Last but not least...
Wanted to share this with my friends-

"Committed to making an effort without being attached to results"
Not sure how it would apply to other people, but I'd like to make it a personal reminder in art and life
Produce, promote, and move on :)
Have a blossoming weekend everyone!
Martin
