thank you so much – it was a particularly windy day here yesterday and I was sitting in traffic – yes, no surprise there – the leaves were swirling all over the place and i was finding myself mesmerized by them. Isadora came to mind with her flowing scarves.

This is lovely. Thanks for sharing, Not only do i love history of, but the origins and celebrating life and recognizing them. The life of of Isadora is beautiful but her end oh so tragic.
