I was at the thrift store last week on one of my treasure hunts, and I came across a book by T. Harv Eker called Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. Seeing that I was in a thrift store, it was a little ironic, but I picked it up acknowledging that perhaps I do not have…
I have posted a few arts advocacy thoughts over the past few weeks. I sent you my Arts are Everywhere presentation, and have given you my ideas about how we can build a stronger arts advocacy campaign. The main issues that I see are: We are not doing enough of the work that is needed…
Can you believe I have been posting since 2008? It will be five years next February.
