Grace Hopper

Grace Brewster Murray Hopper (née Murray December 9, 1906 – January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist and United States Navyrear admiral.^[1] One of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, she was a pioneer of computer programming who invented one of the first linkers. She popularized the idea of machine-independent programming languages, which led to the development of COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today. She always dreamed of a programming language written in English. 

Prior to joining the Navy, Hopper earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from Yale University and was a professor of mathematics at Vassar College. Hopper attempted to enlist in the Navy during World War II but was rejected because she was 34 years old. She instead joined the Navy Reserves. Hopper began her computing career in 1944 when she worked on the Harvard Mark I team led by Howard H. Aiken. In 1949, she joined the Eckert–Mauchly Computer Corporation and was part of the team that developed the UNIVAC I computer. At Eckert–Mauchly she began developing the compiler. She believed that a programming language based on English was possible. Her compiler converted English terms into machine codeunderstood by computers.

It's much easier to apologize than it is to get permission."

may this dress remind us to follow your heart and intuition . . .

Your time is limited; don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition; they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

- Steve Jobs

(definitely don't be trapped by DOGma!!  love, Scruffy :)

today, let's start doing what we want to do NOW!!!!

Begin doing what you want to do now. 

We are not living in eternity. 

We have only this moment, 

sparkling like a star in our hand-

and melting like a snowflake.

may this dress help us to let go . . .

"Embrace change & enjoy your life as it unfolds. 

The hardest part about growing 

is letting go of what you were used to, 

and moving on with something you’re not. 

Sometimes you have to stop worrying, 

wondering, and doubting, and have faith 

that things will work out. 

Laugh at the confusion, 

live consciously in the moment, 

and enjoy the journey.

You might not end up exactly 

where you intended to go, 

but eventually you will arrive precisely 

where you need to be."

may this dress remind us to LIVE our NOW!!!

“It's being here now that's important. 

There's no past and there's no future. 

Time is a very misleading thing. 

All there is ever, is the now. 

We can gain experience from the past, 

but we can't relive it; 

and we can hope for the future, 

but we don't know if there is one.” 

― George Harrison

May this dress help us to see that we are exactly where we are supposed to be . . .

the time has come! the time is NOW!! 

to abandon the mental monkeys and carpe diem!!!

'wild sweet me' made at VSC, part of my dailydress journal.

“It wasn’t that everything was going my way, 

but I began to believe that the way it was going was perfect. 

I accepted that where I was in life, 

was exactly where I was supposed to be.”

we can hear the small voice

"May this dress give you permission to experience everything!!!

Carpe Diem baby!!!

“Live life fully while you're here. 

Experience everything. 

Take care of yourself and your friends. 

Have fun, be crazy, be weird. 

Go out and screw up! 

You're going to anyway, 

so you might as well enjoy the process. 

Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: 

find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. 

Don't try to be perfect; 

just be an excellent example of being human.” 

― Anthony Robbins
