Between God and Heavenreaders' posts, I learn so much.
Recently Magda, who is sponsoring the Godwriting(tm) workshop in Turin, Italy, has had some wonderful ideas, ideas so simple and so great that I have to wonder how it is that I get an idea in my head and can't seem to see beyond it. At least not until someone like Magda says something that breaks me out of my one way of thinking.
I'll tell you what I mean. I spent years with printed-out Heavenletters spread all over my floor, trying to sort them into wonderful categories. Goodness knows, we have enough material for many dozens of books.
One example is a book on Death and Grieving that Margaret from Iowa and I worked on, especially Margaret, and we just couldn't get it right, or what I thought was right anyway. What goes where and how do we find the right place for something to fit when it can fit in so many places? What are the categories within categories? I began to feel that maybe Heavenletters were meant to just fall where they may. In any case, I couldn't seem to manifest my vision. I think now that I was perhaps too ambitious and was biting off more than I could chew.
I came to the point where I thought that Heavenletters would just have to be free-flow. God doesn't organize Heavenletters according to categories. He doesn't spend a week on one topic, or one month. Heavenletters just come one after the other like leaves on a tree. He has the flow he wants, and the flow is not in an order that we would call orderly!
Well, you notice that the Heaven book, Heavenletters(tm), Love Letters from God, Book One, is not organized according to subjects. It is 91 appealing Heavenletters that I plucked from the thousands and lined them up in a way I thought was good.
Now, Magda, coming from a fresh perspective has really opened my eyes!
She suggested making a Heaven CD in Italian. Great idea! Of course, I'm thinking the way I have always thought, to get in as many Heavenletters as we can fit in one CD. But what is Madga's idea? It is so simple and so beautiful, I have to scatch my head and wonder why I didn't think of this!
Magda said, "Let's make a CD of 7 Heavenletters."
That's it! How simple. How manageable. How easy! A light bulb lit up in my head!
This was a great revelation that I gained from Magda. Let's make it simple! I should have known that. In fact, I always say that -- "Let's make it simple" -- but I sure didn't have the know-how to apply that to Heaven books and CD's!
I LOVE Magda's idea of CD's of 7 Heavenletters. Perhaps booklets or ebooklets of 7 Heavenletters too. We could have CD's on all kinds of themes. Much simpler than trying to pick out and organize 100 CD's. So much less time-consuming, less costly to make, less costly to buy. And if on the website, maybe very inexpensive, or free, or by donation only. Where has my head been?!!!!
Magda knows how to record and will read 7 Heavenletters out loud for an introductory CD to use to attract many people to come to the Godwriting workshop in Italy. Magda has lined up a beautiful composer with a beautiful voice to begin and end the CD with, and include a little bit of instrumental music in between the 7 Heavenletters. I heard a sample of this woman's music, and I am sold out.
My idea is that perhaps this magnificent musician will in the future make whole CD's of lyrics taken from Heavenletters.
Just recently a young musician in California asked if he could use some lyrics from HEAVEN #3122 Dream New Dreams.
Some time ago an exquisite composer -- from Italy, as a matter of fact -- composed some Heaven music that took my breath away. Heaven Admin and I wanted to jump on this.
I know this posting is long. Just a little more.
What I also realize is that I am stretched with all there is to do for Heaven that I am already doing, and I keep being stretched more. How Heaven Admin accomplishes all he does is beyond my grasp. I am thinking he stays up late every night working on Heaven needs. So much is behind the scenes that we don't even know.
Heavenreaders have made Youtube presentations of Heavenletters. We would love more of these as well.
Are there others as well as Magda who not only have ideas for Heaven CD's but would go ahead and create CD's for us?
Chuck is already working on a Heaven book, as you may remember.
So, regarding books and CD's, what are your ideas? And might you manifest them?
Now my friend has come to pick up to go hiking in the woods for exercise, so I have to stop writing or I might never stop.
With love and blessings,
Gloria
