That was an unexpected question, the answer to which was it didn't occur to me. But it sure was an idea whose time has come, and I'm really grateful for the suggestion. So, this year's quotes come from Abiding Blog articles. Plus the usual baker's dozen for Baha'i events, focusing on the Writings of the Bab and with a nod to the 12 Steps. Feel free to copy/paste any images anywhere. Your social media, emails, a card, poster, T-shirt, whatever. But just for your personal use, not $-making. Please don't crop credit lines. Do use hashtags. Feel free to email me to request a high-reolution copy of any image(s) on this page. And enjoy!

![[Silent scream at the lady who'd sped up behind me, laid hold of my locs without a by-your-leave or any warning whatsoever, and then berated ME 'cuz she only wanted to feel what they were like and now she's got some kind of stuff all over her hand.] Get OFF! I ain't your touchy-feely petting-zoo exhibit. Or your animate good-luck charm (name notwithstanding). Or even your obligatory educator in all things black(ish).
