    Our theme of the week is “The 20s”, referencing both the 1920s and twenty-somethings. When thinking of the 1920s, its hard not to think of the women’s suffrage movement in America. The movement eventually led to the 19th amendment, giving women the right to vote. Most of you reading this are twenty-somethings who have already witnessed Barack Obama’s historic win, and exercised your right to vote a couple of times. After four more years, its not so far fetched to think that a woman could be our Commander in Chief. In a CNN Opinion piece titled “President Hillary Clinton? If she wants it”, David Rothkopf predicts that to be true and that woman to be Hillary Clinton.

  • Is Technology To Blame for Our “Creativity Crisis”?

    Posted in: Life, Life Architect, Young Entrepreneurs

    creativity crisis

    A  Newsweek article titled “The Creativity Crisis” reported that creativity has declined in children since 1980. We often look at the development of technology to showcase how progressive our culture has become. But is technology breeding more fans than innovators? It seems as if the majority of our culture is waiting for the next best thing instead of creating it. In terms of social media, we’ve accepted being a culture of ‘followers’.

  • Sugar N’ Spice

    sugar and spice

    by Sylvia Ford-George

    Honestly, after growing up as a girl, would you really want to be a boy? Girls are sugar ‘n spice and everything nice. We are better organized, better communicators, and we smell better. We are softer, curvier, bouncier, sweeter, gentler and stronger. (You know boys can’t handle a cold much less cramps and bleeding every month; and they’d never be able to handle childbirth!)

  • Combating The Influence of Media on Women’s Self Esteem

    Posted in: Life, Life Architect, Self-Improvement

    improving self esteem

    Scientists say that at least half of your personality comes from your gene pool and the other half comes from life experiences. How you were raised, your experiences in school, and even your interests shape your personality. And for many women, the influences of media may effect their personalities, in particularly their self esteem.

  • Life Isn’t What You’re Waiting For. It’s What You Have Now!

    its time

    Have you ever heard someone say, “I can’t wait for my life to begin”? What they are referring to is the moment that their dream begins. As dreamers, we often overlook the fact that everything that we need to get to the moment we’re living our dream, is being collected all the days that you aren’t living your dream.

  • Wanted: Girl Power!

    beyonce girl power

    by Sylvia Ford George

    Within every little girl there’s a desire to be something big, bold, strong and brave.

     

    When I was a young girl, I read a comic strip I know I’ll never forget. It was a little girl and boy. The little boy said, “I bet you don’t have one of these,” and pulled out his genitals. The little girl showed him “hers” and replied, “I don’t need one of those. With this I can have as many of those as I want.” I remember thinking, “is that what makes women powerful?”

  • Getting To Your Best

    Posted in: Life, Life Architect, What Aunt Sylvia Had To Say

    be your best self

    by Sylvia Ford-George

    Once upon a time I had a job where one of my tasks was copywriter. A co-worker and I would provide the first edit to each other’s work, and an editor would make the final cut. Our goal was to get to the point where our documents were editor-proof, meaning they would be so near perfect the editor would have nothing to correct. In order to make this happen we had to be very critical in our editing. We’d discuss the edits; make sure our wording was clear (don’t say “overcooked” when you really mean “cooked too much”); and checked for commonly misused and misspelled words and phrases.

  • Love Will Make You Sparkle

    love will make you sparkle

    by Sylvia Ford-George

    I watched the movie Sparkle over the holidays. I admit the movie was a bit slow. But the fashions were very retro and to die for. The cast was full of very beautiful people. The music was slammin’. And the family and personal relationships explored, covered the gamut of what it is women strive for—or not. The song Love Will struck a chord and made me think. “What will love do for us this coming year, and what will we do for love?”
