Ljósið (previously known as Let Yourself Feel) from Esteban Diácono on Vimeo.

Can't think of a better video right here. Performance is never about rote, mechanical, process. That's practice. True performance is about letting yourself feel. Tell me what you think - tweet me: @kelleengriffin

Paganini, one of the greatest violinists of all time, was about to perform before a sold out opera house.  He walked out on stage to a huge ovation and felt that something was terribly wrong.  Suddenly, he realized that he had someone else's violin in his hands. Horrified, but knowing that he had no other choice, he began.

That day, he gave the performance of his life.  After the concert, Paganini reflected to a fellow musician, "Today, I learned the most important lesson of my career.  Before today, I thought the music was in the violin; today I learned the music is in me."

There's change afoot!

Change Everything.ca

The website, www.changeeverything.ca, is a powerful expression of the force of ideas.  Take this video for instance.  Someone jumped on the idea of paying it forward, and applied it to transportation.  Bikes, specifically.  The idea is simple, ride the bike to your destination, and then pass it along.

I can hear the naysayers, "huh?"  How will you get back again? How will this be reliable? Etc. 

I don't know.  And I'm okay with that.  Let's just see what happens next.  I love this old expression, "If you're pointed in the right direction, just keeping walking."  Or in this case, rolling!

Are we going to let the Canadians be the only ones with a change everything website? In the very least case, Seattle? Whatcha got?

If you're looking for ideas go to Seth Godin's blog.  He's got a pretty good list to get you started.
