Back from the holidays and ready to move forward! Â And what am I fascinated with right now? Â People with vision. People with Vision see things differently. I have always been amazed by this painting because it is done in “pointillism”. Everything in the picture is made up of tiny dots. How do you envision the final product, with the shading and shadows and changes in color, working in tiny dots??? Or, how about this one. target=”_blank”>Snow Artist Simon Beck straps on his snow shoes and traps around in the snow creating murals on the sides of mountains. How does he know where to go or what the next step is? He’s seeing things in a much bigger way than the rest of us, clearly. But not everyone has Vision with a capital V.

A Plea for Tolerance
It is that time again – the time in which reasonable, wonderful business people suddenly get indignant that their holiday isn’t being celebrated properly. It doesn’t matter what holiday you celebrate (or if you don’t celebrate one), “everyone else” gets it wrong. It is awful!

It makes him crazy that people would rather wait and make it annoying for someone else than open the other door. He is always the first one to open the second door and use it. And then others follow suit. So why does that happen? Granted, my husband is brilliant. However in this case I think it is something different. I think it has more to do with people thinking about where they want to go and what they want to do and not paying attention to how they do it. Someone else is using this door so I’ll use it too. But, it is faster, more efficient for everyone […] Continue reading
