  • Creativity is Wisdom

    “Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they are ideally set up to understand stories.†Roger C. Schank, Cognitive Scientist

    I am an Austrian-Californian multimedia Artist, educator, author of 5 art-related books, podcaster, coach, creative advisor and former Newport Beach CA arts commissioner. Fluent in German and English.

    I’m an outside the box thinker, who is a passionate creativity/awareness researcher that looks for true values of humanity outside of any man-made system. I have discovered a paradox: 95% of worldwide artists are existing around the poverty level, but they love to create so much they are proud to be poor. But without creativity there are no man-made systems, there would be no world as we know it.

    The solution: I discover patterns within Art that foster creative communication and identify art values outside any systems which always raise our human potential.

  • If a Blind Man Can Do it, What's Your Excuse?

    This post contains affiliate links.

    Maxwell Ivey grew up in a family of carnival owners. He started losing his vision to retinitis pigmentosa at an early age becoming legally blind by junior high school and totally blind by the time he graduated from college. He did graduate from traditional schools, achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, and worked in the family business until his dad's death forced the closure of their small show. Needing something new he started helping people sell surplus rides. He had to learn so much including how to hand code html, recruit clients, set fees, build an email list, manage social media, and more. People were inspired by his willingness to take on difficult challenges and encouraged him to share more about being a blind entrepreneur. That led to a second site as the blind blogger, with three books out so far and a fourth due any time. He's promoted himself through podcast interviews appearing on over 200 shows as well as public speaking where he has shared his inspiring story with local organizations and national conferences. He helps other creative entrepreneurs grow their brands through online interviews. He loves to sing, travel, and find new adventures. If you have questions, just ask.

    Saving the World One Story at a Time, Course on Ûdemy

    The world is in such chaos right now that sometimes we need to get a perspective on what's happening. I designed this course on Ûdemy for people who are looking for a way to get a better understanding about what it means to be a human being. Stories are one great way to walk in the shoes of the characters, connect with them emotionally and learn from their mistakes. Then taking what you have learned and use it in the real world. It's learning in a fun way! If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, I hope to see you in class.

  • Write the Book You Want to Read

    This post contains affiliate links.

    My name is Alanna, I'm from the UK, and have just released my first novel, Abolish the Rose, published with Atmosphere Press. As a lifelong reader, long-time writer, and first-time, indie-published author, it's been a long journey and a rollercoaster of mistakes and lessons learnt!

    I also love salsa dancing, learning new languages and living in Barcelona, Spain.

    Abolish the Rose tells the story of Camille Addison, who is recently retired and struggling to come to terms with the idea that her life has been a waste, or that she should have "achieved" something more with her time, after an unexpected tragedy knocked her off course. The title comes from a quote (or indeed my interpretation thereof) from James Russell Lowell: "The question of common sense is always: 'what is it good for?' – a question which would abolish the rose and be answered triumphantly by the cabbage."

    Born in Athens, Greece as an Air Force brat, Teri M Brown graduated from UNC Greensboro with a multitude of degrees – majors in Elementary Education and Psychology and minors in Math and Sociology – she just couldn't settle on one thing! While homeschooling her four children, she began her writing career by focusing on small businesses, writing articles, blog posts, and website content. She published five nonfiction self-help books dealing with real estate and finance, receiving "First Runner Up" in the Eric Hoffman Book Awards for 301 Simple Things You Can Do To Sell Your Home Now, finalist in the USA Best Books Awards for How To Open and Operate a Financially Successful Redesign, Redecorate, and Real Estate Staging Business and for 301 Simple Things You Can Do To Sell Your Home Now, and Honorable Mention in Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year Award for Private Mortgage Investing. In 2017, Teri began dabbling in fiction, a lifelong dream. Upon winning the First Annual Anita Bloom Ornoff Award for Inspirational Short Story for a piece about her grandfather, she began writing in earnest, and published Sunflowers Beneath the Snow in January 2022. Teri's second novel, An Enemy Like Me, is launching in January 2023. Teri is a wife, mother, grandmother, and author who loves word games, reading, bumming on the beach, taking photos, singing in the shower, hunting for bargains, ballroom dancing, playing bridge, and mentoring others – especially youth and women who are having trouble discovering their worth.
