"An empowered organization is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success."~Stephen Covey, Principle-centered Leadership
My Add:
When becoming a "collective" group; communication, effort persistence, and staying optimistic are keys. We, are no exception to this. (*@^@*)

"The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act."~Marcel Duchamp
My Add:
Without an "audience" of sorts, an artists work is unnoticed, unappreciated, and lives only in the artist. HAPPY HUMP DAY!!! (^^^)

Aug.4/11 Inspiration in the Morning... 294
Preparing for things is never "easy", and there's always lots to think about. It's important to write a list (or more than one if necessary); of what's needed to be brought, what errands may need to be ran prior to, and anything that may have been forgotten. On that note... I think I'm almost ready for Saturday... got lots done yesterday, but not everything. Let's hope it's all done in time... (^^^)

In honour of "International Beer Day": "We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us."~Charles Bukowski (1920 - 1994)
My Add:
Life is short, and meant to be enjoyed in many ways. Any sense of freedom is a "golden ticket", that can help reduce Life's stresses. Why worry so much... instead let's cause the tremble!!! Doing this at the party tomorrow!!! (*@^@*)

"The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play."~Arnold Toynbee (1889 - 1975)
My Add:
Many say that my "work" IS play... lol I guess I've succeeded then... & I try to share every time a project involves FWFF. May there be many more to come!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Aug.9/11 Inspiration in the Morning... 297
"Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck -- but, most of all, endurance."~James Baldwin (1924 - 1987)
My Add:
Endurance, motivation, & a faith that things will work out, is what gets us through many "trials & tribulations". Not only in Life, but also our creative endeavors. Motivation & faith are not enough. Without endurance we give up MANY hopes, dreams, and possible realities. (*@^@*)

Aug.10/11 Inspiration in the Morning... 298
"If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother and hope your guardian genius."~ Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)
My Add:
Perseverance is SUCH a useful tool, that we would be foolish to cast it aside so easily with procrastination. Continuing pic. editing... THANKZ for the FWFF!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Aug.11/11 Inspiration in the Morning 299
It truly is inspirational to hear all the feedback, when I was set up in the chapel... So a HUGE THANKZ for all the encouraging words, and to everyone that participated in our Halloween Calendar this year!!! & of course those that participated in the Alternative Models Shoot!!! HUGE GRINZZZ!!! (*@^@*)

"The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office." ~ Robert Frost (1874 - 1963)
My Add:
My brain kicks in before the alarm, then I can't sleep. At my "office"... sleep wants me back. Resistance kicks my brain into high gear by 10am. Now to get more done...

WILD WICKED WEEKEND WISHES!!! (^^^)
+++
Aug.15/11 Inspiration in the Morning... 301
Attended another WICKED B-Day party this Saturday, and I find myself glad to have the friends I do!!! After all, where would we be in this world without those we Love and those who love us back? Loved ones and ourselves (of course), are the keys to a happier survival!!! (*@^@*)

"Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time."~ Rabbinical Saying
My Add:
Girl or boy, they are in a new era... one we can only guess what may happen. Our children ARE our future of the WORLD!!! We must let them be free to explore & learn; if things are to be discovered and hopefully helpful for our planet's improvements. (^^^)
+++
Aug.17/11 Inspiration in the Morning... 303
There's nothing like good friends that help out in a pinch!!! To all those good friends out there: You are our "angels", and what keeps hope alive!!! You know who you are... WE LOVE & APPRECIATE YOU!!! HAPPY HUMP DAY!!! (*@^@*)

"Children are all foreigners."~Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
My Add:
Because everything is NEW to them, it's like learning a new language. Everything must be learned, experimented with, and the like. Let's help them the best that we can... without our own prejudices, biases, and the ugly tempers of intolerance we all can have. It may be harder than "the easy way", but it's definitely WORTH IT!!! CHEERS TO OUR CHILDREN!!! (*@^@*)

Aug.19/11 Inspiration in the Morning... 305
"Fate chooses your relations, you choose your friends."~Jacques Delille
My Add:
Some friends are temporary, some are for life. Some are "real", some are fake. Those that are going to stay with you "through thick or thin" are the REAL friends. Fake friends are only there to steal from you, deceive you, use you, or all of the above. These I call "frienemies". Let's keep the REAL friends, and rid ourselves of the stresses of frienemies. (*@^@*)

"Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats."~Howard Aiken (1900 - 1973)
My Add:
Photography is an art form, and deserves the same respects as any other. Posting pics BEFORE the time of release, is still considered as "stealing". It steals the possibility of the pic(s) in question being used when time comes. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE... PLEASE REMOVE THE PIC. Thankz (^^^)

Aug.23/11 Inspiration in the Morning... 307
"Follow your passion. Stay true to yourself. Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that."~Ellen DeGeneres, Tulane Commencement Speech, 2009
My Add:
Which path we choose is completely up to us... but we will be much happier in Life, & with ourselves; if we choose to stay true to ourselves & those we care for. (^^^)

Aug.24/11 Inspiration in the Morning... 308 (SUPER LATE)/ 'Afternoon Ass-miration'... 1
I'm sooo excited for our Halloween Calendar 2011/ 2012 coming out this year!!! Editing pics all week allows you to really see a difference once done. Let's NOT forget to DOUBLE CHECK anything that may be "amiss" before sending them to the printer shall we... lol (*@^@*)
+++
Aug.25/11 Inspiration in the Morning... 309
Whether starting a new task, or continuing an old one... There's nothing like the feel of accomplishment one gets when they finish a task, and know they can move onto another one. Calendar pics done... CHECK! Order submitted... CHECK! Calendars will be out VERY SOON!!! WOO HOO!!! Now onto another project... (*@^@*)

"When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time."~Saint Francis de Sales (1567 - 1622)
My Add:
Plans can change and add more difficulties, but there is usually a way around them. Sometimes we just need to keep our minds open to see it, or to accept the help of others. Either way sometimes this "way around" can also be a BETTER way. Here's to staying positive & hopefull! (^^^)
