The Reconstructionists

Equals Record

We’re thrilled today to share an interview with Lisa Congdon about her project The Reconstructionists. To say we’re big fans would be an understatement. Her work is consistently gorgeous, and this project is no exception.  Every Monday, The Reconstructionists showcases a woman who made history or helped shape our world (Maria Popova does the writing, [...] May 1, 2013

Umm Kulthum: Singer of a Nation, Star of the East

Umm Kulthum: Singer of a Nation, Star of the East

Liz Matsushita

I was thinking today—if the U.S. had a “national singer,” who would it be? You know, someone iconic and quintessentially American and a part of our history? Though I don’t particularly care for either, my mind went first to Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. They conjure images of America’s golden age of rock and roll [...] May 1, 2013

Be Boundless.

Be Boundless.

Samantha Shorey

In college I took an art class and the first thing we did was tape off a square in the center of the paper. This was the space where we would draw the vase sitting on a stool in front of the classroom. We drew on a bright white sheet with a rough matte surface, [...] Apr 30, 2013

Meet the Local: Lisbon, Portugal

Liz Moody

Meet the Local is a series designed to uncover the differences (and similarities) in how we think and live in different parts of the world.  Over the upcoming months, I’ll ask locals from places all over the world the same set of getting-to-know-you questions.  This week, we meet Jose, a former teacher who is making [...] Apr 30, 2013

XXXIV. Normandie

XXXIV. Normandie

Liv Combe

Pauline, Roger, Clémence, Praline—le chien—and I pile into the car and off we go on a road trip to see the Mont Saint-Michel, one of the most-recognized and most-visited tourist spots in all of France. The Mont is an abbey on an island just half a mile or so off of the coastline. When the [...] Apr 29, 2013

What Happens in the Margins

What Happens in the Margins

Lisa Sanchez

For those of us who are planners, it can take a lot of restraint not to plan our days and lives down to the very second, so that nothing is (theoretically) left to chance. Of course, planning helps us make sense of where we’re headed and how we’d like to get there. It can help [...] Apr 29, 2013

Healing: A Sense of Community

Healing: A Sense of Community

Katherine

A new sense of community emerged this week in Boston. Last Monday we watched in fear as tragedy marred one of the most beautiful, treasured days of the year in our city. We held on through an anxiety-ridden week, hugging our friends a bit tighter and smiling warmly at strangers. Friday night closed with the [...] Apr 26, 2013

Fifty Shades of Yay

Sibyl

Dear Sibyl, I have a wonderful husband of 10 years and we have a good sex life.  Often, I need a little help to get me in the mood, my choice is romance novels.  Is this normal?  Should my husband take offense?  He’s never complained, but I just hope I’m not hurting his feelings. Thank [...] Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger... Apr 26, 2013
