when i grow up...

Danette, over at The Drawing Board just started an awesome new project called Self Expression Springboards. Basically she is providing a creative catalyst, a springboard to help get us inspired. She says, "My catalysts will invite your imagination, creativity and curiosity to find new ways of expressing yourself - and maybe discovering new things about yourself you didn't even know you knew!" Her blog is totally amazing, full of tons and tons of creative motivation.

This Week's Creative Catalyst: Imagination

Imagine you at your most powerful. You rock. You are a freaking champion, and everyone knows it. We are filling a stadium to the brim, voices cheering and hearts splashing in anticipation of you making your entrance. We all know what song is going to blast through the speakers as you walk into the ring. It suits this moment perfectly. It makes you feel so good, to step into the light with this song playing...

Freekin' LOVE this song by Michelle Shocked. And, wow, she is a total whack job in this video, which I kinda love also! (and totally didn't expect) So, yeah this one is perfect for me. It makes me feel happy and silly and funky and free.

This is one of those songs that I love to blast REALLY LOUD while driving down the road pretty fast. It would be the perfect soundtrack for Don and I driving through the desert in a convertible Cadillac, pulling an airstream...
