This is a great video that I stumbled upon. We rarely hear a model be so honest about beauty and the fashion industry. It is worth the viewing 🙂

Inspiring Women-Γυναικες Που Μας Εμπνεουν
Labelled as the ‘weaker’ sex yet in every women lies an enormous strength. what women endure in their lives around the world is tragic and appalling even in so-called ‘civilised’ societies women are treated differently than men. There is not country that is safe for women. There is always danger and few venture out alone at night in any city. We are weaker because we lack the physical strenght but is it because we are also more sensitive and nurturing than men? Is that being weak? If we all got in touch with feminine power instead of masculine what a different more loving and compassionate world it would be.
This is why I love to hear stories about strong women who try to make a difference and who inspire other. A friend of mine wrote an article about a woman named Kim MacGregor who’s daughter was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. She and her daughter both are spokes people for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation her 12 year old daughter raises money for the foundation by selling her art work.
The video is part of a movement launced by Kim MacGregor. Kim lost her 31 year old friend Erika to colon cancer two years ago. The movement is called ‘I believe she’s amazing’ to honour her friend Erika who had a great impact on her life. For more information about Kim please click on the link below to read the article.
Blind Photography
In this life we are constantly being judged and told by our peers or complete strangers what we can’t or shouldn’t do. We are given limitations and obstacles towards are goals. We become negative and fear that we are not good enough. Sometimes we inflict the negativity and fear on ourselves. This happens when we have very little confidence in ourselves and when we undermine our abilities. Everyone has the ability to do something great and extraordinary, but only if we let go of negativity and do things a bit different from the majority.
I would recommend for anyone who doubts themselves and their abilities to watch the above video. It is truly inspirational and features a photographer named Pete Eckert. He is blind-yes blind! Being blind does not mean that a person cannot be visual. He uses his heightened sense of sound to help him with his photography.
“Sound gives an image, just like light gives an image’ he says in the video. He won the Artists Wanted Exposure 2008 competition and his work has been shown in exhibitions. He was featured in Time Magazine and he is in a documentary on the American channel HBO.
