“If every artist in the American workforce banded together, their ranks would be double the size of the U.S. Army. More Americans identify their primary occupation as artist than as lawyer, doctor, police officer or farm worker.”

I truly enjoyed reading your article today on oprah’s magazine. i guess it was my right brain contemplation which lead me to the back of her book instead of starting from the front. i consider myself a right brain thinker for many years after over 25yrs of meditation and yoga. i like the laughter section “Ho-ho-ha-ha-ha-ha,ho,ho,ha-ha-ha- i could not help but laught myself. and empathy, how can one not have it after the cultivation of his or her deep soul from within. i loved the idea about storytelling because we all have great story to share just as you have shared to day with me. i have received lots of confirmations, ideas and motivation which i have already started to utilize thanks to you.
ps: this book was well put together and i will purchase it shortly!
