I’ve got to admit that I have a problem when it comes to looking at design. Whether we are talking about website, brochure layouts, or simple header banners, I can look at great design all day.

I’m currently writing up an exclusives-only newsletter for my website ChurchAndMentalHealth.com and I wanted to give it a different design than my monthly newsletter. I thought ‘maybe a minimalist look’ like it’s an author writing a personal note and so I go looking. Then I love what I am looking at with the variety, to the point I even considered paying for a design.

Two hours later and I still haven’t finished the content of the newsletter because I can’t pick my design yet. My minimalist design is shot… sort of, because I made some custom graphics for the different sections.

But I get so inspired by good digital art that I can’t stop. I drool over what I see and wish I could be as creative as them. Anyways, time for some sleep and wake up early to finish what I started.

But just any old socks would not do and thus born the era of fancy sock-wearing for all work and other professional events. I’m at a point where I love well-fitting, extra comfortable, fancy-designed socks.

In the last three years, I have a set of favorites that I want to share with you in case you want to get your own. I don’t say this in jest. I literally have one supervisee that also does the fancy socks and has asked for a recommendation. Who am I to hide them.

So enjoy the below and if you are feeling it, get yourself a pair. Because you are getting premium socks, do not expect to get the six pack for ten bucks kind of deal.
