(word 4)
The word for this week is . . . COMPELLING.
“It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.”" Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A passion is compelling. As a magnet, it attracts us with an invisible power. Like bees to honey, dogs to bones, and kids to play. Some of us are drawn to create, to counsel, to climb, to kids.
We can’t help it. It’s part of our DHA… Dynamic Heart Attraction. It is the thing we want to do on vacation, with our weekends, when the kids have grown. The thing that may have been passed over, because “it doesn’t make any money.” It’s the thing that still makes our heart sing.
Passion is not something we choose. It’s something that is there already, deep inside, and uncovered. Passion compels us to act, to get involved, to move. It brings excitement, pleasure and growth. We feel alive.
Connected, we light up. Now, we become the compelling part, attracting others by our energy. People want what we have. And we have plenty to give, because we have been fed. Our light, now sparkling, allows others to see. That’s why it’s called Dynamic Heart Attraction. It is a process that is moving and active, alive and changing the world!
THIS WEEK Uncover your passion. What excites your inner spirit to think about? You will feel it. Deep down, you probably already know.
Enjoy your passion this week. There are few things more satisfying. I’m being generous here. Maybe nothing is. It’s who we are. It’s where we find peace.
There’s always a way to connect. Maybe it’s a movie, a magazine, or the internet. Maybe it’s just a picture you post. Or some writing you read. Enjoy a bit everyday. It keeps the view a whole lot brighter.
Oh, and about having more than one. Choose the one that brings the most pleasure. Or join them in some way. You’re creative. I know you will think of something

STUDIO NEWS
I have finally finished some word pieces like “Compelling” above. My hope is to have the featured word on a piece of ceramics each week, available for purchase. A gentle reminder of a chosen path. (Note: if it’s not on Etsy when you click, it’s been sold. Email and I can make another.)


Thanks, Kathleen. Yes, freedom!
This one is my favorite so far. A reminder to not ignore, but follow what compels me.
