I am a designer, strategist, web developer, cook, photographer, and illustrator.&nbsp; Before I started undertaking this change of heart I always thought that those commas made me scattered and fragmented. I have had a chance recently to meet some who have found strength not separation from their commas and it has given me a new brass ring to reach grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without fear, I am discarding the old paradigms of my previous sites and I have started creating on top of new thoughts and concepts that are percolating.&nbsp; This site will not be a depository of my work, neither a reflection of trends nor a showcase of bells and whistles. It will be a playground to play in, a canvas to paint, and a challenge to force me to improve.&nbsp; But most importantly this website will be a creation. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This area will be a place for me to express my observations, ideas, and opinions about how creativity affects the world I am in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creativity is woven into the very fabric of the creator.&nbsp; Creators might embrace it, challenge it, or even try to run away from it.&nbsp; In the end, it will enrich or haunt the person to their grave.&nbsp; A finer point on the truth is that creativity might do both to the creator throughout their life. Great artists have described their desires and abilities as a gift and curse from god. I have lived through glimmers of that description with thankfully a positive impression. I can say without a doubt that I am blessed to experience the inner pull and stretch of the fabric of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope that this virtual space will reflect that over time.
