“A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal’s a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I love the Corps!” “ — Sgt Apone, ALIENS.

Tananarive and I often wake up in the morning, and the first thing we say to each other is THIS quote, because we LOVE living together, working together, loving together.

The greatest work of art is your own life, lived with honesty, joy, grace, power, love, and courage. YOUR OWN LIFE.

We can have this if we align our actions, emotions, philosophies and life strategies. When every action is a declaration of intent and being. Every day is an adventure and revelation.

This is what we want for each and every one of you, and the tools of LIFEWRITING, especially

  1. The Heroes Journey/Chakras (Lifewriting)
  2. The MAGIC Formula
  3. The Five Minute Miracle
  4. The Morning Ritual
  5. The Three Gates
  6. The Three Centers
  7. The Three Goals

Tomorrow we will look at the FIVE most important lessons to be extracted from these seven, on LIFEWRITING LIVE. Friday, 12 noon Pacific, on Zoom at www.thefiredance.com

Totally free. Join us!
