A Muse Flash!

So what is a muse?

A muse is something that we all hear about, and so many strange connotations arise in our minds when we think of a muse. Some of the amusing definitions I’ve heard are “mermaid-like creatures who whisper words and music into the listening ears of reclining Greek men” and “those glowing crystals in Arizona that are supposed to deepen your insight.” The most popular definition of a muse is “a goddess who inspires a creative artist, especially a painter, writer or a poet.”

Now as Christian writers, we know who our true Muse is, don’t we?

Our Muse is the amazing and powerful Holy Spirit who lives and dwells within each of us. As we all journey and deepen our relationship with our Creator, we surrender to the flow of the Spirit.

In doing so, we can be certain that amazing surprises will show up in our writing. Be open to them because God is going do new things in you on a continual basis and you won’t want to miss any of it! Oh, my Sacred Circle Sister, I don’t want you to miss any of His Holy Spirit whispers! Your beautiful inner butterfly scribe begins to materialize and sprout wings as you grow with God! Promise yourself the joy of meeting with God daily. Crave this time with Him. Embrace it. Love it. Time with the Holy Spirit is so good… soak in His wisdom, His sacred whispers.

Musings of the Majestic,

our Group Coaching sessions.

This has awakened in me a new perspective filled with hope and adventure. I was truly blessed by this session. I will be working on my 2 pictures Monday afternoon & Tuesday afternoon of next week. However, I believe this assignment could be addicting enough to proceed before then. I loved it!! Thank you so much sweet Kathryn Rich Bonner for all of your time you have shared to enrich all of us!!! God bless you and refresh you in abundance as you have refreshed ♥

I finally got to listen to the call...thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved everyone's stories and hearing how they all approached the picture from very different places. I did the exercises as well before I listened to theirs and mine was totally different as well. This is so helpful Kathryn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I cannot begin to explain the impact "Ignite the Writer Within" Private Group Coaching with Kathryn Bonner has had on my LIFE!!! First, I "wasn't a writer, I'm a speaker", well, as they say, if you speak, you write! This conference has literally transformed my calling! These ladies know what they teach. It has been through their encouragement and commitment that my ministry was launched. In fact, I have started my own writer's group and it has encouraged and strengthened other writers. These women are living their legacy. Definitely a "must do"!!
~Julie Cardoze-Cortelezzi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Being part of the Ignite The Writer Within Private Coaching Circle with Kathryn Bonner is an AMAZING experience! I have had an abundance of ideas to write about but I wasn't able to focus on one subject and actually get started. Everything changed for me within 15 minutes of the first session! The support and encouragement from Kathryn and from each of the participants in the group conquered any fears that I had...they simply vanished. I will forever be grateful to you Kathryn...you have blessed my heart and my life! Love, Bette
~ Bette Hamby
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am one lucky person. One night I was cruising through my facebook page and I saw where Kathryn Bonner was going to teach a writing class. The thing that intrigued me most was the fact that I could take this writing class right in my own office with my pajamas on. Glory be!! Talk about fate dropping in my lap. I loved the class. Smart women teach the class and have organized a notebook with all the prompts and suggestions in it. It is an action book that I will use for years to come. Let's say you are stuck on your writing. Just turn in your action book and do the activities and just like magic your problem is solved. Say the old gremlin is pestering you today and telling you that you are unworthy and can't write. Who do you think you are, the gremlin asks? Again, turn in your action book and get immediate help.

