Gracias, Gabriel
Since I was 15, I've spent countless hours reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novels and short stories, and have always looked forward to his next creation. And though I cannot say "unfortunately" (since I was fortunate enough to be seduced and touched by his magical realism), I am truly saddened that there will not be a new Gabriel Garcia Marquez story to enjoy and contemplate.
Words cannot begin to describe the power Gabriel Garcia Marquez possessed as a storyteller. Nor can they convey his incredible imagination or the depths of his empathy when it came to the characters he created and the worlds in which they lived. Suspended by the supernatural and weighted by the hardness of the human condition, each Garcia Marquez story revealed the beauty and despair of life; and they were mesmerizing.
Thank you, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, for sharing your stories with all of us; we are richer and more humbled for them.

Need News???
Get ready for some serious NSA coverage... First Look Media will debut its flagship publication very soon, and its first issues are going to be very Snowden-centric. This should be interesting...
For a taste of FLM's Intercept digimag, click here https://firstlook.org/theintercept/
There are so many new news sites coming online that it's hard to keep up! However, I think this is one to definitely check out as well as the very interesting data journalism/video news site, Vocativ. If Vice, Buzzfeed, and NYT were to have a threesome and spawn a magical offspring, Vocativ would be its name.... Check out their video:
Now, what is Ezra Klein up to with Project X http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/26/5348212/ezra-klein-vox-is-our-next????

A Stylish Conscience - Everlane
It was to my great surprise and good fortune to recently read in the Wall Street Journal about a website called Everlane -- an online fashion house dedicated to designing simple, chic, affordable basics that are produced at top-notch and ethically responsible factories around the world. I think their tag line says it all:
From cotton t-shirts to leather totes, Everlane has designed a truly elegant, slightly edgy, and extremely versatile collection (they remind me of the great French company A.P.C.). I could go on and on about their beautiful materials, their modern silhouettes, their versatile color palette, and their amazing mission, but I wouldn't do them justice...
The only thing I will say is that I'm extremely excited about their new leather wallet collection (leathers sourced in Italy and styles made in Spain), which will launch on September 18th! I love how clean, simple and functional each style is and I am obsessed with their Slim Zip wallet in a burgundy (see above) and dove grey. Though I don't know the price points for this new collection, I believe and hope they will be priced as well as their other products! If so, I have a feeling these gorgeous little leather numbers are going to sell out fast!!!

Giving Back on the Fourth of July
Earlier this week, we learned about 19 specially-trained fire fighters who perished trying to contain a wildfire in Arizona. These young men (average age 22) from the Granite Mountain Hotshot firefighting crew were considered the elites in their field, but they were also fathers, brothers, sons, friends, and guardians of their community.
So as we celebrate the Fourth of July surrounded by friends, family, fireworks, and food, please consider making a donation to the families of the Granite Mountain Hotshot firemen who died this week. Instead of buying some extra/extraneous supplies for a Fourth of July celebration, illegal (or legal) fireworks, sparkles, another bag of potato chips or a six-pack of beer, etc, please consider using that money to help these grieving families. To find ways to help and honor the fallen Hotshots of the Granite Mountain crew, here are two links:
