When I Met My Muze

"I glanced at her and took my glasses off--they were still singing. They buzzed like a locust on the coffee table and then ceased. Her voice belled forth, and the sunlight bent. I felt the ceiling arch, and knew that the nails up there took a new grip on Whatever they touched. "I am your own way of looking at things, " she said. "When you alllow me to live with you, every glance at the world around you will be a sort of salvation. And I took her hand."
--- Willima Stafford

Fall is the perfect time to connect more deeply with your inner muse and invite in new mentors and colleagues to support your creative growth. Consider the following questions this September:

1) What actions can I take to spend more time with my inner creative guide?

2) What are the inner messages that I need to honor to make my creativity a priority right now?

3) What kind of creative skill development do I need to tackle that will take me to a higher level of expertise?

4) Who am I attracted to as new mentors and colleagues and how do I access them?

Enjoy your adventures!

Reading great self-help books gives you instant access to mentors and potential muses. Two books of note this month are:

Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us to Grow(Villard, 2004) written by a co-founder of the Omega Institute In New York, Elizabeth Lesser. She reminds us that change, whether welcomed or sudden, has the potential to make us stronger and clearer about our intentions. As she says, "And how ironic that the difficult times we fear might ruin us are the very ones that can break us open and help us blossom into who we were meant to be."

Focal Point, by Brian Tracy (AMACOM, 2002) is a book of strategies for doubling your productivity and achieving all your goals. Brian advocates the power of continuous learning and reminds us about the value of persistence. As he says, "Anything worth doing well is worth doing poorly at first--until you master it."
