Last night while I was waiting for the AAA guy to come get my keys out of my locked car, I sat in a Whole Foods grocery store and started writing my obituary.
This obit-writing was an ASSIGNMENT from the Creative Capital how-artists-can-make-more-money workshop I attended last weekend.
THE IDEA: focus on what I want my life to be and amount to, so I can be sure I'm doing what I can to make that happen.
RESULTS SO FAR: I learned that: it stirs me up to think long about this stuff. That I'm pretty much (except for my procrastinating time) spending my time in the right pursuits. That I can be much more effective with less effort by a little more focusing and with a lot more THINKING BIG.
And that I mean to spend my 100th birthday on a round-the-world cruise on the QE2.
I'm still working on this obit. My plan is to post it here when I'm done, in hopes that going public will strengthen its impact on me and help me measure my progress.

I haven't read it in awhile, but a book that helped me a tremendous amount in the mid-eighties was Shakti Gawain's Creative Visualization.
It has similar exercises to the obit writing one, and the knight on horseback one (which I adored, btw!).
I have bought multiple copies of the book over the years b/c it's one of those books I keep at home and in my office for loaning out. When it doesn't come back, I replace it.
I still want to see the picture of the Barbie doll!
Thanks for reminding me. The picture of the Career Success Barbie doll is coming. It's my ultimate visualization attempt; helped me get Sister India out.
