may this dress bring peace . . . . world peace ~

. . . so that we can stop making veterans
 and we can just celebrate them!!

It isn't enough to talk about peace. 
One must believe in it. 
And it isn't enough to believe in it. 
One must work at it.

This is an exquisite blog, below is its description by the artist Lisa Congdon:

"The Reconstructionists — a yearlong celebration of remarkable women who have changed the way we see the world. Every Monday in 2013, project collaborator Maria Popova and I will publish an illustrated portrait (by me) of one trailblazing woman (artist, scientist, writer), along with a hand-lettered quote that captures her spirit and a short micro-essay (by Maria) about her life and legacy. The project is housed on its own blog. - See more at: http://lisacongdon.com/blog/2013/01/page/2/#sthash.9vtN6LHG.dpuf

may this dress bring you amazing strength . . .


for all of us who are facing battles, 
be them in mind, body, heart, or wallet ~
may today we feel strength in our journey, 
buoyed by our communities of friends & family! 
peace

We gain strength, and courage, 
and confidence by each experience 
in which we really stop 
to look fear in the face... 
we must do that which we think we cannot.

Eleanor Roosevelt
