Memes: 

  • Esi Mathis' Original Quote Meme - "I was lying in bed and I just, I heard this... And I think maybe a year or so ago,  one day I just decided, 'Oh, let me post this online.' I'm not a big online presence. I don't post every day or even every week, but I try to post when I have something meaningful to share or something positive to put out there, in the atmosphere for people or something encouraging. I enjoy encouraging people... I think typically when we hear the word invest... typically we think of money. Like, oh, yep. 'Where's your investment? What are you invested in?' We think of money. We think of gold stocks, bonds, all the things that have to do with monetary value. But none of that was on my mind when the quote came to me and thank you, Taran, because it never occurred to me to attach my name to it. I had never heard anyone say it before. So as far as I know, it's an original... I don't have evidence to tell me anything to the contrary, but since that came to me, it regularly just rises up in my thought process when I'm doing other things and, for me, investing in what we value crosses all aspects of life."
