Sand perspectiveAny guesses what this is a picture of?

Mountain Life Lensesâ„¢ may have trouble guessing because their view is up & out – far & wide.

Carrot Life Lenses™ on the other hand, are good at detail.  Their focus is down, sharp, precise.

My mother-in-law sent me these logos by email, which I credit here for the source.  My favourite is the Pittsburgh zoo & aquarium (likely because I live in Africa).

They’re a great example of the value of taking a second look (or third, or fourth…).

Take a look & uncover a new perspective.

View from a goddess

March 6th, 2014

F Scott Fitzgerald woman quote
I am celebrating 7 years of monthly gatherings with a small, eclectic group of wonderful women.  We call ourselves the goddesses.  We started meeting because I put out the call.  I’d had enough of not seeing my dear friends.   They responded.  And have kept responding for 7 years now.

I’m celebrating our commitment to each other, to the power of women & to the bonds of love & friendship.

I’m celebrating the perspective that 7 years brings – of love found, of love lost, of births, of deaths, of separation, marriage & divorce, of child-rearing going smoothly & going sideways, of sweet highs & sorrowful lows & everything in between.

As Maya Angelou says they ‘make me proud to spell my name W O M A N.’

In honour of all we’ve done together, all the witnessing, support, tears & laughter I am sharing this BBC film on goddesses (truth be told I’ve only just started watching it but it looks great).

Enjoy the perspective women & history bring.

Dog poop perspective

February 27th, 2014

Dog poopThis funny perspective came to me from my dear friend & uber dog lover Roman.

There’s always more than one way to look at the same situation.

Goes to show that grammar rules & dogs do more than drool.
