Bonnie Dahan and I are part of a trio of pals that have dinner once a month and have, for 21 years. She is cofounder and creative genius behind Viva Terra, an advocate for all things green, recycled and organic. I applauded when I finished the March issue of House Beautiful tonight and discovered that she had "The Last Word" on page 132. Bravo Bonnie!

Ric Fink Yes, Bonnie Dahan is an impressive entrepreneur, and her latest business VivaTerra is well worth a visit and some time.

How many people do you know who have had this experience? On a Turkish boat trip, the captain weighs anchor and pulls up a bag of sponges from a sponge fisherman you just met, who has attached a note saying “For Amanda.” That’s what happened to my photographer friend Amanda Jones, who writes about it in the March issue of Islands Magazine.

Just ran into Heidi Kühn who's newly back from Israel and the Palestine Occupied Territory where she opened an office in Ramallah for Roots of Peace—the NGO she founded, met with Abbas and Netanyahu, and poised her organization to substitute land mines for vinyards in Bethlehem. Bravo, Heidi!

If you live in the United States, you'll have fun with this test, which identifies (strangely, miraculously) your regional accent. It defined mine (which I thought I didn't have) correctly: I come from the middle of the country. Try it!
What Kind of American Accent Do You Have? by Xavier Kun
lewrockwell.com
To most Americans, an accent is something that only other people have, those other people usually being in New York, Boston, and the South. And of those other people, half of the ones you meet will swear they "don't have an accent."

Explore The International Museum of Women's newly-launched exhibit, MAMA! It's full of provocative ideas and images, surprising perspectives and glimpses of women's views from around the world. It is both international and intimate. You'll find an essay from Kavita Ramdas (who wrote the Foreword for Women Who Light the Dark) and even a little photo of my mother in the 1920's. Bravo, IMOW, for this important exhibit!

My friend Jonathan Lewis is piloting his new video series, iOnPoverty, which features interviews with social entrepreneurs. He'd especially appreciate feedback from people in their 20's...but all comments are welcome. Check out the sneak-previews and let him know what you think!

A year ago the Obama administration directed the US State Department and USAID to take gender into account in all US diplomacy and development programs worldwide. Click here to read an article by Seema Jalan, Director of Global Development Policy for Women Thrive, which evaluates progress so far. I was honored that she used one of my photos!
