 by Jenny Leigh Hodgins Looking externally for happiness or validation is ultimately futile. But most of us do that habitually. My 36-year practice of the SGI Buddhist life philosophy has taught me that I create happiness for myself and that every person is empowered with this potential. The core of this concept is that adversity develops inner strength. This concept is quite the opposite of the idea that adversity is something to avoid or minimize. Becoming a person who is spiritually strong enough to face, endure, search for the gain within and create positive meaning from struggles, and overcome them is how to create happiness intrinsically. In other words, using our problems to develop inner strength is how to build happiness. How does this work? First, I do not run away from difficulties. I look directly at my troubles. Acknowledging them is the first step. This action is an act of courage. That doesn't mean the fear goes away. Being brave doesn't mean you are not afraid. It means you feel the fear but take the necessary action anyway. I face my problems, even while feeling fear, and take action. From there, I can start finding the good, the gain, and the solution to win over each obstacle. But again—first, I muster audacious bravery to look straight at the problem. As Eleanor Roosevelt wisely stated, "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along. 'You must do the thing you think you cannot do." At that point, a celebration is in order. When you are courageous, you've already won. From there, strength grows. It is also important to repeatedly remind myself not to give up. Not to allow the current moment of difficulty to defeat my spirit. If I stand firmly, refusing to be defeated, this determination transforms into victory. Overcoming anything starts within the heart first—with a mindset. In any race, business endeavor, toward any goal, when addressing any failure or hardship, it is important to commit to making it all the way through to the end. Just making it to the end is a success. So, one of the first things I do when facing an obstacle is to strengthen my resolve to finish what I started. The key to success is this mindset to keep moving forward without retreating a single step. No matter what. When in the thick of challenges, whether internal or external, circumstantial or ongoing, focusing on my mindset is the key to breaking through to the next level. I remind myself that when I'm in the middle of a mountain climb, I must recognize that getting to the top takes time and effort. It is important to check my expectations. I cannot start the journey and get to the top in the amount of time or with the amount of effort it takes only to reach halfway up there. Sometimes I realize my calculations were way off. It may take much more effort and time to reach the goal than I originally thought because unexpected hindrances may arise that I did not foresee. That's when working on mindset and inner resolve is critical. When the issue becomes overwhelming, or I feel deflated, I must take a step back to reflect and reassess. I ask myself, what is the point of fighting so hard toward a goal or overcoming obstacles if I QUIT in the middle of it? Let's face it. We are ALWAYS in the middle of it! At that moment, sometimes it means I must dig my heels in more deeply to firm my inner strength and forge ahead again. But sometimes, I'm too tired or overwhelmed mentally to get there with the necessary mindset. At that moment—and along the way—it is important to:
—for the long haul.  Author Pianist Composer Creator Jenny Leigh Hodgins & her mother getting a nature reboot. When you need rest or a break, you must do what you need to do to be your best self. Taking a break, taking time to reflect, pray, sleep, immerse oneself in nature, play with friends, family, and loved ones, or the awe of art and music—these are all necessary ways to refuel yourself. When you do what is necessary to be at your best — to give yourself what you need to be your best —you can get back in there to continue the good fight. You need this for yourself and those around you impacted by your condition. I'm working on doing what I need to take care of myself first. I do this to not give up on all my goals. I take care of myself to prepare for overcoming the inevitable onslaught of hurdles I face as I gain ground toward my goal of winning an irrefutable victory. Let me recap;
Then get back to the drawing board. This strategy leads to winning and happiness. What are you doing to forge your happiness?

Facing difficulties head-on with all my might is exactly what forces my truest potential to arise  YourCreativeChord Pianist/Composer/Author/Podcast host Jenny Leigh Hodgins  Tree buds photo © 2023 J L Hodgins by Jenny Leigh Hodgins I'm fortunate to have a solid philosophy and life mentor. I'm grateful to have these as my central core and a base for all my actions. Both fuel my determination to forge my courage and keep moving forward to overcome every challenge and self-imposed restrictions. Regardless of external obstacles, truth be told, my main and greatest challenge is always to win over myself! It always amazes me how much we doubt ourselves. Once we make it through to the other side of the fence, I'm equally astounded by how impressive our true innate potential is! When I'm in the thick of serious problems or unexpected hurdles, it is sometimes difficult to see how truly capable I am of transforming the situation for the better. I learn every time, though, facing difficulties head-on with all my might is exactly what forces my truest potential to arise.  Buttercups, Lexington, KY photo © 2023 J L Hodgins Perhaps the greatest proof that I'm expanding my capacity is when I release the scaffolding of self-doubt as I persevere through each challenge. Using courageous action to win over each problem shows me how empowered each human being can be once we set our minds toward victory for the sake of ourselves and others. That's the key: making my overall goal bigger than my own ego-based desires to include purposefully empowering the best in myself and others. When I do something both for myself and for the sake of others, my potential rises up exponentially to the task. Thinking of how my courage-based actions may benefit others fuels my energy for the situation. An effect of my efforts for others is that my true capabilities emerge far greater than I expected. I'm amazed that boldly facing obstacles is the way to manifest my true potential. By tackling things head-on, I remove old debris like limited thinking or stagnation and find new growth with an expanded vision for my life and environment. Next time I start to whine about my circumstances, I must revisit this blog and appreciate how I can use everything to create value.  Star Magnolia photo © 2023 J L Hodgins  Roan Mountain, TN Photo © 2021 Jenny Leigh Hodgins by Jenny Leigh Hodgins I wrote the poem, Roaring In The Lion's Way (below), as a description of my process of developing faith. Faith in the universe, faith in myself, faith in my capacity to tap my inherent potential aligned with the universal rhythm of life. When in the midst of a struggle with life's inherent difficulties, feeling faith is no easy feat. It's like climbing a steep mountain or learning to find your voice. For me, I discovered that part of my process for believing in myself is allowing myself to 'free fall' into a state of trusting myself. Or life. Or the universal power inside me. That requires letting go of intellectualizing, which is my handy go-to but which inevitably runs me in circles instead of providing a real breakthrough. This poem is about honestly facing myself, my problems, and the truth of my reality, and through that process, learning to trust that through consistent thoughts, deeds, and actions based on my sincere determination, I win. First I win internally. Then my environment manifests my growth with benefit. This is what I've learned as an SGI Buddhist practitioner; Buddhism is life. And life, to me, is about what it takes to be a human who creates value no matter what circumstances occur. Hope you gain faith in yourself from reading my poem, Roaring In The Lion's Way. Roaring In The Lion's Way Free falling—Letting go Holding on only to hope Trusting with my faith Coming from a choice I make Face to face with myself Depending on nothing else Looking straight at the truth Determining to show proof Shine, grow, polish, rise Fighting to become wise Give, share, open, love Believing I have enough Touch, feel, care, show Syncing with a rhythmic flow Promise, vow, act, pray Create value from each day Free falling from inside Learning to enjoy the ride Releasing all delusions there Breathing in pure, fresh air Closing off from all doubt Floating like a happy cloud Soaking in endless space Blue skies of deepening faith. Shine, grow, polish, rise Fighting to become wise Give, share, open, love Believing I have enough Touch, feel. care, show Syncing with a rhythmic flow Promise, vow, act, pray Create value from each day Roaring in the Lion’s way.

