I have a vision of a creative altar for our city that everyone takes turn tending. One at a time, or many at a time, we add our gifts, our creativity, our spark to that altar. This altar represents the heart and spirit of the city. It reminds the city of its highest vision.

I voiced this idea at a meeting of artists, performers, and musicians in Asheville, North Carolina last night. The next thing I knew, we were saying Yes to our first taste of this vision today.

Today, rather than just thinking about ‘True Self’ and ‘Full Potential’ as abstract concepts, I want to encourage you to actually experience the full potential of your true self through a fun experiment. Sound intriguing?

My guiding word of the year is “Intuition.” Several months ago, I realized that although I know I am a deeply intuitive person, I often let my rational mind override my intuition in many areas of my life.
