Poi Spinner and Fire Dancing Artist Isa “GlitterGirl” Isaacs
Meeting Isa “GlitterGirl” Isaacs came out of a rather serendipitous event. I was sitting at a cafe waiting to go into a yoga class nearby when a guy approached me and asked if he could join me. Assuming I was being hit on and slightly annoyed (yet also a little intrigued by his courageous move), I hesitantly agreed. After a while of surprisingly interesting conversation, I explained how I was looking for inspiring women to feature on my website. He immediately said “I know someone who would be perfect for you.” He was right. I’ve been in awe of Isa Isaacs since first looking over her website. By the time I finally got an interview with her, I was giddy. Let’s just say, it was so good, I decided to create a two-part series. Read more…

Artist Priya Assal Gheysari
I first met Priya Assal at a New Year’s Eve party in San Francisco, 2007. At the time, I noticed all this cool art on the wall but didn’t realize until months later when I was there (for another party), that she was the artist. It was that night that I really took a closer look at the paintings and started to notice some themes I hadn’t noticed before. Most of the paintings (around 20) hanging throughout the house were of powerful female characters. Each one was very unique and had a distinct “personality” but nearly all had one thing in common, one eye open and one eye closed. Read more…
Mother and Simple Living Advocate April Gentile-Mulholland
April Gentile Mulholland and I were good friends in high school. Even as a teenager, April had a strong sense of who she was and what she believed. She had a lot of integrity and I admired that in her. As life often happens, we went our separate ways after high school but I frequently thought about April and wondered what became of her. Well, wouldn’t you know it, thanks to Facebook and a mutual friend, we reconnected last year. It had been 16 years since we last spoke! I was thrilled to be back in touch and not soon after, we made arrangements to meet up at her ranch in Idaho. Read more…
