Celeste, I really enjoyed this article - so many golden nuggets in this one!
I had NO idea you were a cancer survivor - and I had been reading you for awhile. OMG -- how absolutely wonderful, and I am so much more thrilled you kicked cancer's butt!!!! Best news of the morning!!
I would LOVE to know what it's like to write on a website that has no comments -- why did they remove them? What impact did it have on writers? readers? That all fascinates me!
I love how you described different scenarios where we all are creators and artists...I have to say it's very hard for me to call myself that. I think it's easier to say creator - artist, ummm...yeah no. I consider you an artist - just as your son says, I keep it in a special place for gifted individuals like you who see possibilities in taking anything and creating art.
After reading this, I realize that I'm looking at "art" in a very minimal way....so thanks for helping me to see so many artists around me! Maybe one day I'll call myself that! ;-)
Great article!!!!!
