I love the talks on TED. The guests are incredibly inspiring, the topics diverse and always relevant.
Recently, a friend posted this talk on her Facebook profile and I just had to share. It’s a talk by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love .
It is helping me to shape my currently fragile attitude towards creating and rethink how I approach my creative projects.
Enjoy:

I'm Trish Roque and this is my arty blog. My goal is to make more art and to post it here along with musings and the many lessons I no doubt will encounter.
I'm also a web designer with a fondness for WordPress, a pillow to two ornery cats, chauffeur to one hairy dog, and wife to a wonderful husband. We live and play in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you'd like to learn more about me go here or read my blog.

Awesome clip. I love book Eat, Pray, Love. Being new to drawing and so urgently wanting to create but feeling like I’m stumbling through exercises without really grasping the creative aspect of it all. I’ll just keep stumbling and eventually the genius will show up.

Oh, I saw this on Penelope Dullaghan’s blog some weeks ago. Isn’t it wonderful?! What a clever and inspiring person Elizabeth is. Now I’d really better read Eat, Pray, Love….
So, I’ve only just discovered your new site here Trish, and I’m off to have a look around. It looks great on first impressions!
