Not long ago, I was invited to be a guest on Voice of America radio. My friend Sheryl Lynn invited me to join her on her program “Glow with the Flow” March 11, 2010. I will once again have an on air conversation with a good friend who was there when the “Sacred Fire” CD made it’s debut and has been witness to the evolution of my own Sacred Fire.

“So, what would you like to talk about?” she asked beginning our usual dialogue. With a history of several on-air conversations and a common trait of being well versed in a variety of subjects, this was not an unusual question for one radio host to ask another.

“Passionate Choices” came my reply.

It was automatic. The words were out of my mouth before I could process them and they have been ringing in my ears ever since.

Most people understand (at least in context) what “Sacred Fire” means when I speak about it. That is a good thing, because I can’t always define it. Offering a detailed description for someone else seems a little like trying to describe why they might like chocolate. It is simply: different for everyone.

I can only define my own Sacred Fire: It is the juice, the spark, the mocha in my java that gets me up in the morning. It is the reason I live and breathe and smile. It once seemed like a destination, but I now know it as the continuation of the journey (the only one worth taking, really)…

Then in giving the definition of a Passionate Choice (or choices) the clarity began to reveal itself. Unlike “Sacred Fire", which may seem fuzzy at times (especially if you are in that slightly awkward place of finding yours), “Passionate Choices” can be easily understood by the individual as what feels most “right” to them in the moment. The words do not require definition, but will take each us to our own magnificent place of illumination and warmth where Sacred Fire lives.

I’m sure there’s a song in there somewhere….
