Create! Don’t Just Regurgitate!

This is a book I was writing to release before JUNE 2012.  Alas it is still in process and still not complete or released.

It is time to change this Industrial Age, narrow-minded approach.  Every child deserves the right to learn how to develop their own specific skills, talents, drives, missions while becoming viable parts of their culture, society, the world.

CREATE! DON’T JUST REGURGITATE!

- – - -

12 chapters of ideas…past, present pfuture I have had, have and am striving to have or create in the near future.

All aimed at helping to reawaken the natural creativity in people and helping them take control of their lives to become creative more and more every day they are alive.
