see our own greatness and share our gifts with the world will produce abundance and happiness beyond what we could ever imagine.

This attitude towards success can have a profound [click to continue reading…]

We are inquisitive, curious adventurous by nature…

The desire to experience new things, to look at possibilities and choose one.

Play with it, explore the thoughts and feelings that swirl in us when we step into that possibility.
THAT is innate in each one of us. It is not a trait only found in an occasional great inventor or explorer…

It is innate within YOU!

Your eyes see so many things that are “unseen”. Your mind has so many ideas of how to create new things. Your inner muse is dancing with delight at all the possibilities you could play with today.


Every day we are on the edge of discovery… It is limiting beliefs and old ways of thinking that keep us from knowing it and embracing it.

Instead we spend a great deal of our time [click to continue reading…]

It’s hot. Even though I live on an island and we have sea breezes some times, Martha’s Vineyard gets stuck in a weather pattern of 100% humidity.

Because it’s unusual only a few businesses and vacation homes have air conditioning, so “sticky” is the watch word across the vineyard when we are in a pattern like this.

The crowds that flock to the vineyard are smaller than usual this summer because of the changes going on in the economy. But in late August with the sticky weather, locals and visitors alike are having their attitudes pushed into negative flows with the traffic and rush of high season.

The Secret Service has been here for a while and people are a buzz with anticipation and consternation of the imminent arrival of President Obama and the first family.

Yesterday, it seemed that being hot and bothered came to a crescendo in all the faces and feelings of people moving through Oak Bluffs.

I heard a woman at the post office lament about the humidity, a father riding herd over three kids and dripping ice cream cones asking about where the press core would hold their briefings, a group of people having a heavy discussion about all the chaos dragging through the world…

Days like this pull you away from being upbeat and feeling connected to your inner muse. It seemed all my creativity and inspiration had melted into the humidity and the projects and work I needed them for were just as sticky as the heat.

With the sun down and the night settling in I noticed a shift in how I was feeling. The air had cooled a bit and as funny as it may sound the whole neighborhood seemed to tune back in. I sat in the dark on the deck and heard the sultry wail of a saxophone.

My neighbor, Cilla, exquisitely playing her sax. Usually there are lots of sounds around on a summer night. Now there was only the feeling of creativity and inspiration softly moving back into me and the neighborhood.

I grabbed my laptop to record the sweet sax in the summer evening. As I sat and listened it was such a nice reminder that we can choose to get bogged down in the hot and bother of life or we can choose to move to a rhythm that flows past the sticky notes and savors the sweet ones… I had the sense that everyone in the neighborhood, visitors and locals alike were savoring the sweet sounds of the sax and tapping back into their own spirited muse.

Take a moment to listen to a little of the sweet sounding sultry sax I recorded for you. [display_podcast]

Envision yourself sitting on a deck at night savoring the sweetness of your life.

Remind yourself that you choose not only which notes to listen to but which notes to play.

Enjoy.

How many times have you moved right past something in your life because you thought there was nothing to notice or experience?inspired-by

How many times has your perspective on life, or beliefs and story about what you think is possible kept you from opening up to a vast expanse of new ideas and possibilities?

Most of us run through our daily routine on auto pilot… We think we pay attention, but really we just move through the day with filters that block out what we have determined are not relevant to us.

Do you look at the faces of people that you pass on the street?

Or notice the colors in window displays or the myriad of shades of green in the leaves that may be in your environment?

Most of us do not- we simply do not notice-
When we take ourselves off of auto pilot, when we simply begin to tune in and notice. We discover that there are a lot of interesting things for us to experience.

More importantly, so much of what we filtered out before, we discover is synchronicity tapping us on the shoulder and offering us possibilities… The connection we have be searching for, the right person with the right piece of information, images that give us new ideas and so much more.

We can make our rendezvous with these synchronicities in an intentional way. By setting our intention and using our internal compass to See the unseen, to notice what would be valuable to us and feel a pull to look there when it holds a new idea or answer for us.

It takes practice to notice and to See what you are looking for in something that appears to be empty of anything that is relevant or important to you. But it is worth every moment of practice.

There is a wonderful animation that illustrates Seeing the unseen and the amazing opportunities it opens up.

Take a few minutes to watch and not only will you discover that there is so much more to see, but that you are so much more than you think you are. When you look at your life with fresh eyes your observations change your life in each moment.

The video animation  is a journey through the ultra deep field from 3D perspective, revealing millions of other galaxies.
