No, everything is not going to be okay
It’s natural to seek reassurance. Most of us want to believe that the choices we make will work out, that everything will be okay.
Artists and those that launch the untested, the new and the emotional (and I’d put marketers into all of these categories) wrestle with this need all the time. How can we proceed knowing that there’s a good chance that our actions will fail, that...

WatchI am SO happy for Matt Morris— a fantastic guy, former Nashvillian, Flo’s once-upon-a-time youth group sponsor and all around sweetie pie. About 4 years ago, he debuted this song at a coffee house in the round with me and Gabe Dixon at Christ Church Episcopal. Fantastic to see things falling right into place.

Maybe There's More
Maybe There’s More
(Sara Beck/Andra Moran)
There’s bread on the table, but I am still hungry
A pocket of money, nothing to give
I’m full of emotion but I feel so empty
Lost in a life that won’t let me live
Maybe it’s a cool breeze
Maybe it’s a warm day
Maybe it’s love running my way
Maybe it’s you, and I can have faith
I can’t say for sure
But maybe there’s more
I’ve got a hand...

Very cool site with all kinds of vintage ads.
So ironic - yesterday I reblogged a cool old ketchup ad, then Stephen posts this link for vintage ads, and I visit and click on “latest” and they’re all Lego ads! What is Andy completely obsessed with? Legos!
He just got all his old Legos from his dad and is missing the engine to his train set. In honor of his...
Bon Voyage!
One of my favorite people in the world is embarking on a 6 month trip around the world via big-ole-ship, and her voyage begins tomorrow. She’ll be stopping in ports in so many countries, I can’t even remember them all! She’s got shots, visas, an international calling plan, and has managed to pack up all of her necessities for now through June into a couple of suitcases. Atta...

Human Nature Cannot Endure Much More!
“The world is too big for us. Too much going on, too many crimes, too much violence and excitement. Try as you will, you get behind in the race, … it’s an incessant strain to keep pace …and still you lose ground. Science empties its discoveries on you so fast that you stagger beneath them in hopeless bewilderment. The political world changes so rapidly you’re out of breath trying to keep...

Beyonce, I’m disappointed in you. You have plenty of coin. Say no to someone who’s used to getting their way. That’s easily more than a million dollars worth of power.

Airline Security Must Protect Rights As Well As... →
How ‘bout instead of full body scanners at airports, we invest that money in educating and hiring really excellent people to work TSA; provide sensitivity training and problem solving strategies. Frequent flier programs could provide hijack intervention training sessions hosted by airlines. I think of our privacy in the hands of the goons I encounter with each visit through TSA at the...
