The Friday Affirmation
Today, I am filled with infinite, creative energy.
Our Glorious Uniqueness
“While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die – whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness.” — Gilda Radner
Man’s Origin was as Spirit
“Man’s Origin was as spirit, not a physical body. These souls projected themselves into matter, probably for their own diversion. Through the use of his creative powers for selfish purposes, man became entangled in matter and materiality to such an extent that he nearly forgot his divine origin and nature.” — Edgar Cayce
The Power of Choice
“Managing the power of choice, with all its creative and spiritual implications, is the essence of the human experience. All spiritual teachings are directed toward inspiring us to recognize that the power to make choices is the dynamic that converts our spirits into matter, our words into flesh. Choice is the process of creation itself.”— Caroline Myss
Art and creativity are all about choices. We can limit our creativty by limiting our choices. Today’s art is called “Quilter’s Burnout. The story beind this is that I was quite frustrated with the rigid rules of quilting and quilt shows. So I decided to burn some quilt blocks that weren’t quite “perfect.” This act of definance was a choice that started me down the path to creative freedom.
Our choices are indeed the essence of human experience and the process of creation itself.
How do you embrace choice in your life?

Life is an Adventure
“The world that we must seek is a world in which the creative spirit is alive, in which life is an adventure full of joy and hope, based rather upon the impulse to construct than upon the desire to retain whe we possess or to seize what is possessed by others.” — Bertrand Russell
All the Things that Truly Matter
“You also realize that all the things that truly matter – beauty, love, creativity, joy, and inner peace – arise from beyond the mind.” — Eckhart Tolle
