Greetings, Novice Hero! We are so happy you have heard, along with your brothers and sisters, your gifted generation, this seven continent call, this tap-on-the-shoulder-of-your-heart invitation, to realize your dreams through play, creativity, and joy – a call and invitation you had only forgotten that you were expecting. This is a turning point in time. And though you may not know it, you are ready! You have brought with you from the stars vast galactic reservoirs of strength, courage, and light. They are not only over-flowing in you, they’ve got your back! Our earth, she has been expecting you. She loves what you are and what you will be. Light your candle – your life, itself, is now to become an adventure!

At the beginning of every hero’s adventure, there may be doubts, even if your flame has grown to the size of a minor supernova. The next 4 missions are designed to help you have fun with your doubts, overcome your doubts, live with your doubts, and proclaim, "doubts shmoubts!"

The next 4 missions of your adventure will help you find new inner and outer strength as you prepare for future, greater, funtacular challenges. Endeavor to learn as much as you can from your environment, your experiences, and those you meet. However, its okay and important to take some time each day to do nothing – it’s then that magic occurs!

Congratulations, Novice Hero, you have now earned the right to join the ranks of Apprentice Heroes. The next four missions will help you cross this threshold, a threshold that every hero must somehow cross.

You will be tested, Apprentice Hero, as you find your way in the new world that will be opening up to you during the next 4 missions. You will meet new challenges and new people who might present challenges – think of them not as enemies or competitors but as teachers and collaborators; that is key! Also, trust that help will come to you when you least expect it and most need it! Remember, the lion got help from the mouse, not the other way around.

Apprentice hero, the next four missions are preparation – (think courage muscle and heart muscle exercises) for an upcoming mission, which will be your greatest so far.

Your greatest mission, Apprentice hero, is now imminent! First, one more mission of preparation to purify and strengthen your intention.

Was what you did for your greatest mission funtacular and amazing to the eighth power? Darn right it was, Apprentice Hero! Congratulations! Your reward is 10 starry dynamos!

On the archetypal hero’s journey, this moment is often called the “The Road Back.” In the next 3 missions you will reflect on your actions, learn the stages of the coming-into-being of things, and help heal or keep healthy a waterway that has, for thousands of years, brought home heroes after their adventures.

Apprentice hero, in this stage of your adventure, you will feel yourself being reborn as someone new and more amazing. Your inner Gandalf the Grey is alchemically transforming into Gandalf the White!

You are now a superhero. You are receiving a multi-dimensional, multi-wavelength, world-wide standing ovation with a cherry on top!
