War of Work – Inspiration by Emerson
Who can you help out this week? Who has helped you and it made all the difference?
War of Work – Inspiration by Eleanor Roosevelt
Boom. I have nothing to add, other than preach it woman. Look fear in the face and then you will know how to defeat it.
Vintage Ad in KKK Newspaper
I found this little gem in the microfilm of a KKK newspaper that ran weekly for several years that the Dallas Public Library has. Go ahead, soak it in. This was in the middle of some ads that were essentially just business names and contact information. This one took the chance of being creative, I […]
War of Work Inspiration by Angelou
Hitting a home run at your first at bat is rare. Heck, hitting a home run at all is rare. You have to keep swinging, even if you struck out last time. Now get out there slugger. There’s no crying in baseball (I couldn’t help it).

Their final tally was around 4,000 people. […]
War of Work – Inspiration by Dali
If waiting for the perfect time, thing or action is keeping you in one place, take heart. Perfect isn’t a real thing. Just go for it instead.
Scottish Bookshop makes my day
I don’t know what my favorite bit of this is. The Scottish accents? Rappers delight redone with a literary theme? The clothes? The dance at the end? I think I’m leaning towards the dance at the end by some clearly uncomfortable people who really know how to commit. Best celebration of a Scottish bookstore ever. […]
