What turns you on creatively? What makes you feel your inner red, even if it looks/feels/tastes purple or blue or gold rainbow glitter mauve? It’s time to create your self anew. Show your wack. Wave your freak flag. Bless us with your honest beauty and ugly glory. We’re not here for fakes. We’re here for the real you. So, let ‘er rip. Wide open. Wider still. Because if you never let your self fly free, messy and raw and real, you’re withholding sustenance for the universe. Yes, sustenance. You. Believe it or not, the universe gets off on you. No matter what you’re doing or not doing.  If you’re holding tight, not being you, keeping your self stiff and contained and proper and “normal” (which by the way does not mean “natural”), the universe is sucking on dry air and preservatives and other toxic blehs and will reflect that right back to you. The universe can’t run on empty. So wouldn’t you rather give the gods and goddesses a juicy fortifying show they won’t forget? A show so bold and true and nourishingly yum that the universe can’t help but give your life a standing ovation? Than share your inner bounty in the ways that feel appropriate for you and watch the abundance come right back atcha. Acknowledge your worth, your gifts (even if they don’t look like stereotypical “gifts”), your piece in the divine whole and get creative. Dance, sing, write, paint, swear, rip, slice, snap, type, draw your self together.

And, if it feels right, send me a snapshot or a note. Send in pictures of your journal, your art (or a friend’s or stranger's that twinkles you just right), an altar, ideas for rituals, a juicy quote, a funky story of how the universe winked at you, send me anything that reflects you being you. Tell me how you’re spreading the red. Tell me your story, your ideas, your philosophy, your desires, your experiences, your doubts, your knowing. And by doing so you will be inspiring thousands of other women (and men) to expand their own inner wow till we create a wave of red so fresh, so real, so bright that the universe smiles and swoons and boogies out a victory dance.

If you want to share send me an email: sera@serabeak.com
And be sure to tell me if you want your glow posted.

Original Red Book: - the messy and raw one I did when I was 26. The one that got me all hot and bothered and eventually, in a cosmically round about way, published. What will turning red do for you?

Here’s an interview from the wonderful blogger “artsy mama” about the original red book and the art and soul of creative journaling.
