2011 Image for New Year

As 2011 begins, it’s worth taking a moment to reflect on some of the ideas and words of wisdom from our EYE Interviews and the women who were kind enough to share their views during the past months. You may find inspiration or food for thought here for the New Year…

Vendela VidaVendela Vida—

“After we left the realm of school, we missed the constant conversations about literature. Starting ‘The Believer’ was a way to continue to have those conversations–both with each other, and with our writers and readers–about books old and new, and about artists and thinkers…”

 

 

Sally DominguezSally Dominguez—

“I never set out intentionally to be an inventor, but I have a constant curiosity about why things are the way they are. I’m always seeing unconventional solutions to everyday problems…The excitement and ability to change ways people live inspires me.”

 

Sandy Foster

Sandy Foster—

“It’s a balm for the spirit to have a place where I’m free to do what I want, like a tree house you run to as a kid and pull up the ladder once inside. Any able-bodied person can build their own sanctuary, providing they have the location, money, time, and tools to do it.”

 

 

Shannon HayesShannon Hayes—

“I remember one bright, clear August day, standing on a ladder painting the top of someone’s pergola, marveling that I was a newly minted ‘Dr. Hayes,’ and while my grad school peers were settling into their new offices, I was out under a cloudless blue sky, painting for $10/hr. I decided that I had the better deal.”

 

 

Cynthia AguilarCynthia Aquilar—

“‘KEEP PADDLIN’ !!! Never stop! When things are going bad, there’s something good to come. It’s all about how you handle it. That’s what makes you.”

 

More reflections to come another day…

Previous Post: «Pink is back, even pink bathrooms, and they are more popular than ever. An article by Kate Murphy in the New York Times features Nancy Burns from Fairfax , Virginia, above, who has pink poodle decorations on her shower curtain, a pink scale, and matching pink toilet and tub. Mamie Eisenhower is said to have started the trend back in the fifties with her love of pink. She decorated the White House with the color, so much so it became known as "the Pink Palace." Since pink was her favorite, she wore a pink gown to her husband's inauguration. It was decorated with 2,000 pink rhinestones of course. Ike is said to have sent her pink flowers every morning. You have to check out savethepinkbathrooms.com by Pam Kueber, the publisher of RetroRenovation.com. It includes everything you ever wanted to know about the Save the Pink Bathroom movement and all those Pink Patriots who love it. And you'll want to take the Pink Pledge. My favorite pink item is a Royal Typewriter that I have stashed away which was a present from my dad when I turned 16. Who can ever part with something as fabulous as this? ______________________________________ If you're in the need of gift wrapping ideas, turn to the San Francisco Chronicle and a wonderful article by Steve Rubenstein on Megumi Inouye, the world's second-best wrapper, a title won at a contest in New York. Not only does she do an incredible job wrapping, but she says in the article that she can wrap anything. To test her skills, the Chronicle gave her three unusual objects to wrap: a hacksaw, a jump rope and a banjo. Using found objects like the cardboard tube left over from toilet paper as wrapping paper is one of her trademarks. Check out the Chronicle for how Megumi wrapped the hacksaw and the jump rope. You'll see the banjo here. And below, an incredible wreath she made from those tubes. What a talent this woman has! Credit for the photos goes to Liz Hafalia and Russell Yip and kudos to the Chronicle for the article. THINK PINK

Inspiration

Many times it takes enormous determination and courage in the face of fear and uncertainty. Leading is about passion. Stand up and do it if something needs changing.
