D106: Do You Ever Feel Like This…

funny-face-thumb

This pretty much sums up how I've been feeling the last few days. Launching a new site, combining two blogs, crafting a new vision for you and me in the future... that's pretty tough work.

One village in Kenya created 13,000 "X" keychains out of leather with the numbers 143 on them in a span of three weeks. They created each … [Read more...]
