An Appreciation for Hats

It looks like I acquired my appreciation for hats from my mom.

Who acquired it from her Mom.

The Chef Hat

Q: According to French tradition, how many pleats should there be in a chefs tall starched white hat?

A: 100 - To represent the number of ways a master chef can prepare eggs.

Wolfgang Puck, not wearing his hat but I'm sure that he can prepare eggs in at least 100 different ways!
I'm not wearing a hat either, and I have to come up with about with about 95 more ways to prepare eggs.
[Does coloring them count?]

"Are You A Princess?"

"Are you a Princess? I said,

and she said I'm much more than a Princess

but you don't have a name for it yet here on earth"

We Share a Love of Hats!

Women Wearing Hats...

"Women wearing hats are at once sophisticated and whimsical. Their faces are younger and softer. They carry themselves differently, daintily, like deer. Their voices flutter a bit...even when they are talking about things like money and power and work...even when it's clear they're very much in charge of their lives"

"Go Ahead and Bloom" A Philosophy

by A. Rose

When you wear a hat, it is medicine for the soul. The hat is the expression of who you are as a woman in every moment! The hat is your dreams of who you can be. It facilitates the different parts of who you are: With a wave of the hat, voila! You are mysterious, no, now proper...now playful.

You cannot hide in a hat; you will be noticed, especially by men. To men, you become a lady when you don a hat...one who they rush to open doors for. To women, you become an inspiration, reminding them that they have a closet full of hats they have not had the courage to wear.

When you wear a hat, you become the dream that started when the hat was conceived. The original energy that was put into the hat doesn't die; it only changes forms and owners. The dream doesn't die; it is passed on, sometimes from generation to generation

And when you see a woman in a hat in the next car on the freeway, the dream grows. We as women acknowledge each other's growth. It is the symbol of the feminine which is so needed for us and our earth to heal. So let's share this gift with as many as we wish to share such a vision. For...this is how you will 'Go Ahead and Bloom'.
