march 2

keep calm and carry on. this slogan and graphic element was first created in london at the onset of world war ii and was meant to help maintain order and routine amongst the people in london.

this graphic image has resurfaced over the past couple of years and is quite fitting during these difficult times. lately i've seen it posted in homes, at work, in magazines, and in this case a storefront window.

i love it because whether it's a recession, lay-offs, breast cancer or just an all around crap day this sign quickly grounds you and gives you perspective and the gentle optimism to know that this too shall pass.

keep that in your back pocket for next time you need to talk yourself out of a panic attack.