But the BEST surprise of all is when Kathryn offered the separate Group Coaching. What a blessing that was. She gives individual help that encourages and supports each one in the Private Group Coaching. It's better than anything I have ever experienced. Not only is she an instant friend, she prays you through your road blocks. I loved the coaching and would recommend it to anyone who needs a nudge in your writing and calling from God. Marilyn Davis, Retired Elementary Principal and educator for 41 years. I am now an co-author with my dear friend Roxie McBride in a book called, "Adelia's Last Name".
~ Marilyn Davis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let me start by saying that being part of the Ignite the Writer Within course itself has been an amazing journey for me that has been filled with so many wonderful doors opening in my mind and in my heart! Being part of the Ignite The Writer Within Private Group Coaching Circle with Kathryn Bonner has helped to build the confidence I have in myself as a writer. I no longer tell people that I'd like to aspire to writing, but that I AM a writer. Being part of this Group Coaching Circle allows one to share a part of themselves without fear of harsh criticism or indifference has made a big impact on my willingness to take chances with my writing. The results of both the class and the reinforcement of the Private Group Coaching Circle have been - for me - nothing less than life-changing. I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity, and to have been able to meet these amazing, Godly women whom I hope to know and keep in contact with for years to come!
~Timber Cypret
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am blessed that I was able to take part in the Ignite the Writer and Private Group Coaching Circle with Kathryn Bonner. The writing curriculum was a huge blessing as I worked through the exercises and participated in the online discussions. I have felt God's call on my life to write for many years and this group has given me the confidence to take bold leaps of faith.
The Coaching has been a huge blessing as the discussions are always so helpful and very thought provoking. I have written 4 chapters for my book and have recently begun working on Bible Study curriculum as well. Thank you Kathryn and all of the women who were a part of this wonderful experience.

‘STEP OUT’ of Your Comfort Zone – and Into Your Life!

Newly published Author Marykay Moore and Women of Passionate Purpose team member, urges readers to ‘STEP OUT’ of their Comfort Zone – and Into Their Lives! Marykay a Former nun says letting go of fears helps one take hold of dreams!

Do you feel there’s something more for your life, but you’re not sure how to reach it? Do you want to move forward and take hold of your dreams? In her book, Stepping Out: Nun No More, author Marykay Moore shares her courageous adventure of stepping out of a life she had known and loved for thirty years. As she shares from her own storehouse of life experiences, joys, challenges, and trials, perhaps you too will be compelled to “step out” from where you are and dare to live again. Where are you in your life journey? Are you ready to embark on a new path, find fresh vision for your life, and pursue your God-given dreams?

If you find yourself nodding yes, then this book was handpicked just for you. “This is not just any ordinary book—it is born of God,” says Moore, who after leaving the convent she called home for 30 years, faced her fears and stepped out in faith to a new life. “It will speak to you of His plan, His purpose, His vision for your life. Whatever your present circumstances in life, this book will inspire, encourage, motivate, and empower.”

“Life is a gift from God,” says Moore, “and He wants us to live it abundantly.” She hopes readers will realize they can face their fears and take a leap of faith that will change and transform their lives.

Book: STEPPING OUT…NUN NO MORE
Can be purchased from, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and

Be Inspired to Succeed and Transform Your Life

This New Book Shows How You Can Too

Whether we acknowledge it or not, the way we determine success greatly impacts our lives, according to the newly published book Inspired Women Succeed authors Diane Cunningham and Jo Ann Fore. The founder of Hopelyn International Network is featured as one of the inspirational stories in this book.

Dr Hopelyn shares in this book, “My career with a prestigious life insurance company in Jamaica came to a halt and I found myself at a place of immense depression. Suddenly helpless and hopeless. The doctors diagnosed me as “suffering from anxiety.” How did I get here? During those six months of desolation, I listened to God. I could hear him saying, “It is time to make a change – let go.”

How can God ask me to let go something I loved so much and was finally successful at? How could I make this shift?”

When you are inspired you gain HOPE… Hope to Succeed… You are reminded of how unique and irreplaceable you are, no matter the circumstances in your life. This is the HOPE you now have!

You have Help, Optimism, Perseverance, and Emmanuel.

Help from those Father has placed along you as you travel this journey of life. Who are the people that have had a lasting and positive impact throughout your life? Your Best Friend? Your Mentor? Your Accountability Partner? Your Role Model?

