I’ve been trying to look at and listen to a lot of inspiring or hopeful things lately. I’m trying to change myself with a little positivity.
I was so stoked when Postsecret tweeted a link to a reading of “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” done by people at Burning Man.
I’m pretty sure Dr. Seuss is the reason I love my books just so so much. It’s all his fault. So thank you, Theodor Seuss Geisel.
I also thought this story about a sibling standing up for his little brother was inspiring and amazing in so many different ways. Supportive and a little bit world changing. This is what love looks like, I tell you.

That story about the brothers is awesome. :-)
It is hard to unslump and unstick. I had dinner with my parents, and a lot of the conversation was how I need to get unslumped and unstuck. It ain’t easy, Warrior Princess. Good luck.
We need to find that part of the brain that likes to focus on slumping and sticking and just… cut it out. Unslumping and unsticking is a lot harder than a lot of people think! (And everyone has their own way to do it, which makes it even trickier.)
And trying to stay informed about the world while also being a positive thinker… it’s damn near impossible! 95% of the news is horrible, terrible shit!
I really do love that story. It’s about fighting ignorance and about unconditional love. I’m glad the brother learned about it, despite having such a shitty-at-it dad.
I loved “If I ran the circus” by Seuss. I used to daydream about owning a junk yard a lot too. Might be from having a messy room as a kid…
Oh, another of my favorites when I was a kid was “Snow” by PD Eastman. (It wasn’t Dr Seuss, but it had the Cat in the Hat stamp of approval!)
I loved One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. And I remember that There’s a Wocket in my Pocket sort of freaked me out. Haha. Hop on Pop was fun too. :)
If I ever reproduce, I’m buying every. single. Seuss. book. (And Snow because it rocked.)
