This week on the Champagne Book Group blog, I share five (or six) items on my list of resolutions for the care and feeding of creativity in this (still) new year.

Here’s number 4: “Every day, recognize someone else’s efforts. Easy, because every day someone helps me in ways large or small. Thank the person who clears carts from the grocery store parking lot. Recognize the person who let you have the right of way through a narrow path in the snow. Acknowledge the mail carrier. Notice the hard work of a custodian. Smile, say thank you, and watch them light up. Notice how you light up, too.”