Belief In Your Own Creative Vision How To Connect To Ignite Positive Power by Jenny Leigh Hodgins Unexpected obstacles can be transformed into opportunities for new growth through your spirit to keep going. Continuing toward a goal despite setbacks is the key to victory. The effort to continue also builds inner strength and wisdom. Everything has meaning. Every challenge becomes fuel for training as preparation for your next chapter.  Mastering Your Mind Is Like Climbing A Mountain Overcoming each problem or reaching your goal is like climbing a mountain; each step forward takes you higher. Persevering gets you to the summit. Enjoying the view along the way as well as savoring the joy of your efforts once you’ve reached the top are your treasures, should you embrace that mindset. Your entire journey becomes your unique book of golden memories. These memories are the twists and turns of your particular path, the backbone of your life legacy. The real struggle is transforming your weakness. It's winning the battle in your mind against the lower worlds of negativity, like fear and doubt. But mastering your mind is much like climbing the mountain. The building blocks of your unshakable foundation are every step forward and every moment that you are fully present to savor the beauty of your dramatic story. It is a tailored journey for you to develop trust in your capability. Muster your determination to win over yourself. Challenge yourself to find the way, the answer, the right action. Keep reaching for the skies of your dreams. Appreciate everything along the way as part of your beautiful life story. Your Light Brightens The Way For Others Protagonists don’t get to sit on the sidelines. Heroes dive into the thick of the action, feel the fear and courageously try their best. You are your life’s star player. Don’t forget that you light the way for others too. Your success shines a light on the pathway for others to see through to their victory, too. This is why you must never give up on yourself or your dreams. Your painful experiences become your way to encourage others through their difficulties. Your Self-Care Is Not A Luxury Your success story inspires countless others. That is why you must take good care of your heart, mind, and body. Treasuring your potential to find your way forward becomes the hope for others to do the same. Taking care of yourself as a precious treasure of great potential is critical for your happiness. Forging your inner state of life is the starting point to your perpetual growth and your ability to enjoy each moment. Sometimes you need rest to refuel your creative energy. Sometimes you need to replenish your inner condition through self-care, study, or fusing with the compassionate power of the universe through prayer, meditation, or nature immersion. When you lose hope in your potential, you have a setback. But as long as you don’t let yourself remain stuck, you can open a new way forward. Always Keep Your Eye On The Prize; Your WHY If you lose sight of your ultimate mission, unexpected difficulties can be painful and stop your progress. But once you align with your purpose—to remain undefeated and become a beacon for others through your actions—you develop the fortitude to navigate your way through to your envisioned goal. How I’ve Climbed My Mountains With These Steps Let me share examples from my life to illustrate how I’ve used these ideas in action. Family Harmony More than 40 years of family discord motivated my prayer to reflect on and polish myself, change my contributions to negative patterns, understand differing perspectives, improve my ability to listen. It also taught me to set healthy boundaries, stop enabling, and express my truth when appropriate. Getting An Education In my early 20s, my desire to get into college to study music and earn a degree encouraged me to practice daily with the focus to improve specific skills and apply for multiple ways for financial support. Once I got accepted into college, I made constant efforts to learn, improve and complete tasks. Landing A Job & Moving To A New Home When I wanted to get my first public school teaching job, I had to address many unknowns to increase my chances of getting hired. I had to find a way to attend an out-of-state job fair with no funds or place to stay. I applied online, spread the word to friends, prayed for the wisdom to take the right action. I determined to pack, leave my current job on good terms, interview successfully, move out of state, find a place to live, and overcome a significant health issue. I successfully completed each goal. Continued Professional Progress Once I got the job, I faced new challenges like adjusting to a new structure, schedule, developing classroom management skills, meeting performance standards, and building coworker rapport. Dealing With Loss My experiences with losing loved ones fueled my determination to serve others, rise up to be a comforting presence, and give help where needed. I also resolved not to be crushed by my deep grief. I continually revisit my goal of transforming my suffering into a mission to help others through it. Relationship Growth In the romantic relationship department, I appreciate that my past relationships have helped me recognize and eliminate negative situations or patterns from my life, see my weaknesses and forge self-volition versus depending on someone for my happiness. Having A Foundational Philosophy As A Guide Through all these different aspects of my life, I used my daily Buddhist prayer and practice as my foundation. Practicing this daily philosophy expands my life state, overcomes pain or external obstacles, and taps my wisdom, creative energy, and compassion for transforming each challenge and setback. I face each day with the determination to be my best self and to be a positive force in my environment. Staying focused on looking for ways to create value or