I’m in awe of how much Cherri Moote has accomplished. In addition to being an artist, bookbinder, calligrapher, creativity coach and teacher (I’m sure I’ve forgotten something), she’s written six books. Her latest, Building With Your Creative Stumbling Blocks is chock full of fun exercises and Cherri wisdom, and you can now order it directly from her website. Along with several other people, I copyedited Cherri’s book, and she’s still speaking to me even though I marked up her copy with a ton of commas. Apparently Eva put in even more than I did, so she’s officially the Tsarina of Commas and I’m merely the Acolyte. This put my mind at ease I can tell you.
Yesterday Cherri had a sumptuous luncheon for everyone who had helped on her book. And I must emphasize the word "sumptuous" here. I ate so much that I had to come home and sleep it off for a couple of hours. No wonder she doesn’t have any problems getting feedback. Before I forget, Cherri also gave each of us a 2007 calendar of fantastic photos that she and her husband Stan took recently on their 25th wedding anniversary trip to Tuscany. (I told you she was proactive).
While we were at Cherri’s house, we saw all her wonderful calligraphy—get your own art up on the walls, people—and her refurbished studio space. Oh my gosh. How can one person be so orderly? I think this is one of the reasons why Cherri accomplishes so much. Hmmm…do I really have time to start reorganizing my life right now?
