Two Different Colored Shoes Day May 3, 2017

DIANE'S CORNER .... Celebrate Two Different Colored Shoes Day

Have you ever stood in front of your closet, staring at your collection of shoes, and wondered… Which of these are actually appropriate for wear today? The red flats? The white pumps? The lavender cross-trainers? What if you could just wear… whatever caught your eye? Even if it was two different colors? In fact… What if that was actually preferable? Sound like a madcap shoe-color heaven? We certainly think so! Two Different Colored Shoes Day celebrates diversity by wearing shoes of a different color, and as a result it’s an absolute favorite of ours!
Dr Arlene Kaiser created this quirky celebration to laud the diversity and differences that make humans great. Could you imagine how boring the world would be if everyone was homogenous? Just row after row of the same houses, the same clothes, the same people, the same religions and philosophies everywhere you go? Neither could Dr. Kaiser, at least not without cringing. As a small demonstration of her love of differences, she started wearing two different colored shoes two or three times a week.

A simple demonstration, perhaps. But it got people talking, and talking led to awareness, and awareness led to celebration and the creation of this most excellent of holidays! Dr. Arlene Kaiser is a huge proponent of education, and has taught more than 4000 students in her time, showing through doing. “Walking her talk” is central to her philosophy and her approach to the world at large.

She encourages people to be who they are, not to concern themselves with being what society tells them they should be. Diversification and walking your own walk are central to her philosophies, and she hopes to inspire the world in little ways every day.

History

The Old Man of the Mountain Collapses (2003)

Image result for The Old Man of the Mountain Collapses (2003)
The Old Man of the Mountain was an iconic rock formation in the Franconia Notch mountain pass of New Hampshire. Protruding from the side of a cliff, about 1,200 feet (366 m) above a lake, it looked like a craggy, 40-ft (12-m) human face. Years of freezing weather and the feature's already precarious position caused the beloved local symbol and tourist destination to collapse in 2003.

William Motter Inge (1913)

Inge worked as a teacher and newspaper critic before winning recognition as a dramatist. His plays sympathetically portray the aspirations and frustrations of Midwestern small-town life. He first earned notice in 1950 with Come Back, Little Sheba, and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 for Picnic. Several of his works were made into films. By the 1960s, his reputation as a dramatist declined, and he turned to writing novels.

Día de la Santa Cruz

The Day of the Holy Cross, known elsewhere as the Exaltation of the Cross, is an important one throughout Latin AmericaCrosses that are normally found in the churches are repaired and repainted, or carried in procession through the streets. In Venezuela, the celebration is known as Velorio de Cruz. People set up special altars in their homes that include crosses, lighted candles, and images of the saints. Musicians and poets from all over the country come to perform in front of these altars. While playing their instruments, they improvise rhymed couplets and other poetic forms.

If You Were Born Today, May 3

Thoughtful and involved, you express yourself well, possess quiet charm, and easily endear yourself to others. You have an artistic bent that is undeniable, and your creative mind can help bring financial success. You are multi-talented and many of you spread yourself over multiple career paths and hobbies as a result. You expect a lot from yourself, and sometimes too much, which can lead to indecisiveness. Famous people born today: Bing Crosby, Sugar Ray Robinson, James Brown, Mary Astor, Christopher Cross.

one of my favorite sites on the internet is freecycle.org.

logo of The Freecycle Network

freecycle.org is a FREE website you sign up with in the community nearest you. its efforts are
all to connect people looking to get rid of all types of things (appliances, furniture, toys, books, 
bric a brac, etc), with people who need certain items. this international organization keeps 
belongings out of landfills and puts it in the hands of those who truly need or want the items 
you no longer want to keep!

there are only two things to do when it comes to freecycle .. put out emails to the group that 
either OFFER or WANT things. then it's between you two to make arrangements for pick up. 
after that, i always send a thank you note so everyone knows the item is no longer being 
offered.

Teapot Feeder

An old teapot will make a really cute bird feeder. Just attach the teapot to a tree or even the side of your house. You can use this for a feeder or a nester. Birds can get inside and build their nests so that you can see the babies when they are hatched. As a feeder, it works really well and is a really unique idea.
