In his iconic speech at the Lincoln Memorial for the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, King urged America to “make real the promises of democracy.” King synthesized portions of his earlier speeches to capture both the necessity for change and the potential for hope in American society. I’m sharing this speech because these words should be read by every single human on the planet. I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. [applause] Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed…

Always Creating Blog x Quinn Snacks + Whole Foods
I’m ready to get the party started this holiday season with @quinnsnacks now available @wholefoods. Quinn Snacks sent me three bags: Classic Sea Salt, the Deli Rye Style Rods, and the Touch of Honey, which was my favorite. I just love the balanced taste of sweet and salty! I definitely prefer these to ordinary pretzels and that’s saying a lot because I’m not a pretzel fan. And what’s not to love: Quinn Snacks pretzels are made from whole grain, have great taste, gluten free, and all their pretzels are made from non-GMO Project Verified ingredients, nothing artificial, EVER! In my research, I also learned that Quinn snacks practices sustainability through…
