Life and the Element

Long overdue update on our lives.

Angel and I are cruising along, and despite some hiccups here and there, we are, for the most part managing well (I hope). I suppose it is all thanks to God for providing us with just what we needed, just at the right time.

A big influence on our lives recently has been this book by Ken Robinson. The title is "The Element - How finding your passion changes everything." Some of you might remember Mr Robinson from his TED talk on creativity in schools and the education system in general. The book is an expanded version of the speech he gave for TED.

I strongly suggest you at least listen to the talk here, especially if you are an educator in any capacity. Especially relevant since the lecture title is" Do Schools Kill Creativity?"
