On the Road Again… la la la

A Catherine Noon

We’re heading over to Ohio to visit family. I figured today would be a good day to highlight one of the hidden gems of Toledo, The Toledo Museum of Art.

A couple things set this museum apart and make it worth a visit. First, they decided they couldn’t bring the most expensive pieces to Toledo. Instead, they created exhibits with artists related to the masters’ works. If they can’t bring in the most important Monet, they’ll bring a smaller one in and then highlight artists who influenced them and who they, in turn, influenced.

Their website is another admirable creation. They highlight art each week in blog posts, reviewing the pieces in their collection and the traveling exhibitions.

I suggest checking out the website, at the least, and if you can, visit the museum. It is well worth a visit.

The Secret to Enthusiasm

A Catherine Noon

Okay. Let’s be blunt. Enthusiasm isn’t always lauded. In fact, many times folks want to put it down, as thought an adult being enthusiastic is indecent, or that the enthusiastic person will use up all the available energy and there won’t be any left for others.

Here, then, is the secret to enthusiasm, so that it will spread like a virus and then we’ll all have it.

What makes you passionate?

What gets you ranting?

When you have the time, what do you like to do? Not the socially-acceptable answer, but the real truth?

What common themes occur in the answer to the previous question?

The more that you understand these things, the more enthusiastic you become about them.  Don’t be afraid to follow your passion.  No matter what people say, being enthusiastic is the secret to happiness.

I figured I’d share a link today, because a little later on I have news!  So stay tuned.

In the meantime, check out the Erotica Readers and Writers Association!  Pretty cool, no?  I like how classy their front page is, as well as the subject.  There’s a time and place for more gritty sexy stuff, but I also appreciate artful erotica.
