Dr. Hawa Abdi is a Sudanese OB-GYN who is also a lawyer, and she is running a hospital and refugee camp for those displaced by the years of violence there on her own. Her story is absolutely inspiring.
Read the article by Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times here.

The promotional video for Kate Spade's fragrance, Twirl. I haven't gotten to try it yet but this video certainly makes me want to be the kind of person that would wear it.
Also, their new collection of short stories, She is Quick and Curious and Playful and Strong looks fabulous- although it is sold out online, apparently it is still available in stores

Josh Groban's new album Illuminations is absolutely fantastic (I already fell in love with Higher Window). It is different from his earlier work, but it seems so transparent and honest in a way that is impossible not to respect.

The trailer for the upcoming (hand-drawn!) Winnie the Pooh movie is compositionally stunning, so simple and gentle and nostalgic. Not to mention that the use of Keane's Somewhere Only We Know is more than apropos for the mood they create- this makes me want to go back to the time when I was little and used to watch The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh on VHS rather regularly.

Zenyatta, easily one of the best racehorses in history, ran her last race on Saturday in the Breeders' Cup Classic
Her career was simply inspirational
She lost by just a nose, but not for a lack of trying
