Orchestrating production of September’s Natural Awak-
enings has become one of my favorite things each year,
ever since we declared “Creative Expression” its theme.
Somehow, the whole month emerges as more playful and
lighthearted.
To create is to bring into existence something that has
never existed before. No two editions of this magazine are
alike. Each contributor who helps fills the pages, whether
advertiser, reader, writer or production staff, weaves in his
or her own colorful strand of energy to make the whole.
Each one of us is a creative spirit, continuously inventing and shaping our life,
whether we are playing music, thinking a thought, or having a conversation. As
with everything else, if we don’t bring our conscious intention to what it is that we
want to create in our life, we may end up with something we don’t want.
A few years ago, I realized I was doing much miscreating. Soon after, I eagerly
engaged in a process that helped me get in touch with my heart’s desire, what it is
I truly did want to create in my life. After some reflection, I discovered this: I wish
to always feel connected with my Source and able to fully express that connection
in all that I do. More, I gained clarity about my desires for specific facets of my
experience.
I began by learning how to align every thought, word and action with my
goal. It’s still a work in progress, but life has become much more fun. Basically,
I think and speak more about things as I want them to be and don’t think about
what I don’t want.

I love that this month’s feature, “Make Your Life a Work of Art” by Linda Se-
christ, explores how others have brought their own heart’s desires front and center.

What parts of yourself have you been unwilling to express and at what cost
to your soul? What greater adventures might be yours should you give yourself
permission to express the marvelous being that you are?
On my never-ending quest to play more mature, in-depth roles in the movie
of my own life, roles that I might have shied away from before, I am discovering
that, as my capacity to fully self-express expands, so does my passion for living.
After all, isn’t that what we all want?
Here’s to being fully-expressed,
