it doesn't get more American than clearly seeing a vision and setting out to make that vision a reality .. through the long hours, the doubt, the sweat, the stress and the welcome exhilaration when you finally see that dream come to fruition.
it doesn't get more American than standing against the odds and continuing on with your dream..
for that we should salute the folk at FOLK Magazine ..sharing the American story.
i know you have heard of the magazine .. FOLK made its debut in the fall of 2011. i know without a doubt the first image i saw of FOLK had me from the start .. it crept in and warmed my soul on an otherwise dreary fall day ..
(i love that cat!)
i felt a connection, which is what most everyone who have read or thumbed through this magazine have relayed to me .. there is a genuineness to the staff that goes deep .. its about sharing, helping and soothing ..
it's all your creative thoughts on paper and the people there to assure you, you are just as creative as anyone ..
it reminds you it's ok to put peanuts in your coke ..
it's ok to take your shoes off in the company of strangers ..
it's ok to say Yes Ma'am and No Sir ..
it's the sound of a slamming screen door ..
the smell of dill on a summer day ..
the feel of sunlight streaming through the screen on the back porch ..
the wave of a neighbor as he walks past your home ..
FOLK is about US .. You and Me .. share your story.
the kind FOLK at FOLK magazine have presented the chance for you to win a year of FOLK .. to enter this GIVE-A-WAY, just leave a comment here and share the give-a-way with someone ..
I will choose the winner of the years subscription to FOLK Magazine on Wednesday evening Feb 29th .... late .. as I will be setting up at Canton .. come see us ..
Arbor Boardwalk, space # 7 ...
love ya'
Troy

Hi Troy:
ReplyDeleteI love the new header and look of your blog. Beautiful and inspiring as always, my friend.
I'll be the first to leave a comment for your giveaway (before I turn off my computer so I can get ready to head back home to FL from WI tomorrow). Who knows? Number One could be lucky, right?
xoxo

PS I look forward to reading ore of your blog, I just found it!
As a girl who hates to wear shoes and if the cover alone wasn't enough to draw me in ('cause it's gorgeous), your review and description is. Spoken like the true Southern gentleman that you are...make that Texan!
ReplyDeleteThe weather is promising to deliver y'all a good turnout. Sell to the floor!
