Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Live fully now: Tragedy and Hope’s Alan Watt’s video message:
Isn’t it a delightful surprise when someone puts together a beautifully simple and elegant piece of art designed around that which we think of constantly, yet struggle to articulate?

Lloimonincia Hall, an LSO sophomore, just changed the way gymnastics is presented.
She took a risk.
With a heart full of passion.
Million reasons why we never saw it before – a list a mile long, no doubt.
Including you might get banned, or kicked off the team.
What does this mean to any of us?
Everyone told the beginning blogger to focus on one blog.
No one is going to get five interconnected blogs.
Art only becomes art when it is done freely, with unstoppable passion.
You, reading this, are an artist.
But you may not believe it.
(Find a million reasons to believe it. The best time to start was yesterday. The next best time is today.)

Sitting here in Saskatoon’s Hotel Bessborough stumbled upon this short Steve Jobs video speech.
It begs us to watch even though we don’t have time…
Peace and contentment come from one place.
Balance.
The book written for a young child contains the same message as Steve Jobs, but was written without the eminent, fast approaching reality of death.
That’s what makes the book special.
There was no pressure to write it.
None.
And the author added a little more peace and contentment to his life.
This is how it goes.
If Steve Jobs were to say there are no shortcuts, we’d all shake our heads ‘yes’.
When you hear it here instead?
Whatever! Right?
Wishing you peace and contentment immeasurable.

Maybe this video will help someone today. And we all could use a helping hand. All of us.
Paradigm Shift: Why write a book for your child?
What if we thought of the book as a giant love letter?
Wishing you peace and blessings immeasurable to you and everyone you love.
And know that one of the best ways to heal ourselves is to help others heal.
Survive or thrive. It doesn’t take genius.

PS. Just had an aha moment – more like a reminder – all the writing (for those of you reading all five) has the same intent. Maybe these posts will help someone today.
Pausing for a minute to give the book stuff a break. Late last night stumbled upon some beautiful art. Sean Quigley was 16 when he put this rendition of Little Drummer Boy together in 2011.
One boy, one song, he did it all, except the video (his sister did that). To honor a King. To honor his passion (music), to honor things he isn’t even aware he honors yet.
Art.
Doing the same thing everyone else does, but better or differently (and in rare cases, both):
Okay, so one little book thing. It’s art because among the many different applications people can use it for, perhaps none is more pronounced than balance.
Living with balance is art.
