In writing this book, I aim to offer inspiration to engage the broad spectrum of talented writers, actors, composers, dancers, musicians, fine artists (across the broad spectrum of graphic arts), et al. Talented men and women of all ages, nationalities, and personalities offer a broad range of expressions within the collective human imagination. Within each artist's area of giftedness lies a unique vision and expression of the state of our world in the present moment... and what that world landscape may become for you in the future.
You will gain the most benefit by relating each reflection to your unique gift(s) as you spend time each day pondering these brief moments of enlightenment. How much time? That is up to you. I intend the reflection questions at the end of each day to spark helpful insights that will feed and enhance your growth as an artist. These questions invite you to internalize what you've just read. Doing so will foster greater understanding of your personally satisfying?and often mystifying?artistic gifts.

I was born in Santa Monica, California, USA, and now live and write in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am the author of thirteen books, including seven novels and two children's books. My most recent work of fiction is There's More . . . : A Novella of Life and Afterlife. My most recent nonfiction work is The Soul of Art, in which I explore the spirituality of creativity and the arts in all forms.
