HERE ARE THREE OF MY FAVOURITE QUOTES FOR THIS MONTH:
There are two great days in a person’s life- the day we are born and the day we discover why. William Barclay
Creative work is not a selfish act…It’s a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. -The War of Art
If you find yourself asking, “AM I really a writer? Am I really an artist?” chances are you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death. –The War of Art
THANK YOUOn a work note, it was wonderful sharing ‘Relieving Stress with Humour’ with many meaningful groups recently, including;

It was especially terrific to be part of a ‘ A Night of Laughter’ in Brantford for our dear friend, Gord Paynter. On the second anniversary of Gord’s passing, North Park Collegiate Theatre was officially renamed The Gord Paynter Theatre.
Speaking of humour, I had a great time teaching stand up to another fantastic group of graduating students at Second City this month. Look out world!

STRESS BUSTING NOTES:
Check out this amazing movie called Forks Over Knives.
