commisioned

One day when I have money to do something special for myself I am going to commission a special project. It will be personal. It will be inspiring. It will be beautiful.

I struggled with a particularly nasty roommate during my freshman year of college. My mother's advice was to be nasty back, but I am very much my father's daughter. He's a little less aggressive & instead gave me one of the best pieces of advice ever heard -- "You can't win an argument with an ignoramus."

I adore that simple phrase so much & refer back to it all the time, that I would love to have it as a more permanent fixture in my everyday life.

I've seen some inspirational images that would make a perfect home for my father's words of wisdom.
Whether is a mirror or a chalkboard, I would love to hire a calligrapher to bring these words to life & remind me daily that you really can't win an argument with an ignoramus.
