Today I will tell you a story about a woman who helped shape the world in a very unique way. With the New York Fashion Week just having passed and the Fashion Week in Paris coming up by the end of September, I think this is just the time for some style talk here on [...]

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, the 32nd first lady of the United States, is one of the most respected First Ladies of our country. Eleanor is remembered for her political views and her humanitarianism efforts, and she supported her sickly husband throughout his political career – becoming his eyes, ears, and legs. After the death of her [...]

These days, finding like-minded friends is never a problem. You have your close circle of friends and your work buddies and clients. And because of the internet, you can meet a variety of people all over the world. I have been lucky to have found some of these friends.
I have a muse. My muse is [...]

I would like to share with you the incredible life story of Rita Levi-Montalcini. Rita recently celebrated her 100th birthday on April 22, 2009.

Have you ever wanted to do something just for the hell of it? In college, I was more prone to do something out of the ordinary with my friends. Unplanned destinations by car or by plane. We thought we were so cool because we had gotten back on time to make it to class on [...]

Nellie was one of America’s first investigative reporters, an activist for women’s rights, and focused on making better conditions in the work place.
