The Gift of Wonder

Sometime this week, do something that fills you with wonder. Allow yourself to experience awe. This can be one of the best medicines for whatever ails us. I present workshops and retreats to writers and other artistic types, and I tell them that the best way to fill up a creative well that’s gone dry is to do something that fills you with wonder. Witness something that fills you with wonder. Let your heart be your guide.

 

When do you feel your soul lift? When do you feel as if you are breathing deeply for the first time in a long time? Where is your wonder?
