The End Is Just The Beginning

Dear Skirt! Readers,

Today is my last post as Muse of the Month. It’s been an amazing blogging adventure, one that brought me to interior places I didn’t know existed. I wanted to thank all of you who’ve read my humble words, especially those who posted their own heartfelt comments. I hope in some way large, medium or small these combined posts have helped you find a way to take a chance on yourself and “live more dangerously.”  

As for me, this is just another beginning. In the wee morning hours of yesterday, I decided to expand my inspirational workshops by spinning them off onto their own web site, where I will also have a blog. It will probably take a good couple of weeks to get “Giulietta the Muse” up and running. In the meantime, if you want to stay in touch with me or learn more about my “Finding Your True Genius” workshops, please stop by my web site http://www.designing-words.com. If you sign up for the “Dare To Be Different” newsletter there is a place to check off more info for “Giulietta the Muse” or drop me a note through the contact form.

I offer “Finding Your True Genius” workshops to people who want to know their real purpose on the planet and we all have one. If you ask someone what s/he does for a living, you’ll probably be rattled off some skill or job title. With this tidbit of not-much-information you form an opinion of that person based on the value our society associates with such a skill or a job title.

Think of all the amazing people  -- like the American Idol contestants that didn’t make it -- who get shunted to society’s sidelines because their work credentials don’t make the pretentious grade. And then think of all the amazing people who are miserable in their jobs because they made the pretentious grade but it has nothing to do with their true genius.

Instead, try and imagine how much more uplifting and more possibility filled the world might be if we went around asking each other, “Say, what’s your true genius?” I can honestly say that before I discovered my own genius — Challenger of Assumptions  — I felt boxed in by what “I did for a living,” handicapped by my title & skillset. Now I make sense not only to myself, but also to everyone else.

Life is short. Why not make it as sweet as possible?

Wishing you an exciting life of living dangerously!

Muse thx,

Giulietta
