SUNDAY: BIG NEWS! I am now a Professor at Winthrop University!
I have landed my dream job! I am now Associate Professor of Illustration at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina (just south of Charlotte, NC) beginning this fall - woohoo! So, my trip to Hollins this year will be via a one-way ticket. Wowsa, this is all happening so fast. I've loved Edinburgh, but the degree was to land the dream job, which I have! So, off to the next adventure! Oh, and GO EAGLES! CLICK HERE to see more photos of the gorgeous campus!

SATURDAY: My TEDx TALK Featured on Female First!
Wowsa! I was recently alerted that my TEDx TALK "Is Your Stuff Stopping You?" was featured on the Female First website under "Female First's top Tedx talks on minimalism"! Can you believe that my talk has been viewed by over 600,000 people??? That's closer to a million than not - amazing! Every now and then I go in and read the comments. Most are lovely, some are nasty, and some are just downright funny. I may have to do a follow-up talk one of these days. Hmmmm. CLICK HERE to watch my TEDx Talk via the Female First website along with some other good talks on minimalism.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of intiative there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred. A whole stream of events issue from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."
– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
