Change is hard, listening may be even harder. When we are changing we
may find ourselves having to find more time to listen. Listening takes
energy.
Finding the right people to listen to is not
easy. Missteps are usually found along this path. The best method for
selecting good "listening" is to go with your intuition. Listening to a
person who is soothing might be good, yet they can lull us into a
stasis, state of complacency or even a paralysis of indecision.
Listening to someone who causes us major anxiety may not be a good
choice either. However, sometimes the individual's who causes us minor
anxiety and inner turmoil are helping us develop new thoughts, thinking
patterns and helping us change.
Listen to learn, listen to grow. Change will come.
Who do you plan on listening to?
This is a best of post.

Visiting Type City
I came across this http://www.veer.com/ideas/typecity/gallery.aspx">site today and was truly mesmerized.
OK after a while the music started to lull me into stasis - (see the Wikipedia science fiction definition I intended, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasis_%28fiction%29 )
but it was a great little "free" trip without packing a bag.

The Type City site is accessed by a very small link at the bottom left. It says start here , I missed it the first time -and when I returned again I did go on the excursion. Don't forget to use your up and down and side to side keys. I suggest letting your fingers do a little musical dance and you will get to explore a wide expanse of work. This is a great way to take a break.
The Veer.com site, a New York advertising firm, has a wonderful collection of typefaces - one of their specialties. A visit reminded me of advertising and marketing days when you had used letterpress transfer sheets to create posters and signs.
Enjoy the adventure. Warning.....don't let the music get to you! Trust me, it will lull you to sleep, complacency or drive you over the edge.
Other sites to visit if you like info about typefaces http://www.typographia.org/ and if you like the concept of black and white visit this interesting website http://blackwhitebliss.blogspot.com
