Finding The Creative Muses
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
The creative muses are always with us.
We just have to listen.
Or, if you are anything like me...
we also need to make a little space for them.
And, sometimes, I need a prompt or nudge to get me going.
Truthfully? Not sometimes.
I really need a nudge or prompt to get me going.
So when one of my favorite authors, [Pam Grout](https://pamgrout.com/),
released her newest book~
_[Art & Soul, Reloaded: A Yearlong Apprenticeship For Summoning](https://www.amazon.com/Art-Soul-Reloaded-Apprenticeship-Reclaiming/dp/140194986X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506920815&sr=8-1&keywords=art+and+soul+reloaded)_
_[The Muses and Reclaiming Your Bold, Audacious, Creative Side](https://www.amazon.com/Art-Soul-Reloaded-Apprenticeship-Reclaiming/dp/140194986X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506920815&sr=8-1&keywords=art+and+soul+reloaded)_
I decided to see where Pam's creative nudges might take me.
I am in week six and the main prompt
was to start a blog and make a post a day for a week.
Well, lucky for me, I've got the blog!
And, as I wrote that line...
I just realized that I've been blogging now for eleven years!
So... I'm stretching myself out of my comfort zone this week
and making the commitment
to share something every day of this week in my blog space.
I hope you enjoy these extra posts and that maybe
they will be a source for you in making some space
to listen to your creative muses
just a little bit more!
Please let me know if you do!

Labyrinths provide us with a path to practice change. Some labyrinths have withstood the passage of time for thousands of years. Others are here for just an afternoon, drawn in the sand at the edge of the ocean. Many modern labyrinths were meant to last for years, but because of unforeseen circumstances their time is shorter than intended. And they once again help us to practice letting go and giving thanks for the time they are with us. The Labyrinth of Life at the Sebastopol, California Teen Center reached such place of letting go and is at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another chapter that is yet unknown.

Sometimes... a labyrinth can take years to become a physical reality. In 2018 I met with my friend Deb, to discuss her desire to have a labyrinth on the beautiful land she lives on. Despite our plans and several meetings, listening to the land and finding the right spot, the labyrinth did not come to fruition. Fast-forward five years and in the blink of an eye... it happened!
