Doris Lim, the owner of "CreativeThinkingForWomen.com", has only one thing in mind when she started this niche site, and that is to create awareness to the general public that you don't have to be a "rocket scientist" to have "creative thinking". She believes that no one should be thought of as being smarter or more creative just because one possesses a higher education. Of course, that helps a little. But, she believes that anyone can be taught to "think creatively". All one has to do is tap into that brain one has been born with and bring out the creative side. With so much knowledge and information available on the internet nowadays, it will take alot of effort, energy and time to select the best authors/writers, articles, tips and "how-to's" to come together in a creative process in this niche site and make it the "1-Stop Centre for Creative Thinking". And because Doris is a woman, this website will be dedicated to all "women", thus the name "CreativeThinkingForWomen.com" (Softly whispering... "men" are also welcome to visit).
A little bit of history about Doris. Having both an Asian and European background (Chinese and Portuguese), her thoughts are equally governed by both the East as well as the West. That accounts for her love of the English Language (she's being accused of having a British accent when she converses with Americans) and her obsession with Korean television serials (obviously, she has to make do with English subtitles). But, enough chit-chat.
Her credentials stem from her extensive years of experience working with "great minds" who "think creatively" and "act creatively". She has prepared speeches for politicians, consumer activists, assisted authors and researchers in the production of books and newsletters and also dabbled in the advertising and public relations sector.
Thus her quest now - to boldly go where no mind has gone before (no, we're not watching "Star Trek") and seek the BEST stuff out there in the "Cyber World" in order to share with her readers/subscribers, the various aspects of "Creative Thinking".

American Idol Season 9 - And the Winner is...
American Idol Season 9 - And the Winner is...
No, we have not made it to the Finals of "American Idol Season 9" as yet. But we might as well, what with the "strong vocals, uniqueness and heart" rendered by the very talented "Crystal Bowersox". She is the latest online sensation and deservingly so. It is still early in the game but regardless as to whether she is crowned the winner of this season's "American Idol", to me, a "Star" is already born. And I will be very surprised if no one offers her a music contract regardless of the outcome of how she fares in this competition.
To be fair to the guys, I also have "chalked up" a couple of names in my mind and among the gals, I also do have another one in mind. Well, maybe more than one. But, if I have to choose right here and now, like Simon says, "she's the one to beat". And I'm sure he meant it with the guys in mind as well.
It's a pity that fans like me for example could not participate in the voting process (being outside the US and all) 'cos it'll be a real shame if America made the same mistake as it did the previous year!! Read an earlier "Article" post on this subject.
I could go on and on about Crystal B but I think there's enough out there in the "online" world that "speaks volumes" about her singing.
For me, I'll just let her "voice" do the work. In this videoclip, she gives us her version of CCR's "Long As I Can See The Light". Enjoy... as you surely will.
