I'm almost 30 years old.  I wish I'd devised my board of directors a long long time ago.  I've been stumbling around for a while, but this should help!

My dream team includes:

1. Van Gogh

*For his pure love of painting and of the world.

2. Da'Vinci

*Curious human who expressed his talent but explored the world first and foremost.

3. Elizabeth Gilbert

*She reveres inspiration and wants to help people find theirs.

4. James Jean

*Magical paintings

5. Caroline McHugh

*She calls us all to be our most authentic selves.  She excepts nothing less.

6.Sara Bareilles

* Talented and loving singer/songwriter. She worked really hard to get where she is.

7. John Lennon

*Because John wanted to make the world a better place.

8. J. K. Rowling

*For telling a story that means so much to me and some many others.

9. Louise Fitzhugh

*A kick ass woman who wanted to empower girls.

10. Heronimous Bosch

*He was a trickster and knew something about the dark and the light.

I'm going to print out their lovely faces and put them on my mirror so we can all talk together as I'm getting ready for the day.  The mirror is in a nice, sunny part of the room, where I can sit on the floor and think.