These individuals are in your life for a reason. They are there to encourage, motivate, offer wisdom, unconditional love, and impact your life in a dynamic way.

Optimism leads to opportunity. The opportunity to develop your spiritual habits and discover the gifts, talents and skills. When was the last time you did a check and balance of your life roles? Are they in rhythm with who you say you are?

Do you know who you are, what are your values? Have you explored your strengths to counteract your weaknesses? It’s time to take the steps to move from mediocrity to opportunity, and this can be done with the help of a skilled guide to coach you through the process.

Perseverance allows you to persist through the rough paths of the journey, or times when you reach a plateau. Yes, when surrounded by our family, friends, mentors, and role models, we discard everything that hinders and the sin that so easily keep us confused. Its time to run with perseverance the race marked specifically for us.

Emmanuel “God with us.” He is there with you always. He remains quiet until you evoke the voice of God within. When you desire to hear from Him, his spirit will awaken. “Behold I stand at the door and knock.”

Dismissing Your gremlin (with a lower-case g!)

If you’re a writer or an artist, you’re probably also have a “gremlin,” a voice, either loud or hushed, who keeps you from doing what God has called you to do. Every creative soul I know has one! If yours is a talker, the good news is that you can duct tape his mouth. If yours is the quiet, insidious kind, you can kick him out of your space because your God is a Mighty Awesome God! Our gremlins show up in all kinds of interesting shapes. Here are a few you might recognize:

* Procrastination. I’ll organize my kid’s sock drawer if a deadline is looming! Get a great book like The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and pick a short exercise. Put it on your calendar and ask a friend to hold you accountable.

* Feeling Blank. Believing that you don’t have anything interesting to express is simply not true. You DO have something valid to share.

* Overwhelm. If you think you’ve got too much on your plate, you probably do. Consider letting go of some things, and placing your art higher up on your list.

* Plain Jane Lies. We’re human so we know that negative thoughts enter our minds. Among other things, I often hear, “That paragraph is no good.” “No one will want to read that nonsense?” Ask God to help you recognize negative thought patterns and for every frankly rude comment, write two or more nice things to yourself. “That’s wonderful work!” “Great job of showing up at the page today!”

As Christian women, we need to invite God into our work. With Him, all things are possible! If, as you’re writing, your gremlin sneaks out of the closet, you can choose to simply take notice and dismiss him. I like to say, “Hello. You are not needed here today. Don’t make me get the duct tape. Good-bye!” Focus on the beauty and blessings God has laid before you in the moment, and watch your creativity come out to play!

Are you COMMITTING to your DREAMS or are you giving up on your DREAMS?

It’s one or the other…

Find out what you want and go after it as if your life depends on it. Why? Because it does! ~ Les Brown

We know that we should quit doing the things that cause us to procrastinate, or keep us from doing the things that really matter, but when you when you give up on your dreams and passions you really are giving up on your life, giving up on yourself. There comes a time in your life when you need to stop dreaming about who you want to be and start becoming that person! We want to help you do just that!! It’s really exhilarating too! I am going to ask you to do something right now, no matter where you are, even if people are around you and will think you are a bit nuts, I want you to do it anyway! OK, you ready? I want you to say it out loud with enthusiasm “I am going to start living and being the person I know I am supposed to be! I am no longer going to let my God-given dreams fall by the wayside!!” And say this out loud too… “I am a Spiritwalker! I am fueled and ignited by the power of the Holy Spirit that lives and dwells within me!”

Here’s the question… Have you had your dream of writing your first book, or another book circling around in your head for a long time that it seems as if it may have just circled right out of you? Well, now is your chance to circle back around and remember the dream! Take a moment right now to remember the dream, blow the dust off of it, let is start to shine once more, let it begin to take new life, let it become ignited within you again! Now is the perfect time to commit to living your life with passion and purpose!

