As 2020 ends and 2021 begins, Suzi and I wish you all possible blessings, good health and deep, powerful healing for all life on our beautiful planet.

And there's a question about writing - how we achieve the discipline to do it. Maggy's answer? Engage with the Muse of inspiration. She's there and she's waiting, but you have to show up.
