Using Creative Power.

It is when you are really living in the present - working, thinking, lost, absorbed in something you care about very much, that you are living spiritually....For I know that the energy of the creative impulse comes from love and all its manifestations - admiration, compassion, glowing respect, gratitude, praise, tenderness, adoration, enthusiasm. And why should we all use our creative power? Because there is nothing that makes people so generous, joyful, lively, bold, and compassionate.

receiver self-check

the other day i turned on the tv and there was a black screen with the words, "receiver self-check". i laughed. because i realized - and relevant messages come to us in many different forms - that this was a message to me. i'm a giver. i like to give. it makes me happy + satisfied to know i'm supplying a need, whether that need is a word of acknowledgement, a compliment or some yummy baked item for a friend. but, i'm coming to learn how to be a good receiver. not to be confused with a taker. no, that's offensive to my sensibilities. but the grace of receiving as joyfully as i give. so, it's a good thing. a self-check on being a receiver.
