All things fascinating, beautiful, and wondrous are discussed on Dominique Browning’s blog Slow Love Life.  We follow it religiously here at TWE, wondering what special photos and subject matter Dominique will turn up next.

She is a well-respected writer and was Editor-in-Chief of one of our favorite magazines, House & Garden.  Unfortunately, it ceased publication overnight in 2007, and she lost her job.

“The idea of Slow Love is just taking and giving ourselves permission to take a little time every day to feed our soul.”    Dominique Browning

Dominique decided to write all about it in a very candid and amusing book called Slow Love: How I Lost My Job Put On My Pajamas and Found Happiness .  We couldn’t wait to talk to her about her concept of Slow Love and her new project, Moms Clean Air Force.

Here are is an excerpt from Stacey Gualandi’s radio interview with Dominique along with some inspiring photos from her blog…   Continue reading

One day, filled with low self-esteem and a negative inner voice that wouldn’t shut up, Caitlin Boyle did something crazy.  She wrote “you are beautiful” on a note, posted it on a public restroom mirror, and took a picture of it.  That day, Operation Beautiful was born.

“I’ve really begun to understand so much through Operation Beautiful, that so much of life is how you react to things. ”  Caitlin Boyle

Now, the 27-year-old award-winning blogger, runner, and soon-to-be mom, is the woman behind a movement to end negative self-talk.   All you have to do is write a positive note and post it in a public place for other people to find.  It’s as simple as that.

In just three short years, Caitlin has created a website, her first book Operation Beautiful: Transforming the Way You See Yourself One Post-it Note at a Time and a sequel due out this summer. It’s amazing what a difference a few kind words can make.

I spoke with Caitlin about what first prompted her to post, her impact around the world and her plans for the future.   Guess what?  She’s not done yet making us believe WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL.   Continue reading

Anne Rice is the international best-selling author of over 30 books, and unless you’ve been living under a coffin, she is best known for The Vampire Chronicles, including Interview with the Vampire which became a blockbuster movie.

“All you can do is write the books that you love and that you want to read, throw it out there and hope other people will get it.”  Anne Rice

Anne has sold over a whopping one hundred million books in her career. At 70, she now has a new novel out, The Wolf Gift, a twist on the traditional wolfman theme.  Now Anne’s life has always been an open book, so I really wanted to find out what’s going on in her latest chapter. 

I spoke with the doyenne of the dark arts for The Women’s Eye Radio Show while she was on her book tour.  Here is an excerpt from that interview…  Continue reading
