My daughter invited me to a movie yesterday afternoon...Will Smith...how could you go wrong? But I can't get that movie out of my mind and the horrifying conclusion is stuck in my head and keeps playing over and over like a skipping record. There are no monsters sneaking into bedrooms in the middle of the night or terrors stalking the woods. The horrifying aspect of this movie is its reality and its humaness.

Jan 13 | Your Inner Picasso
My daughter sent me a link this weekend to MrPicassoHead.com and her "Picassoesque" creation. I LOVED it! And, despite that I was knee deep in preparing for a training session I need to give this week...I stopped and doodled around with the site...for an hour! This wasn't the mind-numbing game experience so many of our children descend into. It was fanciful...distracting...engaging...and, believe it or not, creative. But what really struck me was the number of "drawings" that have been created here. As of this morning there were 818,715 creations and this got me to thinking. From the first days of the appearance of modern man the human race has expressed itself with art. Whether in cave drawings, jewelry, masks, and even common objects like bowls, clothing, and weapons men have reflected their world and their love for beauty artistically. Why is this important? Because creativity does not just reflect itself in art but in problem solving as well.

Meet Sue Waite-Langley | Western Regional Mgr.
Ms. Waite-Langley brings a unique perspective to Creative Tutors. Educated at the University of Connecticut where she received a BS in Finance; Susan brings over thirty years of diverse professional experience in business management, financial planning, marketing, technology, and fundraising. While her early business experience was in technology sales, she most recently has been involved in many child related activities including working as Business Manager for a small private school and local dance studio and countless hours of volunteer work in support of public school dance programs in the DFW Metroplex. A widow with two grown stepchildren and two daughters attending the University of Utah, Sue is uniquely aware of the varied educational demands and needs of children. She states it best: "The public school system is geared today for the average learner. Exceptionally bright children and children who require extra help in order to progress academically are left out. We stand to lose half of our children...some through boredom and others to frustration." Her vast professional knowledge, coupled with her personal conviction to meet the educational needs of all children, is a true asset to Creative Tutors. In addition to her work with Creative Tutors she is involved with the Utah arts community and is a passionate family genealogist. Sue currently fills the position of Corporate Compliance Officer and has relocated to Salt Lake City to take on the additional responsibilities of Western Area Regional Director and Manager of the Northern Utah Territory.
