How Mind Key began

I began Mind Key the Novel as a writer exploring the illuminated spaces in my mind.  It began after a focusing session where I gave substance and vision to the persistent lump in my throat….

That’s when things began to change.  I always knew I had the ability to manifest my reality through my art, but this novel allowed me to do more than just create, it allowed me to see the world around me more clearly.  My guides and the faeries in my life began revealing themselves through the words on the page. They encouraged me to take chances, be daring and follow my dreams.

And so I did.

What I never expected was the overwhelming response this endeavor would cultivate.  People began rallying around the idea of the novel—a story where we learn how to see ourselves—truly and honestly see ourselves—and how to use that insight to heal and create the lives we wish for.

Not everyone can get a letter to Hogwarts, but everyone can learn Noelle Ricci’s magic.

And that’s what Mind Key is here for.  We are a unique blend of healers, businesses and artists whose primary goal is to live their passion, and to help you live yours.

I’m constantly amazed by the wholehearted participation of our members.  Despite their incessantly harried schedules, they continually offer their resources and talents to help others grow, and so find themselves growing exponentially. In doing so, they are helping others grow exponentially as well.

What amazes me the most is how willing each and every member is to provide insight, advice, and resources for each other. We have built a support group that Noelle would be proud of.

Mind Key the novel, along with five other novels, is now a finalist in a contest that will produce a traditional publishing contract for the winner. But even better than that, I will have the opportunity to talk about Mind Key with the three judges—a publicist, an agent, and a publisher. This opportunity is

it’s exactly what we at Mind Key have been doing for each other—sharing advice and feedback to help each other grow.

I would be incredibly remiss, however, to take credit for this on my own. Without the support of the Mind Key team—including Charla Dury, Tamara Rokicki, Rebecca Godina, Tara Lesko and Dana Bree, to name only a few—I would never have finished the novel, let alone brought it to a place where it is publish-worthy.  I have learned so much from other Mind Key Project members. I have thrived through their support, and I have been encouraged to continue when things became overwhelming or difficult.

I am eternally grateful to those who have put their energy into this project, as without them I would still be in a dark place, slogging through a never-to-be-finished novel.

Instead, I am today following my dream.
