RFR Collector Spotlight #21: Blake Menefee (Patreon)

My Star Wars brothers!

I’ve been in bed for over a week now very sick with Covid

I haven’t been able to get out of bed but I logged into Patreon last night and saw the RFR spotlights!    I bounced out of bed this morning for the first time in 9 days to my wife’s dismay.  She yelled “what are you doing!?!?”   I responded “ I have to take photos for rebel force radio”.   She rolled her eyes but she totally got it 

I included what this space means to me below but you don’t have to use it if it’s to long.   

Thank you for all you do for me, my family and the Star Wars community as a whole!   

Ps:  I’ve been going back through the archives and listening to all this great content while I have all this time on my hands 

What this space means to me…

“The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of a child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.” - A. Huxley

People at first glance may say this isn’t a place where serious business gets done.  I couldn’t disagree more.  Creativity is the ability to come up with new and useful ideas.   This space puts my brain in a constant state of creativity and curiosity.   It helps me deal with complex business problems that even I am surprised by the outcome sometimes.   I’m surrounded by the things that bring me back to the place of a child where that enthusiasm for life is so powerful.

As a child you loved it, making something out of anything.  It’s unfortunate that as we grow older that creativity seems to slip further away.  Each of us has an innate creative energy waiting to be expressed. Not using your creativity can have negative impacts on your life, The reasons behind this are simple.  By not expressing your creativity, you hide a part of your true self.