positively contribute amid difficult circumstances enables me to stay in the game without fail. How To View Failure Using The Big Picture I may fail at certain things. But because I push myself to look forward, keep going, and create value, I’m already winning. Giving up or giving in to internal defeat would be failure. The specifics of setbacks, challenges, or goals change or differ from person to person. These may even alter from one chapter of life to the next. But the way to use obstacles for ultimate victory is the same; How To Use Obstacles For Your Ultimate Victory You must polish your life and keep moving forward. When you practice believing in your ultimate potential and that of others, you will find it. As you continue this process, you will expand your capacity to experience and contribute joyful victory after victory. This process of your unique personal development is the valuable purpose you have in the world around you. The more you achieve, the greater your influence on others to do the same.  by Jenny Leigh Hodgins As I'm a live-in caregiver for my elder Mom, I feel her moods more sensitively than I did when living in a different state. In the last few weeks we've been grieving the loss of my sweet Aunt Nonnie, Mom's sister. They were really close. It's hard for my Mom. It’s heartbreaking for me to watch Mom’s grieving process. Especially in a pandemic where hugs are not a safe social distance. Eighty-one years of a beautiful, harmonious, loving sistership is not easy to let go of. Processing Loss We talk about what we can appreciate and our favorite memories of my dear aunt. I listen to Mom tell stories of her childhood and the many years of joint ventures, including our family upbringing that she shared with her sister. We focus on our treasured moments with my aunt. We dwell on how much having my aunt in our lives positively impacted us. We also are allowing space and gentleness as the grieving process is fresh and requires this kind of care. I offer many hugs and tissues to Mom, too. We Ride The Same Wave Of Obstacles Our situation reminds me that when I'm struggling, there are others facing difficulties, too. It's as if we're riding the same wave of obstacles, separated only by personal specifity. If you’re experiencing grief or another kind of adversity, my heart supports you in prayer and thought. Trust that prayers are coming your way from many directions when you need them the most. Self-Care Tools Taking care of yourself during times of challenge can help lighten the load of suffering.

With all the tragedies going on today in our troubled society, I think that one of the most important things we can do to make the world a better place is to become happy. Alongside developing our potential and reaching our uniquely personal dreams, encouraging others along the way to do the same can only make things better. I think that world peace begins not only at home but essentially from a much more focused space—within each of our hearts. EXAMINING MY RESPONSE For me, based on my Buddhist practice and using its humanistic philosophy as a guide, part of my journey to experience absolute happiness is doing the work to overcome my prejudices and judgments. My starting point is examining my response to the tragedies, corruption, and polar opposite ideologies in the world around me. DOING THE WORK IS KEY Now that I especially and clearly understand that there are many perspectives opposing mine, doing the work to respect others is both transformative and key to improve my happiness and become part of the path to a more peaceful society. UNITY VERSES DIVISION I want to be a force for unity, not division. I want to base my actions on respect for life—not on judgments about behaviors or actions. Rather than promoting disrespect and divisiveness, I want to learn to fully and deeply listen—with the spirit of respect and toward unity. I'm not saying this is easy. For me, at least, this inner work is both grueling and requires my greatest efforts to resist responding to external challenges with my negativity. START WITH BEING A PART OF THE SOLUTION But I want to be part of the solution. That means I have to self-reflect and master my mind toward the goal of happiness for myself and others. I’m learning that I can only be part of the solution, contribute to unity, and lead with mutual respect if I have done my work on myself. This translates into more self-care. Not selfishness. SELF-CARE FUELS POSITIVITY IN THE WORLD Doing what it takes for me to be at my best allows me to view the challenges of today’s troubled community with greater compassion, energy, and wisdom. We can listen, act, and contribute in a more positive way when we first tackle our individual needs. A MICRO-PERSONAL TO MACRO-COMMUNITY APPROACH There is much work to be done through social services, economic recovery, and improvements through policies on a larger scale. Those conversations and movements are necessary and must be viewed from long-range and incremental efforts. We each choose the causes that mean the most to us and where we feel we can make our impact. WHERE DOES REAL IMPACT START? But I hold firm the idea that the real impact comes from grassroots, life-to-life connections, and initially, within one heart at a time. How can we be part of a positive solution or contribute to a more harmonious society without first addressing our individual wellness? Consider what we bring to the table if we have fully cared for and maintained our inner condition. Imagine the impact across diverse viewpoints when we initiate honest, earnest work toward our personal character as a starting point. We can be part of the greater goal for peaceful existence when we first start from within our hearts. This kind of self-care approach emboldens our spiritual and mental strength, positions us toward a greater openness to authentic listening, and being a positive influence on others.

