I heard it through the grape vine

Interesting article by Oliver Burkeman here about inspirational quotes, in particular the one attributed to Nelson Mandela,  which I must admit I have used and enthused about. It starts, 'Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate...'.  He never said it. Oh well. Its still inspirational...

One week until the conference, and I had a phone call from the Hotel Diana, who are jointly hosting it, saying we had to stop taking registrations, as they were worried about accommodating everyone - yes its been very popular and they were panicking about the numbers. We also received a huge art materials order a week early, which has also caused panic and anxiety. All part and parcel of organising a conference - please can someone remind me never to do it again!

My conference poster about Art Therapy, Mindfulness and 'Flow' is almost finished. Its called 'Leaves on the Brisbane River' and has a background of the river, and some old images and photos. Oh, and there are a few words as well. I will post a photo once its done. My conference artwork is also almost there. Everything is coming together, albeit sometimes with added panic.

More later.
