This is the beauty In Life

Though I have a passion for the aesthetic beauty in this world, it simply pails in comparison to the beauty of the message of this man: Randy Pausch. He is a husband, he is a father and he is a man dying from cancer. He has just 3-6 months left to live and this is the last lecture he gave as a Professor at Carnegie Mellon University. It’s a truly refreshing message; like taking the first breath after you almost drown. Listen carefully friends, this is beauty for your soul.

ConKerr Cancer Rocks!


Well, as I said, this blog isn't just about fashion and design, but about beauty and life also and I think that the organization ConKerr Cancer is truly something beautiful that has come about as a result of life. Cindy Kerr son’s was diagnosed with cancer when he was just 12 and as a result, he began to undergo chemotherapy. Out of a need to make her son more comfortable while he stayed in the hospital, Cindy made him a colorful pillow case to comfort him. This idea took off and grew and now Cindy and her friends have made and donated more that 18,000 pillow cases to children who suffer from cancer.

For me, it’s the brave people like Cindy and her son who make the world go ‘round, and anything I can do to promote this kind of beauty is truly my honor! You can visit Cindy’s site at www.conkerrcancer.org.
