As creators, the third gift, we possess the remarkable ability to bring forth new ideas, art, and solutions into the world.

Reflecting on the Creator
The question of who is doing the creating? can lead us to profound self-discovery. By recognizing ourselves as individual expressions of the Divine Source, we honor our unique contributions to the web of life. Understanding "Who do I think I am?" is essential, as it shapes our identity, purpose, and how we interact with the world. The most important question we can answer is who do you think you are? There comes a point where you realize you are not your body, or your thoughts, or your race or sex or limitations you have placed on yourself. There is a driving force within you. What is it? Who are YOU?
