Persona; dangles between a nostalgic subfusc and a spellbinding lucidity

Cold feet under a warm blanket, steam over an empty mug--rain splatters on dry window pane--open journals of closed memories... tears of laughter and joy of pain... schmaltz of diametric morning.

It takes just one idea or act to connect the dots between hard work and success... Don’t relent until you find it

When one's craft is rooted in strong relationship, he or she lures the into becoming a part of the show.

Put in the time, learn something new, challenge your perception and know that a setback is an opportunity in hindsight

It is only with the heart that one can see, hear and feel clearly. Think of an image, music or movie that moves you. Things that we truly love touch our heart before our head analyzes them away. Once we think we understand them, they disappear... It is because simple things in life are invisible, inaudible and insensible to an analytical mind and an undiscerning heart. Let your heart hear the music -- be moved by images, people and places... for that makes you more alive than others.
