In many ways I feel like I am coming to you back from the dead, and, I guess, in many ways I am. I was swined and have managed to survive H1N1. I guess I don't need to fret about the vaccination any more, that's for sure. It was a miserable, long road to go, but I'm almost back to full energy and brainpower.
It feels invigorating to be back and among the living again. I am feeling refreshed with some fun, new projects and clients who have been patient enough to wait for me until I was no longer contagious and coughing all over my keyboard.
People talk to me all the time about my company name, aha creative, and it's really funny how everyone has such a unique take on their own "aha" capabilities. I love hearing about "aha" moments and how creativity and inspiration affect us all, even those who claim total lack of imagination. A friend just shared with me a wonderful article about how brilliant ideas come to be. This article is spot-on, in my humble opinion. Sometimes creativity comes in a flash, but, more often, it comes after much absorption, research, analyzation and idea-swirling. All those concepts and visualizations need time to brew and ripen. A fine wine or beer can't be made in a day, and, most of the time, creative ideas and inspiration require a process of fermentation and then they can come out and play.
Enjoy the article, and thank Joy for sharing it with all of us (I'm so glad I have a friend who regularly reads SmartMoney Magazine). SmartMoney-"Finding Your Next 'Eureka' Moment"
I will be back much sooner for my next posting!
