I was in my 38th year, returning to school in a Master's Degree program at the "Institute for Wholistic Education", in the Amherst, Northhampton region of Massachusetts, beautiful.  The drive up was two plus hours, my first (believe it or not) long drive on my own, I was thinking thank heavens I over came my fear and learned to drive while I was attending the Spiritualist church classes.

The Institute was a private home with a wonderful very large room, high ceilings, windows and doors all around, it felt like home.  I want to share with you one event that I as a teacher then especially felt gifted to witness. 

My adviser was Jack Canfield, yes, the "Chicken Soup for The Soul" guy!  We were all sitting there one afternoon on the floor, Jack was at the flip chart, talking away always on, I don't recall what we were focusing on that day, for a small moment, Jack looked away in a dreamy state out the window, then he gave that smile and stated "wouldn't it be great to compile real stories about real people of success in their life for people to read, like.....chicken soup for the soul.  He smiled, his face red, I looked at him in the eye and said, "You know Jack I think you might have something there", we all concurred. 

There it was, as simple as that.  He was creating lessons, pulling from his brain, in the flow and out it came, it will be that way for you too, it you let it.
