This site and the 'THOUGHTS TO LIVE BY' publication is dedicated to fostering creativity, not merely in the limited sense of producing art or innovation or making discoveries, but in the broader sense of shaping every aspect of life experience. This is what I call a Creative Consciousness approach to living. When we understand ourselves in this way, we can become more powerful, productive and happier in a conventional sense as well as arrive at a new transcendent creative state of being. This is what is beginning to take place in our new millennium.

When you subscribe to the 'THOUGHTS TO LIVE BY' publication you will receive weekly guiding messages by e-mail to help you fulfill these creative potentials, and it's all free. There's no catch. I'm not doing this for money, I have already fulfilled my need for that. I'm at a special point in my own creative journey -- a point of expanded giving and service to others. That's the greatest outcome of this path. And that's where you eventually may come to. But don't try to rush it. If you try to give too much too soon, you'll only deplete yourself. Focus first on freeing your creative energy and spirit. Then when you're overflowing, you'll have so much more to give and you'll abundantly share with others.

When you receive 'THOUGHTS TO LIVE BY,' print it out and read it the same day. If you just read it on screen, it may not do you much good. Reading on screen may not give you the time you need to fully consider or absorb it. You may do better to keep each issue somewhere in your environment so you can reread it a few times thoughout the week. This way you'll have time to mull it over and test out its suggestions well before the next issue arrives.

I do believe each of these messages can be of great value to you. Every thought has been well explored and tested by me, but to make them work for you, you may need to invest some quality time with them, just as when making good friends.

The messages are pared down and are written not just to give understanding, but to energize and recharge your creative spirit. Don't get hung up on a specific word or idea you don't like or may disagree with. Focus on what energizes and works for you. Also, if an idea is familiar to you, don't toss it off because it's not new to you. Repetition is important. Think of it as re-feeding your Soul a favorite meal. And let each meal nourish you fully.

Bon appetite!
