Martha Graham Quote....
Recently came across this quote and I love the message and as creative people it applies to all of us...
“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.”

Two Roads...
Talking with a potential client yesterday regarding new creative directions and I remarked on my favorite poem since I was a kid ... It was always something I could relate to, I think most creative people relate to the notion that we've chosen a different path ...
With credit to Mr. Robert Frost, here it is:
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Gremlins
I just finished re-reading a great book - Taming Your Gremlins. It had been a while since I'd read it. I was feeling, like everyone else, the tension of these economic times. The book is a quick read, and is quite helpful in training and reminding me that we all have Gremlins - persistent negative thought patterns.
The best strategy to tame your Gremlin is to notice it, recognize it, name it and put it aside - I like to banish mine to another room. The worst strategy is to engage our Gremlin - wrestle with it, "fix" it and give it attention.
When faced with your Gremlins write them down - list them. Then rip up the list and ceremoniously throw the list out! From now on say to yourself - "That's my Gremlin Speaking", put it aside and move forward.
