A Walk through Town and Forest...

7/30/2016

One day I took a walk in #OurValleyTown, Dundas, Ontario. Of all the places, it is my favourite.

My Unstructured NAPOWRIMO, Summer 2016
Because I don't do well with structure when it comes to my creativity...

When the poems are ready,
they emerge.
Like the oven timer,
They tell me they're ready.
But if I don't listen,
They're all burnt up
Gone.
Thoughts and words turn to snot that I sneeze away.

On the Marriage of Photography and Poetry...

Meanings in the pictures.
Meanings in the words.
Together they are better.
The meanings are endless;
The possibilities limitless.
Picture poems and poem pictures.
Worth more than a thousand words.

School of Ted...

...Ted Talks, that is.

When I feel in need of some guidance, and wouldn't it be great if I could afford professional help? - but I can't...
so I, like so many others look to Ted Talks for answers - and if you don't, well then you definitely should!

So far, I've learned that I am not just quirky or weird, but I'm 'Multipotentialiate'. And I am making myself 'Super Better' as I "Live My Legend", and I align my work with my moral compass, or WHY I do what I do...

Because I am passionate about the Arts, education, creativity and happiness - yes, happiness - if you aren't happy, then why bother? Why bother?!.

While we're on the topic...

Ted Talks:

Emilie Wapnick
Why some of us don't have one true calling
What do you want to be when you grow up? Well, if you're not sure you want to do just one thing for the rest of your life, you're not alone. In this illuminating talk, writer and artist Emilie Wapnick describes the kind of people she calls "multipotentialites" — who have a range of interests and jobs over one lifetime. Are you one?

Jane McGonigal
The game that can give you 10 extra years of life
When game designer Jane McGonigal found herself bedridden and suicidal following a severe concussion, she had a fascinating idea for how to get better. She dove into the scientific research and created the healing game, SuperBetter. In this moving talk, McGonigal explains how a game can boost resilience — and promises to add 7.5 minutes to your life.

Scott Dinsmore
How to find work you love
Scott Dinsmore quit a job that made him miserable, and spent the next four years wondering how to find work that was joyful and meaningful. He shares what he learned in this deceptively simple talk about finding out what matters to you — and then getting started doing it.

Simon Sinek
How great leaders inspire action
Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership — starting with a golden circle and the question "Why?" His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers ...

Curiosity. Creativity. Possibilities.... New ventures on my horizon:)...
