Visit a stimulating place... like Eastern Market in Detroit

Today's Growth Idea:  Visiting a stimulating place can do wonders.  Eastern Market in Detroit appeals to the senses in many ways.  The first thing that strikes you as you approach is the visual appeal.  The market is surrounded by many old warehouse type buildings.  The sheds that the produce is sold in are newly constructed.  Many of the buildings have beautifully painted murals on the walls.  The culture is diverse.  As you approach you can smell the food.  Often, you can smell food cooking by vendors outside.  Musicians play on the streets.  As you walk across the bridge to the meat house vendors are set up selling their products.  It never fails to amaze and excite me to go to the market.

Today's Business:  I am looking into becoming a memeber of the American Glass Guild. They will be sponsoring a conference in Detroit this July!  A great opportunity for the city of Detroit and those of us who live in or nearby.  My hope is to become a member and volunteer to help out with this event.  I can't wait.  Volunteering will give me the opportunity to meet glass artists of all levels from all over.  It's always a burst of energy to attend something of this magnitude.  Hope you check it out!
