This is a lesson that Charlene Baumbich, an author and speaker in Illinois, has learned well. Several years ago she was convinced that she couldn' t write a book she' d contracted to do. The day before she planned to scuttle the deal, she went to a crafts fair. There Baumbich found a photograph of a chubby toddler opening a treasure chest -- out of which flew butterflies. "There was a voice that said,'Just open the lid. Write the first word.'" So she did. And that book, How to Eat Humble Pie and Not Get Indigestion, was a success. Her advice to other women curious about tuning in to their inner wisdom: Take the first step. Peer inside yourself. And don' t be surprised if you find butterflies.

相信自己的心灵大多数人觉察危险是凭直觉。精神智商却常常引导我们去采取，而不是背离某种可以使结局更好的行动。

这是伊利诺伊州的一位作家兼演说家查伦·鲍姆比切曾经有过的一个亲身体会，甚得教益。几年前，她签约写一本书却认为自己无法如约完成，就在她准备取消合同的前一天，她去了一个工艺品交易市场。在那儿，她看到了一张照片，照片上一个胖乎乎的小孩正打开一个珠宝盒，从盒子中飞出了蝴蝶。"有个声音说道'掀开盖子，写下第一个字'。"于是她照着去做了，接着，《如何"忍气吞声"而不会"消化不良"》一书问世并获得成功。对心灵智慧有好奇心的其他女子，她建议道：第一步，窥探心灵，如果看到了那蝴蝶，不要吃惊。
