Finally in my third trimester (over 60+), I have shifted from my corporate identity to a solopreneur, to an entrepreneur to a heartpreneur because I can claim the sense of what I perceive underlies heart-centered livelihood. Change and more chaos may come before us. Tuning-in to our capacity to expand our hearts is the songbeat for "we don't know what's coming, but we can help shape what's ahead."

What a beautiful piece, Dee. That Rubin book is such a cracker, isn't it? Good to see you making some space for your creativity. I still believe that it's the most useful of all the healing tools.

thanks for the mention, Dee. I can't comment on your post yet. I had to save it to read later. I am very much behind on everything right now. Merry Christmas.

The look on your face in the wedding picture says it all -- love heals. My husband and I have been together for 35 years this July and he remains one of the best choices I ever made! May your marriage be long, lovely and filled with beauty.

Rick Rubin's book, The Creative Act, is also a favorite of mine. "The beauty around us enriches our lives in so many ways. It is an end in itself. And it sets an example for our own work." ~rick rubin Or Rumi puts it like this: "let the beauty we love be what we do/ there are a hundred ways to kneel and kiss the ground."

Happy New Year and write on . . .

Dee, I share two things with you that are interesting:

1. 2023 is the year I began taking writing seriously, making a daily practice of it

2. 2009 is the year I started sobriety

First of all, I honor your expanding essence. Massive shifts are on their way, and as a Heartpreneur, my soul goal for '24 is to engage with others on a soul-aligned Quest to be willing to meet the challenges front and center.

Gratitude for sharing me in your wide network.

So much I love about this Dee, and I can hear you talking (even though I’ve never heard your voice) and that’s the sign of good writing. Amazing how the program can help with our writing (honesty, openness, willingness!) and I love your points about spontaneity too. One of the fun parts about this regular writing practice is seeing what comes out of our heads and through those typing fingers when we sit down to write. (Speaking for myself anyway !) thank you for being yourself in your posts.

Merry Christmas to you and Ann!

Susie it is truly awe inspiring what recovery can evoke for a person with creative instincts and love in their heart. I get the same from your prose. Blessings to you. I hope you’re all hunkered in for the Holiday on your island 🙏
