Maybelline New York is really making the right moves. They’ve cornered the market on cool. I love this video and I am far from being a fashion insider (I knew who Cory Kennedy and Betsy Johnson were and that was it). The tone is cute and light-hearted and it seems like everyone involved is having a good time.

This is so moving. Every woman - especially young women and girls - should watch, watch, watch. The articulateness with which these women describe their lives and experiences is a testament to courage and conviction. Let’s all remember women are the great communicators, the great collaborators, the great change agents of the culture. These women embody those qualities. Hearing from them IN THEIR OWN VOICE is priceless.

This is a beautiful idea well-executed by one of NYC’s greatest treasures: The Rubin Museum. It’s so good for adults to remember to nurture their dreams…and be open to such experiences. I’m going if they do it again this year!

Ina May talked last night about the critical importance of dispelling fear during labor. She described the first birth she ever saw and how the woman in labor looked “ravishing” because she was being transported…”to another dimension.” On getting to this place she said: “You must be in a state of grace to receive grace.”

I learned more about Shakespeare from this ten minute video than I did in a whole semester in college.

I have spring fever. I spend the whole year walking through the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and love this period when winter is giving over to spring. Today I felt antsy for the cherry blossoms and found this beautiful video on the BBG website. Enjoy the passing of time, weather, and people.

I just learned about the Right Livelihood Award, which is sometimes described as the “alternative Nobel Prize.” According to their website, it is “widely recognized as the world’s premier award for personal courage and social transformation.” I was thrilled to learn one of my heroes, Ina May Gaskin, won the prize last year. Ina May is the world’s most famous midwife and the leading proponent of natural childbirth in the world. Her work is so critical now. She lives her life and reaches women in a way that is both instructive and inspiring. She is…soulful. Ina May is speaking at the 92nd Street Y on March 19. I’ll be there. If you are pregnant, thinking about being pregnant, or interested in natural parenting, you’d get a lot out of attending.
