I love this... "Let men, true to their natures, cultivate the moral affections, lead manly and independent lives; let them make riches the means and not the end of existence, and we shall hear no more of the commercial spirit. The sea will not stagnate, the earth will be as green as ever, and the air as pure.... — The Writings of Henry David Thoreau: Familiar Letters..."

‎"They have been foolish enough to put at the end of all this earnest the old joke of a diploma. Let every sheep keep but his own skin, I say," Letter to R.W. Emerson, November 14, 1847.

Hi Andrea, one thing I do is a tutorial every morning. Whether it's design, development, Wordpress, SEO, etc., there are a lot of good blogs with excellent e-learning articles and videos. Some of my favorite Wordpress tutorial blogs are:

h...ttp://www.wpbeginner.com/category/wp-tutorials/
http://www.problogdesign.com/
http://www.themelab.com/
http://wpcandy.com/
http://www.wprecipes.com/

If you use Firefox but don't use an RSS reader, I'd recommend subscribing via live bookmarks so whenever you want to learn something you can just click your bookmarks and read the headlines to see if there's something you'd be interested in checking out.See More

Inspiring photographs from Max Stern, photographer and Boston Lawyer. I like what he says here. "... the only thing a photographer adds to reality is a unique point of view - what he or she chooses to shoot, how she situates the lens, or crops the image. One's photographs reflect who he is."