I recently felt frustrated by my efforts to practice social distancing and isolation to keep others safe when I looked around to see that many aren’t taking these same precautions. Our community and country are divided on the issue of wearing face masks as a way to protect others from the risk of getting Covid-19. There has been a striking difference between those who continue social distancing versus those opting for family holiday gatherings. There are dramatically differing political views and varied approaches to protecting others that stem from completely opposing perspectives. I noticed how this prompted my aggravation and how this could easily lead to becoming angry and stressed. A friend pointed out that anger toward those who don’t take the pandemic seriously is a righteous kind of anger because it’s about justice and equal care for all. I agree. But I also sometimes feel my anger toward those with opposing opinions about the pandemic risk treads a fine line toward my becoming disparaging and judgmental. This kind of negative thinking can harm your well-being because it causes stress. Stress causes mental and physical anguish. As I continue praying about this during my daily Buddhist chanting routine, I’m awakened to the importance of forging respect for the life of every living being regardless of opposing ideologies. I work to steer my thoughts away from a ‘them versus us’ mentality. As I let go of anything I have no control over, I release negative energy from my heart. I focus instead on what I can do; continue social distancing to protect my elder mother, myself, and others. I focus on how I can positively contribute to the situation. This change of heart helps me cope with my stress. And it leads me to keep looking for a silver lining in pandemic life. When I refocus my energy toward the positive within any situation, I become more capable of enduring difficulties with a more cheerful spirit. Doing this inner work is meaningful for me because when I feel better, I treat others better. When I can treat others better, we all feel better. Motivating Gratitude This long year of social distance and isolation has motivated my practice of gratitude. During this incredibly challenging year, I have learned to develop my sense of appreciation no matter what. I find that actively seeking things, people, and circumstances to appreciate is good for my mood and significantly impacts my day. If we had gone through this pandemic crisis 20 years ago, the impact of our isolation would have been so much worse. I’m thankful this pandemic didn’t happen until 2020 because now we have the fortune of technology as a way to connect. Fuel For Deeper Spiritual Practice Another thing about this quarantine life that I am grateful for is that the stress of this situation has fueled my Buddhist practice of daily chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. I’ve begun using my spiritual practice to go inward for deeper work, reflection, and rejuvenation. Whether you use prayer, meditation, yoga, exercise, reading, or a combination of these, carving out spiritual time for yourself has a positive impact. Self-care effort is an antidote to the frenzied habit of being constantly busy. It also counters the negative aspects of our excessive social media activities. Center Yourself On Positivity Speaking of gratitude, another thing that helps me navigate the challenges of pandemic life is to list three things I appreciate each morning and again each evening. This practice helps me center myself on positivity, regardless of what’s happening around me or in the world. It also raises my life state no matter what my obstacles may be. Use Restrictions As Creative Fuel I’m learning to put a favorable twist on social restrictions, too. Limitations push me to look for a new way to do things outside my typical habits or routine. These challenges provide an opportunity to spark innovative thinking, which research proves is good for mind, body, and spirit. We can’t visit our elders or family members because we don’t want to risk getting or spreading the Covid-19 virus. This constraint has prompted us to find other ways to connect, like visiting elder relatives through the window while using a phone call to speak. When I took Mom to visit my nearly 90-year-old aunt, we stood outside her window singing Merry Christmas via a phone call to my cousin, who was inside with my aunt. The quarantine has also prompted us to use FaceTime and Zoom for family holiday activities, write holiday cards and letters, and send old-fashioned thank you cards. The calm of writing holiday cards and thank-you letters and the joy we send through these messages bring us a boost in our mood, too. Transform Old Traditions With A New Approach These social barriers have provided us with new ways to revisit nostalgic traditions like driving separately to see holiday light decorations while social distancing to protect those at risk. Or parking in front of holiday light displays while chatting with loved ones by phone or FaceTime to share the moment. Since our family opted for a family Zoom instead of a face-to-face gathering on Christmas, I created videos and photos of my elder Mom’s gift-receiving process. I posted these photos and videos on Google drive for the rest of my family to enjoy. You could do the same or upload the videos and photos onto another cloud service like Amazon, YouTube, or Vimeo! This frees us to focus on heart-to-heart connections during our family Zoom without the distraction of opening holiday gifts. Online videos and photos can become treasured collections, along with recording legacy stories by your elders for future preservation. Create a digital movie that may be shared online with a simple link (and stored on an external hard drive for use during a future event once the pandemic is behind us). More Nature Connection Pandemic 2020 has motivated my nature connection. Nature immersion has become an even more meaningful treasure as well as spiritual and physical replenishment. Plus, it’s free! My nature walks always inspire my creativity. I often take nature photos and create my products from these, along with positive affirmation statements. I've also written a photo essay series featuring my nature photos here. My nature visits have inspired me to create nature calendars. You can find these and many more of my nature-inspired products here. Nature inspires me to write poetry, blogs, and even dabble in a bit of painting and seasonal projects like leaf art! Boredom Propels Movement! The lack of structure from quarantine life has brought boredom, but this has sparked a greater interest in getting more exercise. Exercise outdoors in secluded parks and neighborhoods and even online for changing it up on rainy, snowy, cold days has broken up the boredom of seeing the same walls through work and personal life. The benefits of exercise decrease stress and regulate hormonal balance. Exercise lowers stress hormone production and boosts physical, mental, and creative energy. So, thank you, Pandemic 2020, for the motivation to get up and move! Games For Staying Sharp & Quality Downtime Another perk of pandemic life has been finding new things to keep us both social and cognitively sharp. Game playing has become a way for more quality-based social connection for my elder Mom and myself during this shutdown. As an online business owner, games have also forced me to take much-needed technology and social media breaks and get some quality downtime. Learning new games pushes us to develop our cognitive skills and grow new neurological pathways. Isn't this way better than becoming a useless couch potato? I hope these ideas have given you something to appreciate in this challenging year. Leave a comment letting me know.

