The Golden Gem of Staying-Power

The Columbus Washboard Company in Logan, Ohio is the last old-timey washboard manufacturer in the country. Founded in 1895, the company still makes 11,000 washboards annually, some still used for laundry; others used to make music.
“The greatest beauty you could clothe yourself with is the golden gem of staying-power. That which has the capacity to endure, persevere, and stay ever faithful to the soul.” - Christine Evangelou, Diamonds Through the Dark
Affirmative prayer: In the spirit of wholeness, I give thanks for the origin and usefulness of my life. I have come into being by sacred invitation, answering the call to be an instrument of Spirit’s givingness. I let God be God in all that I do. Thank you, Infinite Presence, forever. Amen.
