                    |  |  | | That Listening Magic 
 What
 would happen if you listened to your heart and followed your 
creative instincts? What would happen if you honored and paid attention 
to your insights, perceptions, experiences and stories?
 
 Sometimes we need help listening to ourselves.
 
 The Wildfire Writing classes and experiences are as much about listening as they are about creating.
 
 You
 can write for yourself and create on your own, it's true. But when you 
have a listener, or a whole roomful of listeners, you can feel the 
magic.
 
 The Wildfire experience offers you both the give and take of listening. When others read, you listen deeply. Once you've experienced this, you find the wonder and reward in attending to the souls of others. It's a happy addiction. You begin to crave deeper exchanges and listening in your daily world.
 
 If you have been meaning to pop in to the community but haven't had the chance, remind yourself that you can't get that listening magic when you're all alone.
 
 Grab an hour and drop into the Cascade Park Library for Wildfire Wednesday, or check out a Master class (space available!), or sign up for a session of Wildfire Writing I or II.
 
 If you'd like to zero in on solo encouragement and accountability, talk to me about working together as writer and coach. This is an excellent time for new coaching clients.
 
 My ears and I are here . . . ready and willing!
