"What do our shirts mean to us?" As you may have seen through our social media channels, as well as writing this daily journal, we also design shirts with meaning. I wanted to take a chance here to talk about exactly what these designs mean to us and the reason behind them. I... Continue Reading →
And some nights, my thoughts don't flow out as a blog or an article. Some nights, poetry is all that's in there. These strange times when we're forced in, still finding ways to fight and win. It all seems tough but that's good you see, we grow more in adversity. So hoist the black flag... Continue Reading →
"Are people going to take advantage of the relaxed restrictions and cause a new problem?" We seem to be at a tipping point. The COVID-19 numbers are quite low here in Australia and from my purely non-medical perspective, seem to be under control. The logical next step for a nation in economic struggle is...

Keep seeing it. Keep sharing it. Keep focusing on it. Don't ignore the bad, use it for guidance and knowledge but see the good.
