Danielle LaPorte, on creativity:

I focus for periods of time on creative work and I'm very insular during those times - not a lot of socializing.

I play when I want.

That means I can take off on a retreat, catch a matinee, make friends.

My core desired feelings are my time management system.

- Danielle LaPorte.

National Pet Day - April 11:

Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them,

filling an emptiness we don't even know we have.