I had a great discussion (via the Zoom conferencing app) with friends recently that encouraged me. They reminded me that if I want to change my environment, I must first change my heart. This year has challenged the best of us; pandemic restrictions and their toll on wellness, our nation’s clear divisiveness, and the economic and physical suffering for our entire planet have brought the reality of our shared troubles in this world front and center. My discussion with friends illuminated my need for pausing to uncover what this situation is teaching me and how it can serve me to change something in my life, my perspective, and my actions. Taking responsibility is a strong catalyst for making things go more smoothly and improving or finding meaning in a problem. We shared how our daily rhythm with self-care and personal growth efforts help us see solutions more readily when facing turmoil. Our world mirrors us. It’s sending a clear signal we need more effort toward growing ourselves, overcoming our negative impulses, and taking care of our mind, body, and spirit. Taking care of ourselves allows us to be better for those we care about and build peaceful, prosperous communities. A GOOD ENDING LEADS TO A GOOD START How we end things this year will lead to what kind of start we’ll have in the new year. We cannot avoid the sufferings of our world. Burying our hearts and trying to ignore or deny the fierceness of our collective challenges creates nothing. But we can make the causes for future victory and look forward to the new season of spring by facing ourselves and our challenges with courage and compassion. Doing this with perseverance brings hope into our hearts. BEGIN WITH A SMALL SHIFT It can happen with a seemingly small, insignificant shift in our hearts. Facing relationship issues or communication problems? Redirecting my heart toward finding an outcome best for everyone—can help move the dialogue in a more positive direction. When we strive to put aside our ego and our feelings for the greater good, a miracle happens: we create a bridge! LOOK FOR A NEW WAY In this weird holiday season when many of us are unable to hug our loved ones, especially heart-wrenching for our elders, those grieving a loss, and those struck with Covid-19, we’re given a beautiful opportunity to find the value and potential in this situation. Creative solutions arise from limitations and even problems. Humans are innately creative. This skill or process is not reserved exclusively for artists. We each have the power within us to look outside the box to find a new way or a new perspective for this unique moment in history. This practice of gratitude lifts the heavy heart and brings its own reward. When we can’t see eye to eye with someone, for example, we have the chance to look for the best in that person as valuable and good, instead of equating the worth of that person with their behavior in the moment or argument. Difficulties—again—are mirroring exactly that we need to change something in our lives for the better. And to use them as a springboard with that intent. REMEMBER THE KEY TO VICTORY The point is that you and I can transform anything. Don’t get discouraged by this year’s depth of problems for us and the rest of the world. Instead, remember that how we face each moment right now becomes the cause for the seeds of our bright future. Remember that the key to any struggle is perseverance. Let’s look to the new year of 2021 by first taking care of our spiritual wellness. Then, let’s set new goals and move forward toward our new victory. Transforming our hearts first will lead us to improve ourselves, the situation, and encourage those around us to find hope. Our ability to win over our struggles becomes our mission for empowering others to do the same. During this pandemic holiday season, I will be taking care of myself including mind, body, and soul. I'll be planning for the 2021 new year. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you.

As a creator, I decided the best way I could serve you through the challenging coronavirus 19 pandemic would be sharing my creativity to encourage you.
Nurturing creativity and inspiration through the power of art and nature is my passion. These spiritually rejuvenating sources are scientifically proven to empower and fuel our inner strength and wisdom.
I share my creativity with the sincere intent that it brings you a bit of comfort and sparks courageous hope.
Below is the text for the poetry I shared with you through my earlier podcast, Creativity Brings Comfort, Courage, and Hope. They are in the order of appearance during that podcast episode.
LISTEN TO THAT PODCAST HERE.
Struggle
Stop the banging, the racket, the jitters, the drums
that shake you, break you, run you in circles from
that lopsided spinning wheel barreling your mind
Leave that torturous neurotic noise behind
Use an image, like stuffing all your crazy
into an over-sized balloon that flies away
Or dump all that ugly, murky blackness in your head
into a dark, wide sea and sail your boat instead
The point is, your hell is created from inside,
so make it a world that is beautiful to find…
Whatever trips you up, wind it up another way;
Your darkness is treasure—in the light of day
Dull, dim clouds of grey blocking your sky?
You are a rainy season--who’s to question why
So let it pour, let it roar, let it thunder—storm--
Who’s to say, anyway, that is not your norm
Bad weather, like relentless weeds, has a place
Serves a purpose and a need to fill a space
Lesson learned, universal shift, and…
Suddenly those clouds will lift
Leaving something growing there,
Something brand new to appear,
Everything refreshed by the light coming through
this rising transformation that originates from you.
Finding Hope
There is benefit, value, and hope in every trouble
so long as you are not defeated in the struggle.
A treasure greater than anything
lies nowhere outside but within.
Born of courage that you muster
in the face of challenge, loss, disaster--
a kind of strength forged deeply--
the basis for a joy that lives eternally.
For it is only in bravery that we will see
the path to take to become truly free
to reach the lofty noble state of life
in which our hearts are fully open wide.
And it is only through adversity that we can ever really be free.
Independent of any pain, we clearly stand to gain.
For, by dealing head-on with hardships,
we find the points we’ve missed;
Those inner places of our lives where darkness tends to thrive.
It is by facing ourselves this way that we begin to create change;
An inner transformation through self-realization
A process of evolution. A rather simple solution,
Yet the result is total freedom--
a completely positive outcome
a deeply lasting value
dependent solely on you.
Everything rests on your mindset
Your attitude determines what you get.
So if you regard everything you face
as a good influence to embrace,
you’re guaranteed to find your way
to a path that leads to a bright and happy day
Lions In My Dreams
Last night I dreamed of lions
There were lions everywhere
They were in the green meadow.
They were along the mountainside,
They were roaming the forests.
They were sleeping in silence.
They were rising with the sun as they raced about my bed.
They were on the beach.
