Yes, Virginia, there is a Great Pumpkin!

I sketched this idea 3 years ago and I finally got around to finishing it. I adore Halloween in all it's traditions, new traditions, folklore and of course the spooky movies, costumes and candy and don't forget The Great Pumpkin. Even though we do not get a lot of trick or treaters, we still go all out. Why not! We only get to do this once a year. Happy Halloween! 

Lionheart

"Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow."  -Mary Anne Radmacher

They say you can't kill the spirit of the lionhearted and I believe it. It's an unshakable stubbornness to not give in to the craziness that life throws at us. Courage is doing what we must do even if we're afraid to. Sometimes the act of courage is a small step like sharing an idea or using the word no. It can also be the courage to be who you are in a world that wants to change you. Having a kind heart in a harsh world is strength but being kind to yourself is the bravest gesture we can do for ourselves even on the worst of days.

"People are made of flesh and blood and a miracle fiber called courage."  -Mignon McLaughlin

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

May luck be on your side, may the sun shine all day, let your beer be cold and let your mashed potatoes be smooth and creamy. Happy St. Patrick's Day! 

I've had that dream a 1000 times

If you can't stop dreaming about it, don't stop working for it. Ever. 

We dream about many things- money, success, true love and big happiness. Those are great. I also dream of purpose. This purpose includes endless ideas, things to create and work that serves a greater cause than self-interest or to be in a portfolio. 

Narrative inspired by the song A 1000 times by Hamilton Leithauser + Rostom.
