Everyday Creative Writing
Posted on September 9, 2015 Leave a Comment
I was listening to a Hay House Radio show the other day, an archive of a Nancy Levin broadcast. The lovely caller expressed that although she was a business writer, she wished to start writing creative pieces. I think many of us can identify with that.
I encourage us as writers to explore this thought from Holly Thompson, writing teacher at UC Berkeley Extension:
Creative writing has applications in daily life regardless of one’s trade, profession, or background. To move people with words, to share stories, to create art with spoken words or text–these are valuable skills useful in all future endeavors. –Holly Thompson
Creativity is not an endeavor that we either do or don’t do, it’s a quality that we already are.
In what way can you allow your unexpected creative writing today?

Soul Shifts
Posted on September 2, 2015 1 Comment
Dr. Barbara DeAngelis describes Soul Shifts as her most important life’s work. Through this book she teaches seekers who are awakening to personal transformation.
Through her own story examples, Dr. DeAngelis leads readers through a four-part process: gateways to authentic awakening, the technology of transformation, soul shifts for practical spirituality, and living your soul shifts.
We already have everything we need for awakening inside of us! We are vibration, and living from this truth is transformative. Dr. DeAngelis offers techniques to put into practice, both in the immediate moment and for the long haul.
This is an interesting book that supports everyone’s library of personal growth reading. The author is passionate about her knowledge and teaching, and it is worth exploring.
I received this book gratefully in exchange for my review of it, from Hay House through NetGalley.
Divine Magic
Posted on August 14, 2015 Leave a Comment
This is the second edition of Doreen Virtue’s explanation of The Kybalion, made understandable and applicable for readers today. The Kybalion is a classic spiritual teaching manual that is now in the public domain. Although an internet search will land you at the original text, Divine Magic does a fabulous job of breaking these Hermetic teachings down into usable pieces. If you are at all interested in understanding and using your innate Divinely magical abilities, this book should be on your reading list.
Divine magic refers to mental alchemy. Basically it’s the truth that we can change/transmute any object or situation by changing our thoughts. Yep, we really do have the complete ability to turn crap into gold. This is way beyond just thinking happy thoughts and deluding ourselves into pretending all is well. This is truly manifesting our physical reality into treasured joy.
Start back in ancient Greece/Egypt, when Hermes Trismegistus verbalized the original teachings of The Kybalion. Flash forward to 1908, when The Three Initiates wrote a comprehensive explanation of this spiritual work. Jump to now, and enjoy Doreen Virtue’s relevant, applicable, and loving guide to understanding both the original verbal teachings and their later-published explanation.
Following the original chapter format, Doreen easily maintains the complete integrity of the original work through italics and clearly marked identification. As a reader, it’s easy to follow: Doreen’s guidance about what you’re about to read, followed by the original piece that she is talking about. It’s very effective to have the relevance discussed first and then the original writing. I much prefer today’s conversational style to what was used in 1908….
If you enjoy The Law of Attraction, alchemy, or the idea of creating your own reality, you will definitely want to read this book. I was not familiar with The Kybalion before reading this, and could see how it fits with similar topics of interest. I was not disappointed.
I received this book as a reviewer for Hay House through NetGalley, in exchange for my honest opinion of it. What a golden opportunity for everyone involved!