“…a Great Door for effective work has been opened to me, but there are many who oppose.” 1 Corinthians 16:9

There are two parts to this piece of Scripture and they sort of oppose each other… just take a look at what is here… If God has given you ideas for your writing, this is a GREAT DOOR for you to step through! This is no small miniscule door here; it’s a GREAT DOOR with which you will have EFFECTIVE WORK to do!

Think about work that is effective – that is work that is useful, valuable, beneficial to others, this is what you are born for! Step through your God-given door to write!

Now let’s look at the second part of this verse. What is your opposition? Is it yourself, your own negative self-talk that has been keeping you from committing? Are you listening to pessimistic people?

You know, there are people around you that don’t like to see others live out their dreams, sad but true. These people are peppered all through the Scriptures and all through your life.

People who don’t run after their dreams with passion are prone to discourage and criticize people who are. Don’t let them or any other kind of opposition stop you from stepping through the GREAT DOOR FOR EFFECTIVE WORK that God has opened to YOU!

Maybe you are not sure how to obtain or start Igniting the Writer Within You?

That is where my desire is to aid you along the writers’ path. All of the women here at Women of Passionate Purpose are truly Passionate about you living out your life with the ability to BE BRAVE with your life! Step out into the IMPOSSIBLE where God makes it POSSIBLE!! Walk with us into this powerful and sacred space! Do not let fear stop you from committing to the most amazing parts of yourself! Weather you have a mystery, a history, lyrics waiting to be written then angelically sung, a fiction, a non-fiction, a devotional, a study, a self help book, a blog, or an article matters not! Just say YES! We will take it from there!!

THE WAYS WE LEARN
There are three classes of people in the world.
The first LEARN FROM THEIR OWN EXPERINECE – these are the WISE;
The second LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS – these are HAPPY;
The third NEITHER FROM THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE NOR THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS – these are FOOLS.

Creating the Perfect Sacred Space

Do you have a sacred space where the stirrings of your soul can move through you onto the page? Our sacred writing spaces are like little homes to our inner writers, sanctuaries for our souls. Their whispers dance within us and swirl around us like angels as we pen the stories that God wants us to tell. Your writing space can be majestic and towering, like a gorgeous guest house in the hill country, or simple and basic, like a porch swing in your back yard… a corner chair next to books and soft light, or a bean bag near a window where you can hear birds singing. You can turn your home office into your sacred writing space by de-cluttering and organizing, adding a beautiful plant or cross, a painting that inspires you, a picture of you with your favorite people. What makes your heart sing? What opens your soul to create a direct connection to the Great Author?

Take a few moments to follow God’s direction: “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). In your quiet time with your loving Creator, ask Him how to set up your sacred space to best create for His glory!

Dare to Dream Again

Dreams are passions in disguise; take a minute to ponder this idea. If you set goals every year how many times have those goals come from your dreams and passions? More than likely the majority of them are God-given dreams! How exciting this is, and sometimes your dreams and passions can actually be wonderfully scary!

Our dreams stir within our souls, they are calling out for action.

If you focus on the scary part of your dreams, you will find yourself struggling with your dreams and could actually talk yourself out of them. I want to encourage you to embrace your dreams, to Dare to Dream! Mike Jones’ quote that says “A mind focused on doubt and fear cannot focus on the journey of victory.” This fits perfectly here because it’s possible you have doubt or fear, therefore you’re struggling with your dreams.

Check out these tips to facilitate you in overcoming the doubt and negative self-talk that rolls around in your head. This will help you dream again.

1. Speak out loud that you believe in yourself when it comes to your dreams.

2. Embrace your “God-confidence!

3. Push your fears. Discover what your fears are and begin intentionally working through them. It’s possible your fears could be from lack of knowledge or the fear of failure. You need to remember that failure is not the end of the world. It’s also not the end of your dream. Find a way to overcome the fear and you’ll have success.

