What's the most romantic place you've visited? I'd especially love to hear any literary tie-ins if a book was set there or an author's home is available to view there.

One of my greatest life lessons came when I studied studio art in undergrad. My amazing painting instructor, Professor Blizzard, said when you're an artist there are no mistakes. Things that I considered accidents or missteps were actually meant to happen, perhaps even essential to my art. What if our whole lives were a wild, messy, yet beautiful experiment? What if instead of trying so hard to always get it "right" -- perfect, acceptable, the common standard -- we embraced our uniqueness, our imperfections, our life-in-progress as art? How would your life change if you lived that philosophy?

Sorta puts into perspective that other Greek quotable, “Doctor, know thyself.”
Oh, I don’t know that one!
