Traveling the world shows us the beauty of diversity—a lesson Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. championed.

His dream of unity and justice reminds us that no matter where we go, we’re all connected by humanity.

Let’s honor his legacy by seeing the world with open eyes and hearts.

and me on our epic roadtrip just the 2 of us. She was 1 yr Rhodesian Ridgeback.

Cadillac Ranch. Amarillo, Texas.
June, 2010.

Notes:
Standing along Route 66 west of Amarillo, Texas, Cadillac Ranch was invented and built by a group of art-hippies imported from San Francisco.

They called themselves The Ant Farm, and their silent partner was Amarillo billionaire Stanley Marsh 3.

He wanted a piece of public art that would baffle the locals, and the hippies came up with a tribute to the evolution of the Cadillac tail fin.

Ten Caddies were driven into one of Stanley Marsh 3's fields, then half-buried, nose-down, in the dirt (supposedly at the same angle as the Great Pyramid of Giza).

They faced west in a line, from the 1949 Club Sedan to the 1963 Sedan de Ville, their tail fins held high for all to see on the empty Texas panhandle.

Life is about…

going forward.

Working with what you have right now to be better and do better.

We are ALL a “work in progress” and the best we can do is get up each day and make the concerted effort to be a better person than we were yesterday.

My mom showed me that every single day of her life.

July 4, 1776 was not our end, but a path forward over boulders figuring out how to move forward each and every day to a better tomorrow.

What are you working on this month to move yourself forward?
