According to USA TODAY, 'New books channel Coco Chanel'.
After watching a film on her life I could only imagine the impact books will have on the readers young and old. "Dead 38 years, Coco Chanel may be more influential in contemporary popular culture than rival designers still very much alive, at least judging from bookshelves and movie screens."
Coco Chanel inspires me today. This woman had a vision worked toward making it a reality. Today, it is hard to find real authentic originality. At times, I wish I could go back in time to pick the brains of people like Coco and ask them "How?" and "Why?"
Too often I look at the times we live and find us at a stand still. I miss those times when the country was on fire with new fashion, technology and educational ideals. I guess this is apart of the process until the next 'new thing' emerges on the scene.
More importantly, I wonder what my role will be in the Library and Information Science field. What can I contribute to a discipline 'beyond original set boundaries' . I know with time it will come, but I know from watching Coco Chanel, that it begins with a vision, belief in yourself and of course failure.
Coco oh so eloquently, displays faillure as an out of place inseam in need of a needle and thread- simple. All you need in life is a vision that supports a people in need and a team that believes in you.
I do not know what my calling is within the field of Library and Information science, but I do know I am willing to discover it along my educational journey.
Peace and Blessings
