Iconic Photo: (Challenge 2) Photo 1

I've decided I want to do more than just post a different song vid every day for the next 30-days, so I'm going to post a different iconic photograph of an inspirational woman too. Here's the first.

Elspeth Beard, who was one of the first women to travel the globe by bike--a 1974 R 60/6 BMW
photo circa 1984
total bad ass; read more about her here:

OK, first I am going to admit to skimming the article, because it was long and the dog is bugging the poo out of me BUT DANG! I caught enough to me utterly amazed at her world trek, signing with Vietnamese people, surviving diseases and crashes, and just being all around HARD CORE! Very cool. Two handlebars up. :)

E3P2S: The Blog

Facing life in genuine openness means realizing that as much as we do and must plan for our futures, we cannot know what will be, and thus we do not yet know how to engage in what has not yet come to us. Accepting this means seeing too that life is rich in possibility. "No one knows what the body can do." Embracing such possibility comes with facing the constraints of the life we've both chosen, and simply have, and seeing them as the rich earth across which we may expand our horizons. My writing here is an attempt to consider such richness, and embolden such possibility.

True Love

“When people cease waiting for great leaders or prophets to solve entrenched problems and look, instead, within themselves, trusting their own thinking, believing in their own power, and to their families and communities for solutions, change will follow. In traditional indigenous communities, there is an understanding that our lives play themselves out within a set of reciprocal relationships. If each human being in the world could fully understand that we all are interdependent and responsible for one another, it would save the world.” —Wilma Mankiller
