stillness as remedy

"Sometimes the accomplishment is merely standing still, growing through circumstances, rather than changing the circumstances. This has certainly been the case for me this past year. And though I cannot say the past year was the best ever, I can say I have learned a lot more about myself, my character, my needs, my wants, and what I want my future to be. By standing still in my circumstances, my foundation and understanding of myself has grown stronger." Stacy of la boudoir.

Sometimes standing still is nice.

I want Iceland

Dear Iceland,

Do you need another illustrator to reside upon your icy shores? Please say yes.

Love,

Kiki

my country tis of thee

Today on my way to work I was listening to NPR. They were playing a conversation about Atlanta in 1962. You can listen to it here. Holiday Special: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - A Portrait Of Atlanta In 1962 It's a really interesting look at how people thought about race nearly 50 years ago.

I was also informed that "In 1939 your Great-great Aunt Bernice was living in Washington, D.C., when Marian Anderson sang in front of the Lincoln Memorial because DAR (Daughters of the Revolution) was racist. That moment so affected Bernie that she described it to me in the mid 1960's. We have a long way to go before we gain mutual tolerance. "

I thought that was cool too, so I am posting the performance.
