The Awe-most Full Moon: Call Tonight
Hi ,
The moon is almost full, 2009 is one week and a day old - do you know where your mind is? Is it filling or emptying? Ebbing or flowing? Exalting or exhausting?
You're not pressuring yourself with a bunch of ridiculous resolutions, are you? ARE YOU?
Here's a different take on New Year's resolutions from the Modern Day Muses. Additional pressure right now is so unnecessary. Permission granted to give yourself credit for how far you've already come. Filling with that thought generates fuel to do more.
Join me tonight on a free call - I'll be channeling the Modern Day Muses so I can't tell you exactly what it will be about, but I'm pretty sure creativity will be involved. Bring your journal - I have a feeling we will be doing some fun writing type things as well. The recording will be available if you miss it. Write info@themuseisin.com
I've had a number of new subscribers (three I think), since The Awe-manac arrived. WELCOME. There will be typos in the Muse Flash too - it's my way of helping you accept that the world is not perfect and you don't have to be perfect neither, also and too.
Awe-fully nice of you to join us. Okay, enough awe puns, I promise. (awe-choooo!.. sorry, bit of a cold).

A Modern Day Muse Facilitator Spotlight from Scotland!
Introducing Iris Perrin!
Iris dwells amidst a beautiful Muse Garden in Scotland and creates magical Modern Day Muse Workshops!
What do you like about being a Muse Group Facilitator?
I enjoy the freedom to be creative my own way – not restricted to a set regime of what a Modern Day Muse session should consist of. It’s also quite exciting being the only Scottish Modern Day Muse Group Facilitator!
What inspires you?
Music, colour, books and websites, emotions.
What is your favourite achievement?
Preparing and running my own one day motivational workshop.
I was scared and nervous, but I knew I could do it – and I did. The feeling of achievement afterwards was incredible.
The editor of a local magazine took part in that workshop and as a result, an article was written about it. I was featured on the magazine cover – my one and only time as a cover girl!
What is the key to your perseverance?
I now know I have a talent for motivating and inspiring others – which in turn inspires me to keep on looking for new ways to do so.
Share about what you have you created?
One year I was wardrobe mistress for the local Scout Gang Show (a musical theatre production done by Boy Scout groups all over the UK) and thoroughly enjoyed designing costumes and choosing fabrics.
For full interview with Iris, click here.
What is the best advice you have been given?
A life coach I met on a training course told me to listen to what people are saying about you –not what you think they are saying about you.
Another friend advised me, with any form of public speaking, make sure you know what you are talking about.
Where can people find you?
People can find me through my day job – at the website: www.fairburncentre.com which my husband and I run together.
Next new creative adventure for me there is to introduce a Blog – watch that space!
Favorite Quote:
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, - begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it - begin it now." Goethe

| Butterfly Fuel Precautions
Then there was the time I put butterfly fuel in my eyes.
In the winter, they remained tightly closed, cocooning…
and my eyes opened
come spring,
and my gaze fluttered about the room in random
loops
and arcs
and zags.
and then without warning ...
