Whether your dream is creating a work of art, inspiring and uplifting

Your magnificence will inspire others
When you step into your own greatness, you will bring your true gifts
to the world and inspire friends, family members, business colleagues,
audiences, and others.
I feel honored and blessed when people tell me how my music has
influenced their lives. (For inspiring coaching stories, see the
testimonials page!) As you read the following, keep in mind that you,
too, can inspire others. Are you ready to be magnificent?
 One day I was at an art fair selling my CDs, showing the harps we make and sell, and playing harp for people who requested it. A man told me, "I was a first responder on 9/11, and I'd like to hear your 9/11 song." I agreed to sing it for him-with a bit of trepidation since the lyrics state that peace and love are my response to the threat of terror. When I finished, he said, "I've heard a lot of songs about 9/11, but none of them means as much to me as your song does. I want to play that CD where I work. There are a lot of people who need to hear this song." He works at the Pentagon.
 A young man came toward my booth at an art fair. He wasn't my usual type of customer; he wore a heavy-metal t-shirt and ripped jeans and had more body piercings than I could count. He approached me and said, "I think your music is amazing! I want to tell you something: I was in a coma last year, and my mother played your music for me. I heard it, and I remembered it."
From a note I received: "I purchased your Abundance of Time album last month. It's a wonderfully healing gift and has brought tears to my eyes many times, especially the song about Gretel Bergmann. I am almost 70 and remember the Second World War through the eyes of a child. Born of German parents, the song speaks to me, because I have not yet forgiven the Germans for the horrors they allowed. Your words help me to heal. Thank you."
A woman approached me and said, "I teach music in grade school, and I taught all 400 children at my school your song 'You Have a Gift.' I especially like the chorus: 'You have a gift, you have a talent, you make a difference with what you can do...' I asked each child to draw a picture of the gifts they bring to the world. We made a huge collage of the pictures and put it in the school hallway."
You can do anything! I believe in you!
I remember attending my first firewalk. I attended the preparatory
workshop, continually unsure of whether I would be able to walk
barefoot across a 12-foot bed of hot coals, glowing at about 1,200
degrees. As I stood at the fire, I watched about 50 people walk safely
across. I stepped up to the coals and said 'I am always safe with
Spirit,' and I walked. I heard the crunch of coals beneath my feet,
but I felt no heat. I felt wrapped in a protective blanket. The next
day, there wasn't a mark on my feet.
Doing the firewalk was important to me personally. But the fact that
many people around the world have done it is uplifting to me,
metaphysically and spiritually. It is a beautiful example of the power
of the mind and spirit over our physical reality. After that day, I
found that I say "I can't" much less often-anything seemed possible.
Remember, you can do anything!
