On this episode I'm so honored to be joined by the poet Chelan Harkin. Chelan's poetry journey began at age 21 on the heels of a traumatic event, a mystical event and an unparalleled creative opening where inspired verse started to pour through her with very little need for editing. Her experience with channeling the muse was profound and intimate but also quite private. It took Chelan 12 years to find the courage to share her poetry with the world through her first self-published book, "Susceptible to Light". This publishing journey that began at the end of 2020 has been something of a magic carpet ride characterized by prayer experiments gone right and has included some of the most awe-inspiring events that have completely shifted Chelan's way of relating to herself and the world. Her current published books include "Susceptible to Light", "Let Us Dance: The Stumble and Whirl with The Beloved", "Wild Grace" and "The Prophetess: The Return of The Prophet from The Voice of The Divine Feminine". On the latest episode we discuss:* How a brain tumor and a subsequent pilgrimage inspired by her Baha'i faith led to a spiritual awakening for Chelan at age 21, which included an influx of divinely inspired poetry * How Chelan experiences her creative inspiration as a flow of energy that offers tremendous insight and wisdom* The generative nature of suffering, and why she feels like suffering is simply "energy that hasn't been brought back into the fold of love" * Chelan's incredible publishing journey, which was presided over by two of her favorite dead poets, Hafez and Khalil Gibran* Plus, she reads the first poem that ever flowed through her, "Say Wow" Here are a few notes related to this episode:* You can follow Chelan on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chani.harkin/.

Right now, we're on the road, heading to Las Vegas for our upcoming wedding, and we've got our pup, Indi, along for the ride. We wanted to share this episode with you before the big day, so we can capture all the wedding planning craziness and the whirlwind of emotions that come with it. It all began with an engagement during a family vacation in Chelan, Washington, and we're excited to reminisce about those beautiful moments. We'll talk about the compromises we've had to make and even some DIY'ing we've embraced to make our day special and uniquely us!  We talk about how and why we chose to get married in Las Vegas and how we decided on some of our wedding day vendors.We hope you'll enjoy this episode as we give you a sneak peek into our journey and get ready to say "I do" in Las Vegas. Stay tuned for another bonus episode AFTER the wedding! 

3pm - Local Synagogues double down on heightened security over anti-semitism // Meanwhile; University of Washington activist group is hosting a ‘Day of Resistance’ rally tomorrow… Their flier includes cartoon images of terrorists in motorized parachutes // Big horned ram breaks windows in Chelan // Whidbey Island’s only elk is very grumpy… again… // Man who REALLY loves squirrels is arrested after shooting 80 protected hawks to ‘save them’ // John once killed a “non-protected” hawk for killing his beloved chicken that was actually a rooster // Shari explains ‘girl math’ and how younger generations use it to justify discretionary spending

At age 21 in a time of mental/emotional anguish, Chelan Harkin had a profound mystical experience in which she was shown in no uncertain terms that she needed to live in a deeply transparent and authentic way and that she would access her gifts to the degree that she opened her heart to her whole self--her joy, her trauma, her power, her tenderness. In this experience, she was also shown that she would one day create a book of poetry that would encapsulate this message. Stirred up by this experience and recognizing poetry as a key to her desired goal of unlocking authentic expression, she decided to try an experiment on herself that would change her life irreversibly. While Chelan had recognized poetry as a love and a gift, its flow was blocked by self-judgment and the paralysis of perfectionism so she decided to allow herself to write "a bad poem" every day for 30 days. This permission unlocked a characteristically different creative process in her and a magnificent poetic force began to pour through her that has not stopped flowing. Her publishing journey in only two years old and has been mystical and transformational and filled with prayer experiments gone right. Find her books on Amazon, Susceptible to Light,  Let Us Dance!
