Emphasis

Emphasis

“False eloquence is exaggeration; true eloquence is emphasis.” – William R. Alger Passion is an uncontrollable sensation that stirs inside your soul.  When you’re truly passionate about your beliefs, an interest or a cause, it resides in your bones.  It becomes a reason for living.  At times, it consumes our daily thoughts.

“When everything is moving and shifting, the only way to counteract chaos is stillness. When things feel extraordinary, strive for ordinary. When the surface is wavy, dive deeper for quieter waters.” – Kristin Armstrong Surface was inspired by a combination of opposing elements: disorder and tranquility, both of which meet in the center as an abstract horizon made of possibilities.
