Two large steel doors—one closed, one open. Caption: When one door closes another opens, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.~Alexander Graham Bell

Thursday Thought #LCPlaunt

LC February 4, 2021 Thursday Thought

I’m often surprised by people who say that something is impossible when other commenters in the same post have already explained how to do it. Be open to new possibilities, and you will be amazed at what is possible.

A quotation in multi-coloured print. Caption: People who don’t know how to do something shouldn’t say it is impossible. They should listen and learn. ~LC Plaunt

Thursday Thought #AmandaGorman

LC January 28, 2021 Thursday Thought

Thursday Thought: Many of you know and love her already. If you don’t, her name is Amanda Gorman. I’ve seen her referred to as Amanda Forman and Amanda Harris, but her name is Amanda Gorman. She has two books coming out in September, a children’s book called Change Sings, and her debut book of poetry, The Hill We Climb, which includes the poem she delivered at the inauguration. If you are in the United States, you can preorder both through Cincy Book Bus (https://bookshop.org/shop/cincybookbus) and all the profits will be used to buy books for classroom libraries and children’s programs that promote literacy. You can follow Cincy Book Bus on Facebook and Instagram (@cincybookbus), and you can order Amanda’s books here:

A woman drawing on an iPad with an Apple pencil. Caption: When I give art lessons, people are always saying, ‘But I can’t draw,’ and I say, ‘What do you mean by that?’ They say, ‘Well, I can’t draw like you.’ And I say, ‘But you’re not me. So why don’t you draw from who you are? Just speak your own voice and enjoy it. Don’t try to be like Damien Hirst or don’t try to be like me. Try to just be who you are.’ ~Charlie Mackesy
