A sweet lady

The first person, very creative person (and also a very sweet lady) I want to talk about in this Weblog, is Ms. Kirstin Elaine Myers.

Ms. Myers is the owner of the company named Globond. Globond serves a community of globe-trotting entrepreneurs, executives, investors, politicians, journalists, artists and other professionals as they live and work around the world. Consider it like a big international gathering of very creative minds.

The first question I asked her was very simple: do you know there’s an artist inside yourself?

She answered:
“Is that a trick question? LOL”, “Of course” I replied smiling.

She continued: “I do think that much of what we do at Globond is more of an art than a science yes. We mix and match people and make new patterns and outcomes that I might consider to be a work of art but which might be difficult for others to see in that way.”

MM: “I read that there is place for artists in Globond, what are your goals for them?”

KEM: “Our goals for our artists, musicians and actors is that they get an opportunity for many people around the world to enjoy their art and to help them get paid well for it so that they do not have to do something else besides their true passion to make a living.”

MM: “That’s amazing, Miss Myers. Let me ask you another tricky question, a mom is an artist?”

KEM: “Depends on what kind of mom she is, if she is a good mom yes, if not, no.”

MM: “Good answer” I smile, “I know you are a mom, besides being a good entrepreneur, what is the next step in your life and career?”

KEM: “Make Globond a well-known name all over the world, get married to my soulmate and business partner Chris Lawson, buy a new house with lots of land in Gloucester and have my kids succeed in their new schools.”

MM: “And I wish you to succeed! thank you for your time”.

Why Music, Arts, People, Ideas?

Music and Arts, People and Ideas.

What links all these words together? It’s not difficult. But first let’s begin studying the term “artist”. It means “One, such as a painter, sculptor, or writer, who is able by virtue of imagination and talent or skill to create works of aesthetic value”, but also “A person whose work shows exceptional creative ability or skill”.

If we agree that whenever we have exceptional ideas and we are able to create from them a work of aesthetic value we can be considered “artists” then you know what links all those words together: creativity, the ability or power to create.

And on these pages you’ll read about Arts in general, and much about Music (my world), about Ideas and People who had them and created through them… and about You, yes about You, reader, because maybe you don’t know, but there’s an Artist somewhere, think about it… somewhere inside yourself.