4. Keep Dreaming! Realizing that dreams are nothing to be afraid of, rather they are to be embraced in order to become a reality in your life by taking each faith filled step toward them!

If you dare to dream, make it happen in whatever way you can. Dreams are meant to be fun and exciting, and we recognize that they can be scary; however, they are never impossible to reach.

Another great tip for you when you begin feeling the fear and overwhelm of your dream, try breaking your dream down into smaller dreams or steps, without rushing it. It will come to fruition when you work it and don’t stress through the process!

Do You need to Ignite the Writer Within?

Do you have a fear of writing, but you know you have a book or story inside you that’s just begging to come out? Fear is not of God. If God has placed within you this beautiful and sacred dream, then begin to stand in that knowledge. He would not have planted this seed within you if He didn’t know you could do it. Stand in the faith that He has in you! Begin rising up with us! We will walk this road with you, and we truly desire for your success!

We have a 4 Week Tele-Course coming up in April that will help you to remember that God wants you to reach success. This course has four classes entitled Blank Expressions, Ignite and Write, Get Your Flo-Jo on, and Stoke It! The titles of these courses tell you al lot about what we will be doing!

In this writing course we will help you reach your goals and you will experience the awesome feeling of accomplishment and great success, BUT, you wont’ experience this if you choose not to do it.

We are here to help you “IGNITE THE WRITER WITHIN!” and have fun while doing so! We are passionate about the way God moves, works, connects, and empowers us to live absolutely awakened lives. Let us show you how to make that happen for you too!

Facing Your Fears!

Fears are something that can scare you away from doing something you’ve always dreamed of doing. You can set out to achieve a goal and then something may happen and your dream can go down the drain within minutes.

When this happens you have two options to consider. One is to let the dream go away and the other is to overcome the fear and set out again to achieve your goal. I found a quote that fits perfectly with the second option.

“Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it” ~Bill Cosby

In my opinion Bill Cosby really had something when he said that. Why let fear get the best of you. Does fear really ever hurt? I’m sure if you think about it long enough you would figure how a way that fear could hurt, but more than likely your answer will be no.

Fear is a feeling and nothing more than that so it’s likely that after you think about what you’re going through and you decide what actions you will take to overcome it you’ll be able to achieve your dreams and goals.

One way is to find a coach, a friend or a family member to encourage you to move past your fears. Someone you can trust as well as be honest and willing to push you along to overcome those blocks that keep you stuck in fear. With this person together you journey to face your fears and achieve those beautiful dreams that are currently waiting to become a reality!.

I believe the best way is to hire a coach. Your coach will rally round your Big Dreams and work through those fears as well as develop an amazing and doable plan of action, causing you to become what I call a FAITH WALKER. Keeping you from being a FEAR WALKER! Pointing out choices, and your strengths and reminding you of all those that will benefit from your beautiful dream. Showing you how easily you can live out your destiny Sometimes along the journey of pushing past those fears, you begin to struggle because the fear shows up again and that is a point on the journey where you get with your coach and work through the process again.

The best way to face your fears is to acknowledge the fear and everything about it. Notice what causes the fear to raise its ugly head and then you can combat it next time before hand! You can learn techniques to overcome the “false fears” and decide your goal is more important than the fear. No matter what you need to do, face your fear and Live Your Dream!

Do you have a dream of writing a book? Actually, we all have a book in us, but what we may not know is how to bring it out or what to do to get started. Don’t keep your book bottled up inside of you; start taking steps to living more passionately!

Here’s another question for you… Do you have ideas for a children’s book, a story, a fiction or non-fiction book, a fairy-tale book, your memoir, a self-help book, or maybe a how-to book?

Are Your Passions Gathering Dust?

A passion is something you feel very strongly about and it’s something you may feel the need to share with others. This can be a business or something else you feel the need to share. For example, you can share your faith with others or you can share your love of music. No matter what it is, you don’t want to let that passion gather dust.

