Few consider the necessity to use your heart to inspire your audience and grow your business. A recent visit to San Francisco, California, inspired free-flowing thoughts throughout. At the center of it all is the song Tony Bennet wrote and sang, ‘I left my heart in San Francisco.’ The lyrics include:
‘When I come home to you, San Francisco, Your golden sun will shine for me.’
My Story
Creativity exists on every level imaginable in the city. It was a treat to return and revisit the familiar, plus see the rebuilt areas on our daily five-mile walks and the scenic routes in the car.
The Most Creative Driving Experience

A new app for the Google Driverless Car is alive in San Francisco! Upon summoning the car, the only driver for arriving where you desire is the Google Maps on the dashboard and satellite technology on top of the vehicle. I was encouraged to sit in the front seat to film a bit of the journey.
As one who suffered an ‘irreparable broken neck’ due to the reckless driving of another, you can imagine I was hesitant. Nevertheless, I sat in the front seat for sheer amazement!
The city has narrow and crowded streets with both vehicles and pedestrians. How safe can a driverless car be? A person walking on the street decided to cross the street although the light was red. Did we hit the person? The driverless vehicle knew to stop immediately!
I live in an area where driving is reckless—e.g., someone was ticketed for driving 114 mph on a 45-mile-per-hour street, and sadly that wasn’t the first time. I am hopeful that one day, sooner than later, the Google driverless car will make it across the country. Safety First!
Extra photos are available to illustrate the creativity everywhere in the city. On the other hand, it also reflects their devotion to including tremendous variety in thinking.
