A wise woman once told me, "Everyone's got a book in them." And I think that's true. While a book may or may not be your medium of choice, you've got a powerful, beautiful story in you. Looking back at your path and points of transformation can offer internal clarity and empowerment, and external empathy and authority.

On a recent visit to Hawaii, I got to reconnect with the infamous Uncle Whit, a main character in my book, Like the Sun at Midday. On a rainy afternoon at the cozy off-grid community property Whit built, I asked him to tell me the Bobo story—a fan favorite of readers of my book.

My favorite takeaway from this story is the connection to nature. As I say in Like the Sun at Midday:

“Bobo showed him that humans are not separate from the Earth or the other creatures that live on it. Early on, Whit understood that humankind’s place in this world is not at the top of the evolutionary pyramid as a dominating ruler. Rather, we are just one, beautiful branch of the expansive tree of life.”

There is a time and a place to be witnessed as a creator, and to share your work with the world. BUT, in this episode, I advocate for moving through the earlier stages of the creative process in silence. I share why silence can be powerful and protective, and when it does make sense to bring other people into the process.

Then, we bring these ideas down into the body and heart through a brief, soothing guided meditation.
