I just wanted to extend a big happy hi to Marlene, my 30th follower. You can see what Marlene has going on at her blog Another Day Another Story. Glad you could join me at my kitchen table Marlene. I'll keep a place set for you.

Lots has happened to me while sitting at the kitchen table -- report cards approved, allowance paid out, acceptances from universities poured over, wedding plans planned then called off, travel brochures, photos and souvenirs pulled out then put away. More card games than I can hope to remember, and more games of Trivial Pursuit than I care to admit. And then there are the shared meals with friends, the wine and the laughter. The kitchen table (and its close relative -- the coffeeshop table) is also the place where I feel most creative, where words sizzle in my head like garlic in hot oil. They sputter and splatter and leave little grease stains on the page. So pull up a chair, sit and join me. There may even be a glass of wine in it for you.
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. keep the channel open.

One must believe that private dilemmas are, if deeply examined, universal, and so, if expressed, have a human value beyond the private, and one must also believe in the vehicle for expressing them, in the talent.
