I keep getting new ideas for books. My first 3 books I wrote by myself. I have the urge now to create collaborative books. I had the idea years ago to write a collaborative book titled \u201cBeware: They Do Shoot the Messenger<\/em>.\u201d That project is in process. I now want to create a book with stories from or about creative\u00a0women who are making a difference in the world. I’ve known women who consider themselves just ordinary, and yet my perception is that they make a difference in the lives of those around them.<\/span><\/p>\n

I created instructions for potential authors for this new book. Women can write a story about themselves, or about a woman, or women, who they want to recognize for their contribution to the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

As an example for potential authors, below is a draft of my chapter in the book.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do I consider myself creative? I would have said no a few years ago. I have been primarily a logical, left brain, analytical thinker. I loved math and science when I was in high school. My major in college was math. My first career was as a math teacher. My second career was as a computer programmer, analyst, and manager. In 1999 I learned to write Haiku poems. My first thought when I was given the assignment to write Haiku poems was \u201cI\u2019m not a poet. I\u2019m not creative in that way.<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

My poems are popular, and I self-published my first book of Inspirational Poems in 2012. I self-published my second volume of Inspirational Poems in 2013. I\u2019m working on my third poetry book now.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the mid 1980\u2019s, a small voice inside told me I was going to write a book. My first question was \u201cWhat kind of book?<\/em>\u201d It took many years to answer that question. In 2002 I started to write the book which I finally published December 2, 2014. The title of the book is Weave the Threads of Your Life: Create Your New Life<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I recently attended a one-day workshop with Michael Tertes, to discover my Super Powers. After lunch Michael worked with me to refine an identified power I have, which we chose to call Blueprint Visionary. I’ve known for many years that when I\u2019m in a group, I naturally know where the group is headed, and how they can get there. I interviewed some of my friends before Michael\u2019s workshop, and they confirmed that they’ve seen me do this in groups.<\/p>\n

As Michael was questioning me about this ability, or Super Power as he calls it, he noticed that I was discounting, or taking it for granted. It comes to me so naturally, that I think nothing about it. He asked the other 17 people in the workshop if any of them do this. None of them do it in the same way I do. Is this a unique ability that I have? Is this my way of thinking \u2018outside the box\u2019 and being creative?<\/span><\/p>\n

I discovered other super powers in Michael\u2019s workshop. It is the unique combination of powers that fascinates me. We all have a unique combination of gifts and talents, Super Powers, that we can use to improve our lives and the lives of\u00a0others.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m asking the question, what does society need from me now? How can I be creative and serve more people? How can I make a difference in the world?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
