I believe the biggest and most important mystery for all of us is that important question, why am I here? What is my purpose in life? What gifts do I have that will help or provide a service to others?
An even more fascinating question might be to look at tragic life events and to try to figure out why they happened. In my own life this would be being badly burned in a house fire, having a lifetime of chronic pain, or losing three family members who drowned in separate incidents, my sister, cousin and brother-in-law. The mystery would be having the insight to find a purpose in these events, or possibly to trace them back to previous lives.

My favourite fictional couple is definitely Jamie and Claire in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. Gabaldon's writing is so detailed that if you've read the entire series they almost become real for you. I love this couple because they are the perfect example of true unconditional love--something that is increasingly rare in our world. They experienced a type of pure love that crossed the boundaries of time and space, and their example can be an inspiration to everyone. They loved, respected and honoured each other, and this love was not based on physical appearance, ego, or accomplishments. They loved each other with compassion, understanding and respect.

You know I've never, ever had writer's block! My last book "The Genius of Spirit" was originally 650 pages. I just kept writing and writing. I think it's because I meditate daily--formal meditations every morning and evening and I journal my dreams. I believe any writer who does this--will never experience a block--since inspiration is not a mind thing--it comes directly from spirit which is the source of all new ideas and creativity.
