Claude Monet painted "Cliff Walk at Pourville" in 1885
Was looking up the correct title and author of a book this morning and came across this video of the author speaking.... I immediately thought of all my friend Cherie and our other creative friends here who are such good writers, singers, photographers, artist.... and wanted to share it. Yes. the video is a little over 19 minutes so I realize it would take someone very serious in their creative genius to take the time to listen.... and someone very interested in their creative genus is just the reason I posted it... If just one creative person (writer, singer, artist, etc.) reads and takes something with them, I will be happy.
To anyone who has stopped... "Good Day" I hope the day is or has been a pleasant one for you!

I listen to the entire video. I particularly liked her stories of the VA poet, Tom Waites and the African dancer...Though not a professional in any way, I could relate to everything she spoke of...she is a very encouraging lady
