“Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.” ~unknown
It is the end of another year here on Earth and the end of another year of your life.
2005 has come to an end. With the ending of each year, we have cultural traditions of reviewing the year that is over and making resolutions for the year to come. While this time of year is a wonderful time to envision what you want to create in the year to come, if we don’t make conscious choices that come from our own authentic voice, we can fall prey to the Voice of Judgment’s own tradition of creating another year’s experience of setting too high of goals and feeling once again that we simply are not and can’t ever be enough.

Gratitude Forward: A Personal Practice for Life
—Julie M Daley
If you think gratitude doesn't have a thing to do with creativity, you're probably not alone. Many believe gratitude is something we have for what has already happened. Gratitude and appreciation almost always is focused on the past....
When you naturally feel and express deep gratitude for all of life and its inherent intelligence and abundance, you are opening your heart and soul to this creative force.
Goose
Bumps...How the Body Clues Us In
—Julie M Daley
This is where the real juice and joy are of being alive…smack-dab in the physicality of your experience, using all your senses. When you begin to trust the wisdom within your body’s signals, such as goose bumps when you experience something really magnificent, you learn to be more fully yourself, not relying on some system of measurement outside of you, but instead on the best indicator you can count on…you.
The
Ashram Within
—Julie M Daley
While creativity can’t be easily defined, it is through your self-expression that your creativity is made known in the world. It is through creative inspiration and action that what is inside you churning to be said, danced, shared, drawn…in short created…is brought into the world. It is by sharing this inner you that you begin to really be you, and in turn to more fully know you. This is the creative path of self-discovery and the path is within you.
