"Going out on a limb, taking the plunge, walking a tightrope... just some of the language we use about taking a chance. A risk. And yet, how much there is to be gained by extending out into the void, and out of our comfort zone?"Hanna writes from personal experience, her participation in the Twin Cities - Chicago AIDS ride, 500 miles in July through the Wisconsin countryside.
"The physical and mental endurance and stamina that this event required took me way out of my comfort zone."
"Since then, I've often recalled the lessons of this experience - learning to accept things as they were, trusting my body, and knowing my limits - to remind myself of my strength, capacity, and humility. Taking on a big challenge, stepping out of my comfort zone, ultimately helps me to take on greater challenges, and keeps me moving towards my goals to make a difference."

Welcome to a Blog. A blog for sketches. Our sketches specifically.Put Inkfinger in your reader!We are Niff and Sutter. Niff, (Jennifer Nicholls) is an illustrator living in Baltimore ( soon to be Philadelphia) and Sutter, (Matt Sutter) is an animator/designer living in Philadelphia. We are looking for a place to get practice and feedback on our daily sketchings. We urge you to take part, and make friends.
If all goes according to plan we will update often. We will try to switch ownership daily, Niff-monday, Sutter-Tuesday, and so on and so forth. Don't worry, it will be brutally obvious whose sketch is whose.
The first pants were designed for women some where in Asia. One theory says they were for women working farms in China, another says they were for women kept in harems. Either way, they are designed for a body with no dangling parts. Why men ever started wearing them makes no sense to me.Good stuff!
Where I live in Kentucky, it is against the local religions for women to wear slacks or cut their hair and for men to have long hair. They don't know why they follow their rules, either.
Aliens haven't contacted us because they're still looking for intelligent life on this planet. So am I.
The next time some guy asks you where all the female bloggers are, tell them What She Said!
"The postings on this site are my own and don’t necessarily represent IBM’s positions, strategies or opinions." A career in corporate Marketing has landed me in a place where I have "drunk the koolaid" and believe that blogging and a lot of the new tools like RSS etc. are going to change the face of marketing. I'm creating this blog to exchange ideas on the new age of marketing.She says of herself:
My career to date has been spent in corporate marketing with corporations from Texas Instruments (Corporate Marcom) and Continental/General Tire (Marketing Manger - Mexico and US Director of Advertising)to IBM where I have been the last 7+ years. I currently work in Corporate Interactive Marketing where I produce the global On Demand Business sites www.ibm.com/ondemand I have also been appointed the Marketing Communications lead across the company on blogging. (Perhaps to keep me so busy that I would stop talking about blogging) but it hasn't worked. I'm more stoked than ever. Outside of work, my passion is my daughter, a poodle and a large garden which may be more obsession than passion. I've been blogging inside IBM and have now decided to try blogging outside. My passion may lie more in corporate blog strategy and producing other's blogs than doing my own... we will seeRead Sher!

Good writing, good art!Jennifer's lifelong passion for art and need for expression have fueled her existence and driven her into a career that has had its share of both joy and torment. From finding sudden inspiration in a shaft of light piercing the smoke of a burnt meal, to the endless nights painting variations on a single brush stroke in an effort to catch the elusive flow and essence of a piece, she knows that the life she has chosen is one of opposite extremes. Indeed, it is a life that has chosen her, no mistake. She can no more deny the spiritual act of painting than she can avoid seeing beauty in her life.
This blog is a way to seek and share inspiration. It is part of her journey.
