Another great title for this post would be "FREEDOM!" Dave Ramsey was right, when people get intentional, it usually takes LESS than ten years to pay of the mortgage. In our case it took seven.
We became 100% debt free today. The gratitude and optimism we feel is indescribable. I'm ready to see what we get to do next!
Adam took us to a local speedway where we discovered our age. The ADD in me loves speed, but I never guessed this would make us motion sick. Also, consuming dinner before a race caused a little bit of reverse peristalsis while whipping around the race track. Yum.
We raced twice and that was PLENTY. We were both nauseous when we left and had to drive carefully home on the very straight freeways of Texas. A date to remember!
Happy Independence Day! We did almost nothing to celebrate except spend time together. But we DID get my giant flag hung and ate red and blue for dinner (waffles with blueberries and strawberries.) I am forever grateful we get to live in this country with so many freedoms we enjoy and the ultimate sacrifices that made it so.
This exhibition is from an anonymous collective, Guerrilla Girls, established in 1985. Here, at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, there are 25 copies of printed posters from Portfolio Compleat 1985–2012 with upgrade 2012–2016, (1985–2016).
I found it eye opening, a bit upsetting (naturally), and very interesting. I'm glad there were and are people who feel strongly enough about these issues to make noise about it.
Are we where we should be? Absolutely not.
Are some of these numbers skewed due to lower numbers of women who were professional artists throughout old and recent history?
Probably. But it's doesn't diminish their point in any way.
Worth a think.
