This is refreshing my creativity and I finally got to meet the inspirational Cammi Peterson! What I didn't know before was how quickly she can produce the most fantastic artwork from scratch.

Cammi has an amazing website/blog where you can view all her artwork. Just click here to see all the goodness.

And here's three paintings that Cammi did in the space of two days!! As you can see, the talent is top notch! Enjoy!

I'm always looking for inspiration and motivating resources. I recently became aware of Mike Dooley and his TUT (Totally Unique Thoughts). Click here to learn more.

He is the author of the popular book, The Secret, which details the Law of Attraction and other positive thinking techniques.

I find these methods the ideal way to combat negativity and cynicism which can sometimes creep into everyday life and stop us from achieving our goals.

Combined with the authors Robert Kiyosaki, Jim Collins and Thomas J Stanley, who have their own unique way of teaching you to keep positive and achieve your goals and dreams, I totally recommend you go out there and find what works for you!

And most of all, have fun!

As time goes on you tend to learn new skills and get wiser.

That's the journey I've been on creating GrowlersWorld.

I've discovered archives of how the site looked since in was created in 2003.

See the beginnings under it's first name Austin25.freeserve.co.uk.

And then check out how it looked after I acquired the domain name GrowlersWorld.com.

One constant remains.

Change followed by innovation.

GrowlersWorld endures.

Built to last.

Wow!

This news literally knocked me for six!!

Two of my favourite creative companies have merged (Disney bought Marvel Entertainment) in an amazing masterstroke.

This will give Marvel access to the deep and experienced pockets of Disney to venture into new areas.

Imagine a Marvel/Pixar movie for example.

And the chances of Marvel going bankrupt again, as in 1996, are slim to none, guaranteeing the immortality of the intellectual properties.

Stan and Jack and all who followed created an asset, a powerful and valuable asset out of practically nothing.

That feat is like performing magic.

Excellent stewardship by Joe Quesada.

I like this deal.

I like this news and I look forward to the many opportunities for superhero and creative fiction in the future.

Read the Financial Times account of the story!

I first heard the news on Comic Book Resources! See their account!

Newsarama also gives a great version of the story with reaction from the fans!

Here's a brief video of Disney's President and CEO Robert Iger explaining the historic and pulse-pounding deal.

I was introduced by the amazing success songs of Paul Hoffman by a friend recently and loved how positive, inspiring and motivating the lyrics are that are behind the catchy RnB style beats.

The messages are repeated throughout the songs to stick in your head and I'd like to reproduce one here for your enjoyment.

Perfect for keeping you on the path to achieving your goals!

This song is called I am a warrior and it's composed by Paul Hoffman and sung by Bill Lane.

1st Verse

I act in spite of my fear,

I do whatever it takes,

No matter what tomorrow brings,

I'm ready for anything.

Bridge

You see I'm bigger than any problem,

I succeed in everything,

I never give up,

I never give in,

Because I'm always finding a way to win.

Chorus

I am a warrior,

True to my heart,

I stand in my power.

2nd Verse

I act in spite of my mood,

I am willing to do what's hard,

I am tougher than any challenge,

There's nothing that's going to stop me

Bridge

Chorus

I heard some beautiful words today that I just had to share with you.

For all creative people everywhere!

Enjoy.

"If you never know that you inspired anyone, you will... the seeds are planted, even if you are not seeing them grow into trees years and years later. Just keep going and have faith that your work, whatever it is, is inspiring someone, teaching someone, showing someone that they can do it too." - Cammi Peterson

Thanks to the wonder that is Facebook, I've had the great pleasure to get back in touch with old Secondary School friends who I haven't seen in 21 years.

What an amazing rush! After I left school I kind of went on a mission to achieve as much as I could, as fast as I could. So before I knew it. Time had flown.

Memories that have lain dormant have been flooding back, and it's been good to hear what people have been up to.

Have also been going through some old photos of family and friends for the first time in ages.

Sometimes in life it's good to take a look back before you move forward...

Wow! Talk about revitalisation!

A chance meeting on Twitter has resulted in two great friendships that have served to totally refresh my thinking and love for life and all things creative.

Inspiration can truly be found anywhere and when you see it, grab it with both hands and enjoy it to the maximum.

Had a chance to visit the recent Terracotta Film Festival and their follow up screening of the Fox Family.

A great debut festival, organised by Joey Leung, which aims to bring more East Asian movies to UK screens.

Very impressed with it all and a bright future awaits, methinks.

These are the voyages of the StarShip GrowlersWorld.

It's mission?

To seek out inspiring, successful and creative people.

To boldly motivate where no one has motivated before!
