Another way to look at things.

My most excellent cousin Ingrid has always had the following quote as her email signature. I, in turn, have always wanted to steal it for something, so here we go.

If you change the way you look at things, things will change the way they look. -Wayne Dyer

My job as an ad gal is to use channels to show people another way to look at something, often something mundane and seemingly uninteresting. Make it relevant to them. Make them need it. Seems crass, but that's what we do. And, it's interesting and fantastic when it works and we're able to transform something properly.

Even things that seem pretty solid and airtight can always be reworked into something new and quite spectacular. Providing inspiration on that front is Pomplamoose.

Pomplamoose is a two-man operation known for covering popular music with an entirely different sound. They're not new, but I re-stumbled upon them yesterday evening when I needed to take another look at my own situation, and I thought I'd share a sampling of them with you here.

I'm challenging myself to find a new way to look at things today.