They were on the highway.
They were leaping. They were roaring.
There were lions, lions, lions--for as far as I could see...
When I woke today, I noticed there were
courage, power, and audacity written all over me.
What’s in the Garden
Roses fading with every bloom
Pansies profusely shining like happy elves
Pampas grass flowing like a woman with a new hairstyle
Milkweed attracting too many aphids
Rosemary quadrupling in size
Tiny flower seeds popping up as greenery
Lavender sprouting like human limbs
Small trees losing their leaves for the winter
Sunlight
Sunlight floats like a balloon filling with helium
Glowing gradually like a musical crescendo
Rising above the horizon…
Then dropping like a silent ball in the ocean
Fire
Fire awakens with golden fury
Roaring like a vicious lion
Cackling, spitting and scratching the air
And whimpers like a child at the splash of a water bucket
Rain
Rain drizzles sporadically
Arriving like secret elves dancing on tippy-toes,
Then leaping and stomping on
rooftops, gardens, and streets everywhere.
And suddenly dribbles to a silent stop.
Music
Spiritual link
Continuously playing
In the orchestra of my mind
Always moving my life
Belief
Developing
Struggle--Revolutionize
In the privacy of my heart
Determination
Now
Mentor
Spiritual guide
Lighting my way with wisdom
In the treasure house of my life
Let me rise up for you
Hold On
Hold on to who you are
Hold on to hope
--even if there seems to be only darkness blocking your path
Hold on to the light burning in your heart
--even if no one sees it but you
Hold on to everything you dream of
--even if you've already dreamed it for years
Hold on to belief in yourself
--even if you can't see your potential clearly
Hold on to breaking through your struggle
--even when you want to sit down and quit.

This is part of my series of creative posts as encouragement through pandemic 2020. We have many obstacles to challenge, but one thing’s for sure; our wellness of mind, body, and spirit will impact our successful response.
Enjoy my video above (click the PLAY button and have your speakers or headphones on!) to experience the healing power of nature immersion and mellow music.
This video includes nature photos taken in my hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. The spring blooms and rich landscape of Kentucky are stunningly beautiful.
My original music in the above nature video is called, ‘On The Wings Of Faith.' I composed this piece last year for my late friend, Tina. She died of heart failure before her 50th birthday.
A HEART THAT NEVER FAILS
Ironically, her heart never failed in life. She was a relentless, ever-present friend who ceaselessly encouraged me to see my better self. She had a way of making me feel that I was the most important person in the room and her best friend.
But Tina had countless friends in her life who felt about her the same way I did.
Tina’s undying belief in my ability to rise up despite any obstacle or my own perceived inadequacies is what deeply inspired me to compose this short piece for her memorial. Her constant encouragement and never-give-up cheer remain deeply wedged within my heart and soul.
You may have noticed that friendship is a huge theme in my creative process. Friends like Tina (and Linda, Kay, Jean, Kristy, Kathy, Terry, and Barbara, etc) have boosted my spirits in the darkest moments of my life. For this reason, I feel creativity emerge unstoppable from within me.
EMBRACE EVERY SEASON AS A WAY TO GROW
This is like the season of spring now. Despite the craziness of dealing with a global pandemic, the season’s explosion of color, blooms, and gorgeous textures has burst forth.
This is the way life goes up and down, testing us to become better and stronger in our clarity and vision of purpose than before.
This is how I view my creative world, too. Every season, problem, illness, or loss has meaning only if I embrace the opportunity to grow in some way. Creative expression is how I use transition as fuel for my inner strength and as a way to give hope to others.
May this video of nature’s beauty and my musical tribute to the significance of friendship embolden you toward greater heights.
Please continue to stay at home as much as possible and socially distance to protect yourself and others. While you’re at home more than usual, please enjoy the music, poetry, and nature videos (like this one above) I’ve created as meditative therapy.
If you can't get outdoors, or you just want to relax or de-stress for a moment, this nature music video will help elevate your mood and keep you calm.

What Self-Care Has To Do With Creativity
Set Your Positive Intent & Inspire Yourself
This is part of my series of creative posts to encourage you during this pandemic and through the inherent challenges we all face as a result. I hope you are doing your best to stay at home as much as possible to socially distance yourself and protect others. Since you are at home more than usual, I've created music, poetry, and nature videos (starting with this one above) as meditative therapy for you.
If you can get outdoors--while keeping safely distanced from others--the fresh air and healing power of nature immersion will improve your mood. Everyday, get some movement for your body as best you can to boost your wellness.
If you can't get outdoors, or you just want to relax or de-stress for a moment, this nature music video will help elevate your mood and keep you calm.
Watch my video above (click the PLAY button and have your speakers or headphones on!) and experience the healing power of nature immersion and soothing piano music.
The video includes nature photos taken in my hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. I've been strategically taking my 80-year young mother to local parks, careful to avoid crowds of people during off-hours. Walks through these parks and my bike rides inspired me to snap photos to celebrate the rise of spring.
As hard as it is now with everyone focused on lowering exposure to the coronavirus, nature still moves ever forward with its jubilant burst of blooms and color. Life goes on, the ebb and flow of good times, prosperity, and wellness reminding us that the cycle will continue.
Let's use nature's gorgeous vibrance as encouragement to weather this new challenge with the hope of new growth and deeper meaning in our lives.
My original piano music in the above nature video is called, 'Simply You.' I composed this piece for my late friend, Linda. Her down-to-earth manner and ceaseless optimism moved me to compose this music as a tangible representation of her positive influence on me and others.
Her friendship was one of simplicity and authentic expression. She was able to always look squarely at reality and find something positive out of even the worst scenario. I feel this is a fitting piece for our shared struggle through pandemic 2020.
