It may be no surprise that you recognize Phillips' iconic style. After all, his art is world-renown for bringing the artistic skate/surf counterculture to the masses, namely his screaming hand.

Nelson Mandela

Today we mourn the loss and celebrate the Life and struggle of Nelson Mandela, civil rights titan and one of the central figures in the fight against South African apartheid. As we remember him today, let us be inspired to be brave and to stand up and speak out for truth and rights - for our own lives and for those who do not have the voice to speak out for themselves. Be strong and wise, my friends!

Winners & Losers

This flyer was posted in one of the cubicles in one of the buildings on the US Air Force Base where I work. The message is quite invigorating, is it not? It really leaves no room for question when it comes down to what it takes to be a winner.

and then I met a man who had no feet."

Diana Nyad Arrives in Key West After 111-Mile Swim From Cuba

On August 31, 2013 Diana Nyad successfully swam 110 miles from Havana, Cuba to Key West, Florida on her 5th attempt and at the age of 64 years. Upon reaching the Florida coast, after a grueling 53 hours of constant swimming, she spoke. And the words resonated with the wisdom of Life.

1. You should never ever give up.
2. You are never too old to chase your dreams.
3. It looks like a solitary sport, but it is a team.

Don't be a slave to your cell phone, or else you make terrible company in the presence of others. Put down your phone and live again!

The Secret Story of TOYS

What would a childhood be without toys?

Did you have a favorite toy growing up? Perhaps a stuffed animal? Doll? Action figure? Ball? For those of us fortunate enough to grow up with toys to play with, we are able to look back on our formative years with a special fondness and sentimental delight. Toys help facilitate that carefree world in our imaginations where we create and play and maybe even destroy...

Unfortunately, there are many children out there who are toyless, and many toys out there who are girl and boy-less. As you know, it takes a village to raise a child. So in a way, we are all responsible for the positive upbringing of our youth. Please consider donating new and/or used toys to a happy child today. It might make a world of difference to a young mind in need of some inspiration. :)

For a place to start, check out Toys for Tots!

Here is a sneak peak into the world of modern day toy-makers. They truly are artists of a childlike imagination.
