Pass the Positivity

Uplift and Inspire

“Pass the Positivity” is a piece to inspire and uplift the present and future generations of this world.

I've been going around asking two questions, “If you could pass one thing along to future generations, what would it be?” and “If you could share one thing with the world, what would it be?”.

How do you answer those questions? Please leave in the comments below. Thanks and keep passin’ it!

How Video Can Inspire

Video’s all the rage

Motion graphics make text and your message come alive. Cisco predicts that by 2020, 82% of all consumer internet traffic will be video.

Ever see videos in your social feeds? There are roughly 8 Billion video views daily on Facebook alone. Video’s eye-catching abilities are through the roof. Say more with less. Who doesn’t like that?