Dark times reveal who we really are. May we be 'simply ourselves' as we use the current difficulties to polish our better selves. Let's use this time to forge stronger courage and compassion.
Let's emerge from this tumultuous season like spring blossoms, with our greatest energy to transform this poisonous situation into medicinal value. Our successful response depends on our individual wellness and inner strength. May my music and nature video be a catalyst for yours.

For a moment of meditative calm, please enjoy my original piano music with this short nature video I made from photos taken on my bike rides or neighborhood walks. (Click LISTEN IN BROWSER and the above orange PLAY button to enjoy my original piano music with this nature video I made from photos taken on my bike rides or walks. Or listen only in SoundCloud.)
Out of my sincere desire to bring encouragement to you during this pandemic, I’m sharing original music, poetry, and videos from my nature photos. Once you’ve had a chance to listen and watch, I hope you’ll be motivated and inspired to move yourself a bit in the great outdoors when possible and while continuing to safely socially distance yourself.
The fresh air and nature immersion will lift your spirits. It’s my hope my post today will also bring you comfort and help you keep calm amid this new storm.
Music can speak our hearts and communicate from soul to soul in a profound way. I hope while listening to this short piano composition, you feel my heart, too.
The audio track in this post (above) is one of my original piano compositions. It's the music I use for YourCreativeChord Podcast’s introduction and exit for each episode, too. There is a reason I chose this particular music as the backdrop to my podcast. More on that below.
What This Music Has To Do With
You & Your Wellness
I composed this piano piece out of appreciation to my dear friend, Kay. Kay has been a friend in the deepest sense. In the 30 years of our friendship, she always expressed enthusiastic belief in my artistic talents, and in my ability to succeed in my creative mission.
Mystically, when I struggled the most with my doubt or fears, my friend's words of encouragement would pierce my heart to motivate my greater self to rise to each challenge.
That’s the spirit behind this music, too. It’s called ‘Finding Spring’ because once my friend encouraged me, I was able to look for hope within myself and in my life. By looking for hope, I find it every time.
That’s what friendship does. That's what my music is about.
Shared Experience, Community, and
Heart To Heart Friendship
My piano piece embodies my personal and professional intent to use my creative expression to encourage others. I chose this particular piano music for my podcast because the personal story behind my music represents the spirit of shared experience, community, and heart to heart friendship. These are powerful fuel for nurturing creativity and inspiration.
It’s significant that while in the middle of a pandemic—a dark time for all of us--the signs of spring within nature are appearing from trees, blooms, colors, and fragrant blossoms.
As you listen to my music and watch the short nature video from photos I snapped during short jaunts outdoors in my neighborhood, may you begin to also feel spring emerging from within your heart.
Transform Sufferings Into Powerful Meaning
Yes, the situation is daunting. But as human beings, you and I have the unlimited potential to transform our sufferings into powerful meaning. This current global, yet uniquely individual suffering can be the source from which to springboard ourselves and our society into exponential growth.
How? By looking for the hope within our lives and finding spring.
May you be well and live with inner strength. We are together in this shared experience. Let’s win a new historical victory with the power of humanity and hope by keeping our spirits strong.

What Self-Care Has To Do With Creativity
Set Your Positive Intent & Inspire Yourself
by Jenny Leigh Hodgins
I listened to Mel Robbins’ Work It Out on Audible. I’d never heard of her books until a woman entrepreneur I interviewed mentioned her as a mentor. So I checked out her content. I’m hooked.
What I Loved About The Book
I loved the author’s style. I wonder if I’d like it as well if I’d read the book versus listening to it. But I rarely sit still long enough to read a book. I’m always digitally researching and as an online solopreneur, my task list is never-ending.
So, I listen to books on Audible while doing errands, exercising, and before bed. I loved Mel Robbins’ style because she matches my pace where I am. Her book contains no fluff. She gets straight into giving valuable content and then she spells it out for you at the end of each chapter in case you missed the key points.
There’s No Fluff—Robbins Gets To The Point Without Wasting Your Time
I loved her quick pacing, her blatant way of calling us women out on habits that don’t serve us or anyone else (like dimming our own brilliance), and her humor which lands perfectly in sync with how most women feel post 50. The main thing I loved about this author’s tone is that she didn’t waste my time.
I am a fast-paced and constant thinker. I hate when books are filled with useless padding just to fill a space. I hate when I have to fast forward through blogs, podcasts, webinars, videos, courses, and books to get to the meat of the main point. Mel Robbins’ book was value-packed and illuminating from start to finish.
Stories Have A Clear Thread Of Connection To YOU
I generally am bored when I see ‘case studies’ used as ‘examples’ to make the point. But Robbins used her actual coaching sessions with various real women to begin driving her value home. Smart, because these women are relatable to the women reading this material. They are our soul sisters. Twins in karmic tendencies, whether it be relationship or career issues blocking progress.
Direct Line Between Your Life And Your Career
Robbins makes a significant emphasis on the reality that our lives and our careers are interconnected. We bring our lives to work with us. She points out that any baggage or patterns in our personal lives absolutely are playing out within our careers. And she digs in deep to uncover those patterns within each woman featured in her coaching session.
She clearly and articulately draws the direct connection between the individual problems experienced by her clients and the women reading her book. It’s highly relevant and amazingly on point with, for example, my personal and career issues.
The Advice For Transformation Is Solid
This made the book fly by and I devoured it and Robbins’ tips for addressing and transforming negative patterns into strengths and liberation. That leads to why I was happy with this book; it is a positively transformative guide for women to thrive in relationships and career.
