I had a fantastic day writing my mini book. The words spilled off my fingers and took me in a different direction than I had expected. I love it when that happens, as I know I've connected with my Inner Muse.

My message is about the "waking up" and "busting loose" process. Some of the course leaders believe in the Law of Attraction, and I explain why I had to leave that thinking and belief behind. It gave me a slight nervous feeling, wondering what they would think of me.

As I finished the first chapter, I opened my email and there was a letter from Neale Donald Walsch, who is actually promoting this course. His words calmed me and validated my message, even though I had not asked or expected this.

On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know...

...that happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meandering, but leads none of us by the same route.

Charles Caleb Colton said that, and he was right. Therefore, since there is no One Way to find happiness, why not find it the way that appeals most to you? Why not follow your passion - even if others tell you that you are crazy for trying it?

Is someone telling you that now? Don't listen. Don't listen to that! The voice of caution knows nothing of real joy. What joy is there is doing what there was no doubt you could do? Where's the excitement in that? Hey, try something that you could fail at. Now that's living.
