Bridging the Gap between Intention and Effort

Igniting the Spirit at Work is a joy to read. Mason incorporates stories, proverbs, stimulating quotes, and her own experiences into the mix she creates for each day of the year, and ends each day with an affirmation designed to ignite the spirit. She does so in ways that stimulate creative exploration and dialogue. Here are some fun ways to bring this book into your life: read about the birthdays of people who matter to you and think about their relationship with you in the context of that day's message; think about the last day you would have characterized as a real "opportunity for growth" and see what awaits you on that day's page; search your calendar for upcoming challenging events, meetings with difficult people,or high pressure deadlines, and then read that day's message as the catalyst that sparks your imagination, soothes your tired mind or gives your heart a moment of healing warmth.

Page Turner

A book of its times, Igniting the Spirit at Work recognizes that our best ideas very often come from a quotation or story or comment that intrigues us. Marilyn Mason's series of single-page reflections, one for each day, is like an companion who stimulates our minds and spirits.I like the easy format -- a thought per page -- since it suits my tendency at the moment to pause, however briefly, and to center my attention on something outside the headlines and the immediate demands of the day. I find myself perusing this book in different ways, sometimes by day, sometimes by randomly selecting a few pages and sometimes by stopping at the subjects at the top of each page that catch my eye.Good book.

Working on Purpose!

In the aftermath of September 11th, all of us were forced to think hard and think deeply-about what matters in our lives, about the way we work. When confronted by a tragedy this immense, matters of work can seem trivial. But the more I thought about this tragedy, the more issuse of work and purpose became not trivial, but core. IGNITING THE SPIRIT AT WORK awakens us each and every day to work on purpose. It is a positive way to reaffirm the belief that there is good work in all of us, daily!

Marilyn Mason has done it again!

Like all of her books,Igniting the Spirit at Work, is a work of emmense inspiration and wisdom. She has created daily reflections to remind us of who we REALLY are, why we are HERE and WHAT we are to do with our lives. I bought this book last night after hearing her book reading, now I know what I'll be giving for gifts this holiday season to my colleagues & clients!!!
