Spark My Muse

The Challenge of October is Ownership and the Theme for the Quarter is Give and Take. Here's how we begin to explore and learn from each other.

It’s the final quarter of 2024 and it’s time we link arms and join forces to enrich each other spiritually in more concrete ways. 

I’ve set up a challenge. It’s not very strenuous, but it’s a way to get us thinking, dialoguing, and moving toward better ways of being. Please, be a part of it. I explain that in the audio today.

Here’s a preview, in video form,and I hope you will find me on YouTube and subscribe ⭐️go here or subscribe at the main channel HERE,especially if you already find yourself poking around YoutTube.
