The Next Chapter: 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women

Secret #2 – Honoring your inspirations

Well, I didn't quite get this post done before the group moved on to the next chapter. Yesterday was just a busy day and when it got to be last night, I just didn't have it in me to write about Chapter 2 of the 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women. Secret number two about honoring your inspirations dealt with a topic that I seem to think about quite often - identifying those things that you love - those things that have been with you since you were young.

A new love: Miksang

Last Sunday, a local artist group that I meet with had an open studio with a teacher from the Shambhala Center.
