Back when I started http://www.BrettWGould.com, I typed three words that would be the gps for my content here. Perspective brings focus. Everyone has an ability to change the world with a craft that they are uniquely positioned to do, to … Continue reading 

Break The Jar…Use It All!

When you "Break The Jar", there isn't any going back.  That's a good thing...

We are a world obsessed with recognition.  I suppose when you’ve worked really hard to accomplish something, the joy that comes from hearing applause on the other end isn’t inherently a bad thing.  But I would suggest to you that … Continue reading 

A No Bird Brainer.

Sometimes, it's just a "No Bird Brainer".

Have you ever seen a bird flying full tilt only to smack into a window or large, glass door?  What they saw as open air turned out to be the one thing they wouldn’t have expected.  But when you step … Continue reading 

Gumballs and the Tea Kettle.

When a vision collides with the frustration of bringing it to life.

I glanced over as I was working today and something struck me. The assortment of Sharpies, in all their various colors, reminded of another way to illustrate what I feel so passionate about. It’s another reason why I have developed … Continue reading 

Not So Special.

When a special isn't really all that special...

A simple thought that we all need a reminder on from time to time. Why do you think that offering what should be a given as a “special” is going to overwhelm me? If it’s a special thing to get … Continue reading 

Get After It.
