Inspiration!

How often we feel uninspired in our lives and in our endeavors! Sometimes we are so busy, tired and stressed we can only go through the motions of living life, with very little room for joy, creativity or inspiration.

Inspiration can mean different things to different people. To the scientist inspiration can be an idea that leads to a unique discovery. To the artist inspiration can lead to the creation of a masterpiece. In spirituality to be inspired is to feel called by a Higher Power.

The ancient Greeks would begin their songs, poems and stories with a prayer for inspiration, as supplication to the gods or as an invocation to the muse.

The acts of prayer, meditation, manifestation and divination can offer us inspiration. Whether that inspiration is simply the strength to get through the day, the push to creativity or a call to greatness, inspiration is something we all need.

Community

We use the word "community" to describe many different things. A community can be the place where you live; you might not even know your neighbors, but it is still a community.

A community can be a group of people (on line or in person) who share a common interest.

A community can be your entire town.

In a best-case scenario, a community is helpful and supportive. Many of us volunteer our time and talents to our community, and feel the satisfaction of participating in something that really makes a difference.

In a worst-case scenario, communities can be torn apart by personality issues, causing people to feel frustrated, angry and ostracized.

The important thing to remember is this. We all need our communities, especially our communities of like-minded people. Sometimes there will be members of our community that behave badly, causing us to withdraw. Sometimes withdrawing for a period of time is a good idea. But, in the end, the fellowship of community is something we all need; no matter how much one person may irritate us.

If you are in a community that you enjoy, dedicate yourself to it.

If you are not, find your community of likeminded people. You'll be glad you did.

Hello Friends!  I am happy to announce that we have four webinars this week, starting with a Premium Webinar tonight.

Before I tell you about that, let me tell you about two great things that happened this past week.

First was my presentation at the Tarot Masters conference in Brazil.  My topic was "Tarot, the Four Elements and Your Spiritual Journey," which is also the subtitle of my new book, Tarot Tour Guide, which will be available later this month.
