I — usually — simply read the words. Words alone — often — bring a “soothing healing” to the part of me that needs just that. Therefore, I wasn’t going to watch the video. Your words were wonderful enough. It was all I was looking for…for now anyhow!

Then, after a brief pause, I sensed that, maybe —just maybe — I ought to watch the brief video. I did so!

And…

The video of the breathtaking landscape…WOW!

The “magical, elegant and stunning photos”…Double WOW!

By reading AND watching this post, My Soul allowed the rest of me to be still once more.

Bless you for sharing your undeniable gifts!

Love that Rick Rubin quote! And I totally agree that new ideas are best left to marinate for as long as they need to. It's a precious stage in the creative process.
