Audacious Creativity!



Check out this new anthology that includes a chapter on making creative decisions. It expands on my blog "Creative Decision-Making." For her special help with this project, I thank Elaine Springer, one of the main contributors to it, for introducing me to Stephanie Gunning, our publisher, and for getting me involved in this project. Elaine and I met via LinkedIn (see her profile). Elaine is a wise counselor. Be sure to read her chapter and visit her website www.ebeautyandgrace.com. You will be happy you did, she is such a selfless advisor.
