The other day I had an absolute bolt of inspiration about how to begin the first of  a series of recordings I have been wanting to create for about two years.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about the subject of  &#8220;Time&#8221; lately, especially in terms of how we view it and use it and abuse it. Since watching the time and meeting deadlines and so forth seem to be fairly common concerns among  so many creative people,  I&#8217;ll be writing about time and our beliefs and [...]]]></description>

Of course, we all do!  Well, now we have a formal term and a scientific measurement scale for judging that kind of outcome: creality.  Best of all, the creality scale is not relegated to the negative end of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been working on a new habit. As a coach, of course I am familiar with theories about how to change habits, or how to stop doing one thing and start doing something else. Unfortunately, in defiance of all logic, my mind generally refuses to play &#8220;those games&#8221; so progress can be difficult at best.  Like many creative people, [...]]]></description>

Nevermind, the point is I made a commitment to publish a photo or two each day during this week-long photography challenge and I am keeping [...]]]></description>

Reality, of course, includes both glossy and matte, highs and lows, successes and failures, perfection and [...]]]></description>
