"Don't ask what the world needs.

Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
– Howard Thurman

"Jill, I have taken a lot of the Amherst Writers [classes] and did not find it as useful as your suggestions, exercises, and the solid concept, for me, of each muse. As I said, I use every one of them for different ways to write and teach. Thanks for your ingenuity and thanks for initiating this group so we can nourish each other as well."  
--Margie Pollock, Orlando Muse Facilitator
