During WWII, Steinway air-dropped pianos with large parachutes complete w tuning instructions into the battle for the troops to enjoy a bit of reprieve––about 5,000 pianos in total to the US military around the world. They had 4 sons & cousins who served. I like Steinway even more now.

The biggest problem in branding is not the cost or the time, although it requires both. It is not consistent visual branding.

The biggest problem in branding is making Brand happen the way you want it to, & showing up consistently & so effectively that the customer agrees with you.

This is the store where #Cezanne purchased his pastels, La Maison du Pastel, opened in 1720, and is still open to this day––owned by the same family. You can purchase pastels there,
and use the same mediums that Cezanne used himself. THIS BLUE!!!!

"The others, Courbet, Monet, Manet, etc., feel & see as I do, but they have no courage. They paint pictures for the Salon. I however, dare, I dare, I have the courage of my convictions, & he who laughs last, laughs best."

"Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verbs agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love."

"If a man is called 2B a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven & earth will pause 2 say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well." MLK

It's National Poetry At Work Day. IS poetry for work? You bet.

Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs:

The future can be better than the present.

I have the power to make it so.

Thankful for the musical, which brought old musty historical documents and old dusty art forms (Musicals!) to the forefront again—especially for the young.

The first part of any New Year for any entrepreneur is filled with accounting, reconciling, analyzing, and planning. Don't want to brag or anything, but last year, in my graphic design company, we made 6 figures.

We do not know his DOB, so we celebrate his DOD.
George Washington Carver wrote 25K letters in his lifetime. Students called him 'Father' & likened him to Socrates, bcz he never gave them answers. He asked them QUESTIONS & forced his students to find the answers for themselves. THIS is LEADERSHIP.

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Happy New Year!
