The ax may rust, but the legend never dulls. Ever wonder how a larger-than-life lumberjack became an American icon? 🪓🌲 Paul Bunyan's tale originated around campfires in the late 19th century Great Lakes region, where loggers spun tall tales of a giant foreman to distract from their isolation and danger. First appearing in print in 1904, the legend grew over the next decade. Seeing an opportunity, the  Red River Lumber Company hired William Laughead to transform the still obscure logging camp tale into a cultural phenomenon. Laughead created a series of promotional pamphlets featuring Paul Bunyan’s stories. He gave Bunyan's blue ox the name "Babe" 🐂and created the first widely recognized pictorial representation of the legendary lumberjack. Laughead's efforts not only boosted Red River's brand but also shaped Paul Bunyan into the cultural icon we know today. As the legend grew, so did Bunyan's physical presence across America. Giant statues of the lumberjack and his blue ox began to appear in towns from Maine to Minnesota, becoming tourist attractions and symbols of local pride. These colossal monuments further cemented Bunyan's place in the American imagination. As Bunyan’s legend grew tall and wide, Red River staked their claim to their “fakelore” with a trademark. Since then, various businesses have sought to harness the giant’s mystique - plumbing 🚽 to tourism 🏞️, telecommunications 📞to cannabis 🌿. And more than one has flexed the giant’s fabled might  💪 to enforce their marks. From tall tales to retail sales: Paul Bunyan's not alone.

We don't really own that In her beautiful poem, The Moment, Margaret Atwood, contemplates all that has been achieved in life. She reflects that, "The moment when, after many years of hard work and a long voyage you stand in the centre of your room, house, half-acre, square mile, island, country, knowing at last how you got there, and say, I own this..." It is gratifying to think about what we have accomplished, whom we have met, what we have built, and what we "own." Even with that, though, we still spend time trying to find ways to "own" more "stuff". We somehow equate our worth with what we have built or bought—with our money, our time, and our energy. Atwood cautions us, though, that much of this really isn't ours. That, more likely, we belong to the "stuff" we think we own. In our pursuit of success, we have become beholden to the "things" we accumulated. "No, they whisper. You own nothing. You were a visitor, time after time climbing the hill, planting the flag, proclaiming. We never belonged to you. You never found us. It was always the other way round." When we consider how we are using and will use the 4000 weeks we have allocated to us, how do we ensure that we are focused on the important things rather than those to which we may have become slaves? #personaldevelopment #MargaretAtwood HT to Daily Stoic
