Take a nibble… now another…
BonBons are very short—just a page or so, but they are long enough to make you think. They make you pause and ponder, maybe even smile. That’s because BonBons do not speak to the intellect as much as to the heart, or to the whole person.
The last chapter of More BonBons is called Bridge Mix. Most of them are shorter than a paragraph—just a quick nibble. But you don’t need much to feel inspired.
Quotes are even shorter – just the right length for a T-shirt
I’ve become a T-shirt designer. Many of the ones I’ve made are for sale on Amazon. Most of them are offered at SeizeTheSparkShirts.com. And many are sprinkled around this website, when they are relevant. If you like reading what I have to say, maybe you’d be interested in wearing it too.
