| The change started around 1960. |
| If you see old newsreel footage of men in the office or on commuter trains from the advent of the motion picture camera to the early ‘60s, nearly everyone is wearing a hat. Hats were just as common for women in that era. For a woman to go out without a hat in the first half of the 20th century was akin to going out without clothes. |
| The funny thing is that everyone’s headgear is so similar in the old-timey footage that it makes previous generations look like big-time conformists. Then, in the early ‘60s, everything changed, and men and women started to go out in public with their hair exposed. Why did such a big aspect of fashion seem to change overnight? |

| “I think that that’s a thing that nobody really talks about.” |
| There are many ways for people with careers to feel validated. You can get a raise, a promotion, a great review from your manager, or a professional award. You can also be someone respected in your profession and a mentor to younger people entering your field. |
| These forms of validation help someone feel valuable and accomplished and are all tangible in some way. You can say, “I’m now the vice president of manufacturing,” “I won the Excellence in Sales Award,” or “I have a larger number on my paycheck.“ |
| Syd, a stay-at-home mom named @eclectivhomeschooling on TikTok, recently shared that, unfortunately, moms who work in the home have a hard time finding that same feeling of validation. |

| “Let’s go all in and fill their visual memory with as much beauty as we can.” |
| “Blink,” a new film by National Geographic Documentary Films shows how a family with four children, three of whom are going blind, embraces life in the face of an uncertain future. It’s a testament to the resilience of the Lemay-Pelletier family but also a reminder for all of us to seize the day because all our futures are uncertain. |

| “We love each other more with each passing day.” |
| People often talk about how difficult relationships can be. When talking about long lasting marriages and relationships, the word “work” comes up quite a bit. It can make it seem like there’s no fun to be had in lasting commitments. After the white dresses, three tiered cake and honeymoon, it’s time to pull on your tall rubber boots to sludge through the mud of a long term relationship. |
| Keith and Linda Waechter have been married for 57 years, and recently, Linda decided to write a letter to their four daughters detailing how they have maintained a loving, happy and healthy marriage. One of their daughters, Leslie Means, shared the letter chalked full of sweet gems to social media in hopes to spread the heartfelt marriage advice. |
