The Inspirer Needs Inspiration, too!
Hi ho, MMMLOGerinos!
Weather: Breezy, sunny and just plain lovely out!
The Inspirer Needs Inspiration, Too!
My mother-in-love listens to a local alternative talk radio, 1150 am, here in Seattle. I was listening today and heard the Angel Lady on Dr. Pat's show giving angel readings. In need of some inspiration, I called and Sue the Angel Lady told me that mine were Caroline who is a positive thinking angel, Cara who is love, and Gabriel the archangel of communications and something else. Dr. Pat was kind enough to ask the name of my book(s) and where they could be had, as well as my site URL. She brought up my website as we spoke on the air and said she needed some creativity coaching! Don't we all, at one time or another, even we who seek to inspire and help others, or perhaps especially we inspirers, need inspiration. It's too easy to give endlessly of ourselves because we genuinely care and want to help others feel better. It's a deep and abiding drive that has inspirers working one-on-one or with thousands in our "create a better world now" outreach.
Back in my hyper social activist days when I channeled the overflowing high vibration energy into helicopter momming, volunteerism, charity fund raising and lobbying at the state capitol for a women's education organization, I didn't think it was enough to write stories about people emerging out of a darkness of soul into the light of transformational love. In fact, I thought my fiction writing something of a secret pleasure that I should be depriving myself of so I could do more "out there" with my stolen time. Then a very wise woman, a spiritual teacher, counseled that people hear or see what they need at the right time--be it a politician's speech, a TV show, a preacher's sermon or a book. She reminded me that many of life's lessons are best taught through parables and even the early church presented the stories of Bible as action-packed emotional plays for the masses. I learned that I couldn't help everyone, that isn't my job this life. I can help and learn from some. And that's enough.
So thanks to Dr. Pat and Sue the Angel Lady, my creative centre is filled up again with love and light and I'm ready to get back into an exciting new project, a paranormal chic-lit . . . but that's another story.
Ciao, ciao, MMMMMMMMMMMMmmelinda
