carol williams: The ABCs of Life: I - 09/14/24 10:09 AM
"Follow your dreams. They know the way."
Dear Michelle,
Imagination:
I’ve been thinking a lot about imagination lately and how it plays an important role in living a happy and meaningful life. When I look back on my journey, I realize that imagination was often the inspiration that set things in motion for me. It wasn’t about daydreaming; it was seeking and seeing possibilities and then figuring out how to do things differently when others were stuck in the same old ways. I always like to mix it up a bit.
Also, when others saw obstacles, I relished in finding creative solutions. … (16 comments)

"You never know what you can do until you try." 
Our AR Zoom FUNwork assignment for the week is to generate AI images of ADUs. I used the same prompt in three different programs with three different results. I like the NightCafe one best, but it doesn't have a red door.
Different results from the same prompt:
A royal blue accessory dwelling unit with a bright red door is surrounded by a variety of colorful flowers throughout the landscaping.

“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” -Henry Ford
As many of you know Paddy Deighan MBA JD PhD has been very generous with his time in doing several Zoom presentations on the subject of AI. Those sessions have certainly piqued my curiosity, and I've been enjoying experimenting with it in various ways.
Since my AI radar is up, I saw a Free 5-day AI Challenge offered on Facebook, so I signed up. If you've ever taken a FREE seminar, there is usually quite a bit of time spent on an upsell. … (19 comments)

“The secret of happiness is freedom, the secret of freedom is courage.” 
-Carrie Jones
As we celebrate Independence Day this year, let's remember how that freedom was won. The road to our independence was not easy, and it still isn't.
This image, which I created with the NightCafe Image Creator, is a heart adorned with the stars and stripes of our flag, symbolizing our love for our country.

Good food, Good friends, Good times.
As someone who doesn't spend a lot of time in the kitchen, I appreciate simple and refreshing recipes that are easy to make and always a hit at gatherings involving food.
The June Challenge invites us to share our favorite summer recipe. My contribution is a year-round crowd-pleaser.
My Go-To recipe for taking as a side dish to a BBQ or holiday meal is called 2-Berry Salad. I take it to just about every food-related event I attend. It’s light, flavorful, and incredibly easy to prepare. It's the perfect cool, refreshing, colorful complement to the heavier … (17 comments)
