Walking around in the land of creating can feel quite like an adventure hunt in a mystical, magical world. Some days it is joyous & exciting, some days it is a little overwhelming and scary. Where to go next? How? Why? When? Navigating the unknown territory is definitely a journey of the soul.
It always feels like such a gift when I find books and websites that share treasure maps and stories from the Creative Frontier.
Here are my favourite treasure maps. Blessings on your creative and soulful trail-blazing. May you birth out your Dream~Miracles into this world.

Hi Leonie!
I just read your post on Sacred Pricing…I’m a new psychologist and have been having trouble with that myself. Your post helped me out immensely – I have been feeling conflicted about charging in exchange for helping people. After reading this, I feel better about charging for what I do – and charging enough to sustain me. Thanks for writing and sharing this!
Love,
Laura
This is great! You are amazing!! xo
great resources!! I did a post of 5 writing books that most people don’t know about and that can help you change the world – http://jenniferlouden.com/write-to-change-books/ – bookmarking yours!
Thank you for this email! I really hadn’t planned on following thro this year and publishing some of my illustrated stories – I was gonna put them on the back burner since I keep creating (I’m up to four books now) and I worried if I stop creating and get too tech at this point that I could loose the creative visions and plans. Now I am tempting to give Lulu a try! It looks so easy! And I may not have discovered it -if it wasn’t for your email! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing Leonie! I have to say you give amazing advice and I am very happy to have seen you grow your biz and as a woman+. I have one question that is: How do you create your design/visual identity for your blog/videos/buttons? Can you write a post or point me to one about the technical aspect. Do you draw then scan/digitalized?
Love & gratitude from Brazil,
Alex
Just got into Leonie site this month. It never lets me down. I was wondering where to start with blog/web stuff first and here it came. I will be 70 years young next year and I’m a scorpio. Are there more out there in this age area starting a biz???? Would love to hear from you leonie about scorpio’s.
LOVE to ALL of us newbie Indies.
I’m so looking forward to reading your ebook and the books/articles in your bibliogtaphy. So many authors don’t include sources when I would really like to read/research further. Thank you Goddess Leonie for all the gifts and wisdom you share.
Blessings, Renee
Thank you so much for your generosity. I look forward to reading and learning. Can’t wait to dive in! Light and love to you.

Thank you for sharing these resources Leonie… I am only just starting to ‘put myself out there’ after years of keeping my gifts hidden… I am finding it to be a somewhat emotional time for me as I go through the motions of vulnerability, fragility and just plain *s..t* scared! Have the clients started to come in yet? Well yes & no… however it hasn’t put me off… I know that as I go through this big shift in my perception of self everything else will shift too… am I looking forward to your future (and past) resources that is a huge YES!
I have tried to contact your suggested website designer, scootergirl, but her site seems to be closed. Do you have an updated site? Thanks!
