Video I Love: Kindness Boomerang

I absolutely love the message of this video, but it’s also cool how they did it all in one long shot.

Quote I Love: This rabble you’re talking about

“Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you’re talking about… they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn’t think so. People were human beings to him.”

-George Bailey, It’s a Wonderful Life

Apology to all Internet Explorer followers

Finally figured out there was something wrong with my blog’s formatting in IE. I’m hoping it’s all fixed now. Sorry if it made commenting or reading difficult for anyone following the blog via Internet Explorer or any other browser that was having issues.

Feel free to let me know if it still doesn’t look right or you are still having any issues.

Thanks,
Sloan
