Today is Samhain (pronounced sow-en), AKA Halloween. A time when the veil is thin between this world and the world of the ancestors.
In honor of the day, I lit a candle and placed it in front of four of my Muses who are on the other side of the veil. My aunt, my mother, and two writing sisters.
If you have an ancestor whose creative genes were passed on to you or someone who encouraged you in your work whatever that may be, you might want to honor them by putting a picture or some token of them on your table or altar for the day. 
Light a candle in their honor, raise a glass of wine in toast to their gifts, and tell a story about them (and if you don't know one, make one up!)
As a grateful guest, who knows what marvelous insight they might whisper to you through the flicker of the flame?
Blessed Samhain. Happy Halloween.
