My Genius?

July 22nd, 2010 — 10:35am

“Instead of saying let’s get bigger by staying average, consider staying small by being exceptional.” -Seth Godin

When asked what my ideal job would be, I immediately think doing online marketing for something I believe in – non profit or otherwise. Why? I want to contribute, make an impact, and most importantly do something I believe in. Those all sound like nice ideals, but that is the type of environment where I am my best.

As I sit here, listening to Seth Godin going on about how there are too many painters, but not enough artists, I realize we each have our own creative genius waiting to be unleashed. I am waiting for that opportunity, but maybe I need to stop waiting and make that opportunity happen. Hmmm…Bigger can mean corporate or huge growth, I prefer to be my petite and smart self.

Keep coming back for my stream of consciousness while listening to Seth Godin all day.

Where do I start?

May 2nd, 2010 — 10:41am
In adding this blog to my site, my first inclination was to title it. But, how do I title something that doesn’t exist yet? Most of us operate in a need-to-label / brand everything world, so I wonder how this affects the creative process. For now, I am going to paint without a picture in mind, write without a title, and maybe name this blog after it exists and has a personality.
