My credit for this guy is a bit overdue (since the article was posted in April 2014). This man is beyond an inspiration; he undertook something he knew absolutely nothing about and revolutionized a product for women in dire need. To be as determined and diligent as he was in this, “he nearly lost his family, his money and his place in society.”
I cannot speak for us all, but I’d say it’s a mighty fine day when a man (your own husband, nonetheless) is willing to go to these lengths to improve your life and health, and ends up a revolutionary. I have to add that since he is uneducated, “He says he is not working brain to brain but heart to heart.” Pure Awesome.
(Goes far beyond picking up tampons at the store for your lady, no?)
Usually when I’ve assembled IKEA furniture I’ve only had the ‘normal’ amount of spare parts left over. Not sure if this bed is IKEA, but the parts left over are a bit excessive, though that’s just my opinion. Hope his dad survives!
As I sit brainstorming and working in this so-labelled dreary “polar-vortex” weather, I have TEDTalks running in the background. This one in particular by Stefan Sagmeister steadily gained all of my attention. Very interesting how he runs his business, and I also enjoy/agree with his view on integrating retirement years into working years. Click the image below to watch, or listen, and perhaps gain some inspiration as I did.
As I finished finals, I am burned-out, but smiling. Here is an artist that came across my way, Berndnaut Smilde, a cloud-creator, rainbow-maker of the real-ist kind (click the pic):
Be sure to check out the “installation” that was done in Ireland (should be #11 under his works category); I love it for being in two places at one time…. “spaces that exist to be in between” : )
