The cold hard truth is that nobody cares about your excuses. Success doesn’t happen because you’re lucky or because someone handed you a break. It happens because you didn’t quit, period. Rejection isn’t the end, it’s just another step on the way to greatness. Be relentless, be unstoppable, and don’t stop until you win.
Kevin O’Leary
You choose the life you live. If you don’t like it, it’s on you to change it because no one else is going to do it for you.

Go as far as you can see. When you get there you will see how you can go farther.

You were born with the ability to change someone’s life, don’t ever waste it.

The habit of giving only enhances the desire to give.
Walt Whitman – 1819-1892 – Poet and Essayist
Humor and joy contribute to my total well-being.
Louise Hay – 1926-2017 – Author and Publisher

On This Day
1120 – Richard III of Capua is anointed as Prince two weeks before his untimely death.
Richard III (died 10 June 1120) was count of Aversa and prince of Capua briefly in 1120 between his anointing on 27 May and his death; he was the only son and heir of Robert I of Capua. He was an infant when his father died, and he fell under the regency of his uncle, Jordan. Richard III died within a few months and, though no contemporary chronicler blames him, some modern historians have cast doubt on Jordan’s innocence. Jordan did succeed unopposed to the diminished Capuan throne.

From 12pm-3pm come meet and talk with Naomi about her book The Alaska Glacier Dictionary and even get a signed copy!
“The Alaska Glacier Dictionary gives A-Z references to 700 named glaciers in Alaska. It serves as a handy reference for travelers and armchair adventurers alike. The Last Frontier has waited a long time to receive this first-ever dictionary in book form, detailing glaciers in one volume for quick alphabetical reference. A great contribution to Alaska guidebooks and a dramatic read, given the present state of glacial melt. I sat down with it and didn’t get back up again for hours.” – Natasha Omoff, Alaska Travel Guide
Naomi Klouda is a long-time Alaska journalist, author of Anna’s Whale and a diligent researcher who spent many years compiling the glacier entries that went into The Alaska Glacier Dictionary. She lives in Homer.
