Swinging......................

       There is an old expression that says, "No risk, no reward."  I say, "No risk, no nothing."  All creative people take risks.  It is the nature of the process.  Daring to think something new or try something new. . . .Wherever your creativity takes you, risk comes along for the ride - it's a natural part of the process - enjoy the thrill of it like you would a roller coaster ride.  Fail to hit a baseball two out of three times for 20 years and you'll go to the hall of fame witha .333 batting average.
