        When Jaime Moore’s daughter, Emma, turned 5, the Texas mom and photographerset out to commemorate the occasion in pictures. Searching for inspiration online, however, she was dismayed to find the majority of girls at that age dressed up, unrealistically, as fairy-tale princesses. So Jaime decided to raise the bar.

        Mom searched for better role models, and together with Emma selected five real women that a girl can actually aspire to be like. Then, they replicated iconic portraits of those figures — Susan B. Anthony, Coco Chanel, Amelia Earhart, Helen Keller and Jane Goodall.

        The title of the series, “NOT just a girl,” is meant to be an inspirational message for young women seeking to realize their full potential — beyond vague dreams of Disney princesses.

          How to Be Here Now: Go Garden

          harrisonstories:

          George Harrison’s widow, Olivia, takes Dan Pearson around the extraordinary Victorian garden she renovated with the former Beatle: 

          “Olivia explained George’s free approach to the garden as being a way of coping with the events in his life. ‘He preferred not to think too much beyond the here and the now for fear of being overwhelmed by the scale of what lay around him. Gardening was the ideal antidote and the title of his song ‘Be Here Now’ described that perfectly.’ “

          Sounds like I could use some gardening in my life.

                    This Weekend

                    was so intense. 

                    I don’t know how to describe it accurately enough to do it justice, but basically… family reunions have the potential to rock.
