Shame weakens us. It can make us frightened to take on something new. We start to withdraw from whatever might give us pleasure, self-esteem, or a sense of our value. Comedian and activist Margaret Cho describes its effect: 'When you don't have self-esteem you will hesitate before you do anything in your life. You will hesitate to go for the job you really wanna go for, you will hesitate to ask for a raise...you will hesitate to report a rape, you will hesitate to defend yourself when you are discriminated against...You will hesitate to vote, you will hesitate to dream. For us to have self-esteem is truly an act of revolution and our revolution is long overdue.'

It’s FRIDAAAAY!!! It’s also the second weekend of December…finished shopping yet? NO?!! Well have I got the answer for you friend! Step on up (or down), to Gallery1988, and check-out (see what I did there…well you will), their new show debuting tonight in celebration of the Los Angeles Public Library, and it’s 150th Anniversary. Now I won’t bore you with details about it’s founding in 1872 on Temple & Main in Downey California, or how vast it’s collection is. No, no. Why would I when you can purchase one of these lovely LIMITED EDITION (of 150) pins dedicated to this inspirational powerhouse? In addition to the nifty antique silver keepsake (courtesy of Alchemy Merch), you will also be receiving (with purchase), a goldmine of a backer complete with LAPL’s history! Head on over to the gallery, or their website, and check-in before all these gems get checked-out! 😉 #LosAngeles #LosAngelesPublicLibrary #LAPL #California #Downey #150th #anniversary #Library #Book #books #reading #read #fiction #nonfiction #novel #learn #learning #art #artist #illustration #illustrator #design #designer #librarycard #librarian #typography #font #lettering #checkin #checkout @galleries1988 @lapubliclibrary @alchemy.merch (at Gallery 1988: LA) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl9G9YKpLAa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I just learned about DBT and I’m surprised given my age and obsession with self-help and growth. I am very much enjoying this book.  It’s driving me crazy that I can’t remember who recommended it or how I found out about it.
