    Idea [I] WINNERS for Blog Topic of the Week #5

    The Artella Staff has voted on their favorite post for Blog Topic #5, on the topic of "This morning, the first thought in my head was..."

     
    In addition to voting for a post by non-Artella staff, they also voted on an "in-house" favorite post by a staff colleague.  Both winning posts win the prize of being the last two bloggers to receive the honor of hosting best-selling creativity author Eric Maisel when he comes to the Artella Café in March as part of his “virtual tour” for his new book, Van Gogh Blues: The Creative Person’s Path Through Depression.  That means that Maisel will be coming to YOUR blog to talk about his work and share his fabulous insight and inspiration, and you'll also get a FREE copy of the book!  Plus, the favorite post will also be featured in The Artella Daily Muse.

    Re: WINNERS for Blog Topic of the Week #5 -- Thank You!!

    Wow!  I'm almost speechless!  (There are people in my life who would deny that possibility!)  You have no idea how special this is to me this week.  I have spent most of this past week in bed fighting some unidentified bug that has left me feeling almost lifeless.  I've had no energy and have only in the past 24 hours managed to stay out of bed for more than an hour at a time.  I haven't watched TV, read or done anything else this week.  But this news is energizing me like nothing else has been able to!

    Thank you for all the beautiful comments you've left in my blog this week and for choosing my post as the Staff Winner for the week!  When I finally manage to fully resurrect from this illness I'll get back to posting in my blog and share some really exciting news about my new project--one I anticipate will keep me out of mischief and demand all the creativity I can muster for years to come.

    Again, Thank You All!  Now I think I'll take my huge smile and go take a nap before I keel over.

    Congratulations, Linda -- and Bill! You both are such dedicated Cafe visitors, and talented and creative writers.  I'm envious -- no, downright sinfully covetous! -- and excited for you both.  I hope this opportunity launches a thousand more just like it.  Bless you both -- Constance

    Re: WINNERS for Blog Topic of the Week #5

     Oh wow.  Thanks so much!  It finally paid to be nuts!  Tongue Tied  I am really looking forward to reading the book and reading Mr. Maisel's answers to our questions.

    Congratulations to Linda, too!  Where would we be without Artella's wonderful staff?

     

    Thanks again,

    Bill
