"Discovering a hidden talent is actually a very big deal...It can save the life of the real you, the part of you
that's special." - Mira Kirshenbaum
Have you ever discovered a hidden talent? Are you feeling drawn to anything new and different now?
I don't know if it's a hidden talent, but I've been feeling a pull toward stand up comedy. I'm wondering: might I be able to offer inspirations about hope,
compassion - all twelve gifts - in funny ways as well as my usual serious style?
I believe - regardless of age - we all have more to discover and develop within our gift of talent. We have more we can bring to the world to make a
difference.
Another question for you: Do animals and plants have talent?
I think they do.
Consider the beautyberry plant and shampoo ginger as examples. In another post, we
will.
For now, today, let's appreciate the abilities and interests we know we have and use them with love, wisdom, and joy to make a difference somehow,
somewhere.
As always,
Charlene
PS - I'll be traveling again. And so, beginning next Sunday, October 16 until Thanksgiving, my touchstones
will be short and simple, but sent, as always, with love and best wishes for all of us to be in touch with the best that's within us.
THE SEVENTH GIFT IS TALENT
May you discover your own special abilities and contribute them toward a better world.