When you allow this to happen you won’t give yourself a chance to reach success and help others. When this happens you’re allowing your fears to get the best of you – NOT what you want to happen, and NOT the habits you want to create for you life.

LET’S BLOW THE DUST OFF!! Take two minutes, really quickly right here, right now, and answer this question – What passion has a pile of dust gathered all over it? Write it in this blank… ________________________________________________________________

It’s decision time! What do you think you need to do to stop your passions from gathering dust? The first thing to do is find your motivation… lose the dust! Your motivation may be God or your family; no matter what it is just find it and hang on to it and don’t let it slip away. Write it down and keep it in front of you at all times.

Once you have the motivation your passion begins to live again! Then create the steps necessary so you know what you need to do to reach success.

Then set goals for your passion. No matter what your passion is, goals are something you must set. .

Once you have your goals in place you need to take the time to decide what you need to do each day, week, and month to accomplish those goals. It’s imperative that you set your goals this way so you know what you’ll need to do at all times to attain success. When you have these in place it will be easier for you to accomplish what you set out to do and prevent the dust from collecting on your passion!!

When you attain success it’s important to CELEBRATE in some fashion to reward yourself. You have just accomplished something huge and you need to recognize that YOU MADE IT! When you do this you’ll be excited to continue on and that’s exactly what you need. If you don’t celebrate you’ll feel like you’re not doing any good and that can cause you to give up and allow your passions to gather dust again.

Your passion is your dream and it’s something you feel very strongly about in one way or the other. When you do nothing with that passion it begins to collect dust. That’s not what you need or want so it’s best to use these tips to find a way to BLOW THE DUST OFF OF YOUR AMAZING DREAMS and get back on the path of your passion! You can do it!

WOMEN OF PASSIONATE PURPOSE CHRISTIAN WRITERS' RETREAT

CHRISTIAN WOMEN'S WRITING RETREAT NEAR THE POCONO MOUNTAINS

SEPTEMBER 21ST - 25TH, 2009

Oh... ladies!!! Here we go! We are beginning an unforgettable Writers' Retreat together. Each of us will all be woven together forever more as sisters who are on the writers path together. Can you believe it?

Each on the verge of writing... some for the first time, some who have done so for years...

Writing books and plays and devotions and life stories all divulging pieces of our own journey and heart, all for the glory of God. Can you feel it? Can you feel the blowing breezes of the Holy Spirit, the excitement that we all have? Many of you are coming with the ability to finally admit that you have a book or song (or something) within you that it ready to be born. Ready to speak your truth, to be vulnerable as you share the things that God has beckoned you to. You will be a jeweler or words, string each shiny word together, creating something of incredible worth page after page.

We are just a few short weeks away from our writing retreat! Marykay and I have truly enjoyed putting this retreat together for you. We have been in daily prayer for each of you as you prepare and process what you are embarking upon. Please keep both of us in your daily prayers as well.

Here in Austin we have had record high temps that have left many of us parched and thirsty for places just like Pennsylvania! There will be several Texas gals coming who I know will welcome this wonderful reprieve from the heat...

I can see many of you in my mind clicking away at your computers after reading this newsletter booking the best flight for your arrival! I see the cracks of smiles in your faces as you think about the getaway, as you contemplate the beautiful women (from many parts of the US and one all the way from Canada) that you are on the verge of meeting... coupled with a bit of stress knowing that you still have things to do in order to leave. BUT the ability to have these days of pure bliss... writing, worshipping, wondering... mmmmm... mmmmm... soaking it all in is what propels you onward. Ahh... to write and dream and listen to the Holy Spirit's leading.

I can't wait to see each of your faces and I can't wait to hear about all that the Lord propels you to write!

We only have three slots left, so be sure to let your girl friends know if they want to join you. Have them go to the website at www.WomenOfPassionatePurpose.com to register and pay.

Writing & Worshipping,
Kathryn
