I&#8217;ve titled this series of posts &#8220;Letting Go&#8221; because that was the theme that emerged.

I&#8217;m going to post a few times about this unique &#8220;creativity weekend&#8221; so let me give you a bit  of background to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those of you who read this blog will know of the recent online debate I had with author Ashley Merryman. Essentially, I was not letting her get away with dismissing brainstorming. Ashley co-wrote a recent Newsweek article titled &#8220;Forget Brainstorming.&#8221; While I liked the article generally, I hated the title, and disagree and dispute the [...]]]></description>
