Quotes on my Desk
December 30 2011, 12:00 pm | Blake Hudspeth
Whenever I come across a quote, idea or verse that captures my attention and impacts my way of thinking, it makes its way to my desk. Like most people, wisdom tends to leak out of my brain unless there’s a reminder right in front of me; so I put it on display in my office.

What Matters Most?

These are my thoughts. I scurry under the ground, pop my head out, look around, then rush down another tunnel and come out again before you can say “razzle dazzle”.

So thanks for letting me share those thoughts with you…I applaud your astute, blog-supporting readertude.