I found it so rewarding to have ‘a-ha’ moments throughout the chapters of this book, and to know there are actual strategies I can use and practice—based on Robbins’ wise advice—to change my life for the better.
There’s A Workbook For You To ‘Work It Out’
There’s also a comprehensive accompanying workbook to use as a guide for uncovering patterns that are holding women back. It offers concrete advice and tips to put in place--or replace old habits that are no longer serving.
I haven’t yet started the workbook, but I decided I will. I had revelation after revelation about how my relationships have molded my thinking and how some of these responses no longer work for my survival, coping skills, much less my success and happiness.
Connecting And Highlighting The Positive Mission Of Women
But the book is uncanny in its ability to find common threads for women everywhere. Work It Out is a light in a tunnel. I recommend we use Robbins’ beautiful and powerful book to make our way through to a new place of joyful fulfillment.
In honor of International Women’s Day, and for women everywhere, we deserve to thrive in expression of our greatest potential.
Thank you, Mel Robbins, for your contribution to this beautiful mission.

This month, YourCreativeChord Podcast will feature my conversation with guest, Dr. Tara Sanderson, a “Licensed Psychologist, Author, and Clinical Supervisor in Oregon.” The podcast will post in two episodes on March 17 and 31.
LISTEN to EPISODE 1 HERE.
Dr. Sanderson has been “helping people learn the skills to live their best lives” for more than 20 years. I read her new book, "Too Much, Not Enough A guide to decreasing anxiety and finding balance through intentional choices," and reviewed it earlier here.
I invited Dr. Sanderson to be a guest on my podcast because her experience as a counselor and someone who wrestles with perfectionism and anxiety, is perfectly in sync with nurturing creativity and inspiration.
The Dance Between Anxiety And Creative Flow
Getting or staying inspired sometimes comes with its own brand of anxieties for many creative people. I wanted to tap Dr. Sanderson's expertise on addressing this kind of negative self-talk.
We dove into the strategies she put forth in her book about decreasing anxiety. She shared a mindfulness tool she learned in a workshop, called SOBER:
S = Stop
O = Observe
B = Breathe
E = Examine the options
R = Respond
In our chat, Dr. Sanderson walked me through how to use each step of the SOBER tool. Our conversation is relevant for those who struggle with perfectionism, overachieving, anxiety, depression, and “the inner critic.”
E Is For Examine Options Versus Extreme Emotion
The step 'E' in SOBER particularly struck me as useful for those prone to anxiety or perfectionism. Examining the options within a particular scenario is a solid strategy for getting out of extreme, black-and-white thinking that is common for someone in an anxious state.
Dr. Sanderson demonstrated the use of initiating a dialogue with the 'inner critic.’ This inner voice, or self-talk, typically presents an extremely negative option.
Dr. Sanderson’s technique suggests brainstorming five different options versus the one negative option, opening the opportunity for making choices that feel better. Addressing this internal voice directly with alternate options instead of the one extreme reaction commonly offered by the ‘inner critic’ opens the mental space for calm, reason, and a better outcome.
3 Keys For Inspiring Bumperstickers
Dr. Sanderson's technique for handling a stressful choice is to follow the SOBER steps until you're able to respond in a way that's 'on purpose,' 'non-judgmental,' and 'fully present.' I joked that each of these slogans would make great posters or bumperstickers!
Seriously, can you imagine being stuck in constant traffic. You pull up behind a car, fuming frustration at the waste of time to get from point A to point B. Suddenly you see the bumpersticker in front of you, “Fully Present.”
And…you…BREATHE.
Wow, what a difference that could make on blood pressure, mood, and productive energy! But, I digress…
It struck me that Dr. Sanderson’s approach with these three key points in mind when addressing a challenge is in dramatic yet calming contrast to the knee-jerk extreme emotional reactions we tend to roll with when anxious about something.
Our discussion of the mindfulness tools Dr. Sanderson uses both with herself and within her work as a counselor offers tremendous value for those eager to become less stressed.
Walk-Through For Self-Publishing Your Book
I also asked Dr. Sanderson to walk through her process for writing her new book on decreasing anxiety. She shared from idea conception, writing practice, to promotion, publishing and launching her book.
As I'm writing several nonfiction books under the 'nurturing creativity and inspiration' umbrella, to self-publish those soon on Amazon (and build courses based on them), it was fun to hear how Dr. Sanderson worked through her first book publishing process.
She also shared her process for creating an audio version of her book (which is available on Audible), and a second book to be co-written with her husband is in progress.
In this digital age, the options to publish a book are vastly different from the era of traditional publishing. Dr. Sanderson and I talked about the different ways writers could potentially get their story out or offer value through a book.
Whether you're an author, aspiring writer, or a reader who appreciates good books, this part of our chat illuminates the self-publishing and creative process for writing a book.
LISTEN to EPISODE 1 HERE.
Tune in Tuesday, March 31 for Part 2 of 2 episodes of YourCreativeChord Podcast to hear my in-depth conversation with Dr. Tara Sanderson.
Please let me know in the comments which parts of this blog resonates most with you. Share your thoughts or ask a question! I'd love to hear from you about these intriguing topics, or any tips you'd like to share!

by Jenny Leigh Hodgins I recently listened to the audiobook, The Obstacle Is The Way by Ryan Holiday. It was perfect timing for me to recognize that a new challenge, problem or obstacle is not just something to "overcome." I learned through this wonderful book that it is precisely because of difficulties that I'm able to tap capability, ingenuity, determination, resilience and wisdom that would otherwise lie dormant. The obstacles we each face become the way to greater creative flow, stronger conviction, and more committed action! I will listen to this audiobook over and over again. Having the book version is a great way to overuse my highlighters, too. It's that good. |
