The Problem With Always Trying To Be “Epic” via @menwithpens
Like James, I too am not a fan of the word “epic.” It’s so overused these days. I do use the term “great” on the C2C, but as you know I don’t mean perfect, or “Super,” when I use the word “great,” I just mean “meaningful” and “purposeful.” To try to be Super all the time is just exhausting and will always end up with you not feeling good enough.

Levi’s “This Is You” Ad via @Levis
This is probably the best commercial I have ever seen. I’m curious who wrote it. It has some great lines in it. (I almost thought it was a “get out the vote” campaign for teenagers.)
Thanks for the mention, Ollin. Chris did do a great job with her coverage of Banned Books Week.
Of course!
Just read that Proof of Heaven article, Ollin. Yeah. I got no words either.
Okay, maybe one. Hope.
I know right? I had my doubts going in, but either this guy is speaking the truth or he is just the most convincing person in the world.
Thanks for the mention, Ollin, and thanks for all the great content on Courage 2 Create as well.
Of course! No prob.
