More than Monday

Theo Jansen's determination and imagination inspires in me a great sense of joy and creativity! I believe in God the Creator and that in the depths of our souls we are destined to create. Without that we deny our very being. For me Theo Jansen's passion to create is a quest we should all strive for. I believe ALL of us are creative in one way or another and we must nurture that side of ourselves to live a spiritual, empathetic and fulfilling life. Can you watch this video without smiling or having your imagination peeked. 


Inspiration comes in different ways on different days for all of us...

...What inspires you?

Fun Facts Friday

Lets get to the "ROOT" of the matter! 

Lots of hair at birth doesn't necessarily mean lots of hair for life and just as a baby born bald can grow a thick full head of hair and keep it into their old age. By the sixth month of pregnancy a baby's hair follicles and the glands in the follicles are fully formed. The follicle glands begin to secrete an oily substance which will help keep the child hair and skin soft. There are about 100,000 hair follicles on the human scalp. Some babies are completely bald even when they hit their first birthdays while others have long thick hair. This is probably because some babies have hair that grows much more slowly than others. It is thought that hormones and heredity influence these hair growth patterns.

INTERESTING TID-BIT:
Although it has not been definitively proven scientists think that the shape of the hair follicle determines if a baby's hair will be straight or curly. Studies have shown people with round follicle have straight hair while those with oval or crescent shaped follicles grow curly or frizzy hair.
