"No matter how much you feel at peace with your work,
you won't be satisfied without getting some positive feedback."
Llana Simons, Author of "A Life of One's Own"
Body and Soul magazine, October 2007- pg. 26
I am thankful for all the books and magazines I have the opportunity to read at Ali's house. I always find some quote that inspires me or makes me think and question whether I agree with the statement. Many of the creative works I do, very few people see. I am thankful that I can feel peace in my soul, without any positive feedback, for most of my creative endeavors. One of my positive feelings of peace is in the act of accomplishing and finishing a project.

I'm with you. While it's nice to have a pat on the back now and then, it shouldn't the yardstick for our inner value or the value of the things we create. Personal satisfaction is a great gift!
