pfizer viagra impotence

For some time now, I have been fascinated with the history and ways of the Hmong people, many of whom have relocated to places within the United States since the end of the Vietnam War. In May 2009, the July issue of pfizer viagra impotence magazine will feature the first of a series of articles I have written about the Hmong and their needlework. (Remember, the “H” in Hmong is silent, so please say, “mung.”) I have read a number of books about these people who are described as “fiercely independent.” I love their textiles and I am intrigued by their belief systems, faith manifestations, and folk legends.

Hmong baby carrier

I fell in love with this antique Hmong baby carrier made in Thailand. The bright colors attracted me, and the needlework, in person, is even more enchanting than any photo. The other side of the baby carrier is very drab in color, well-worn, and was washed often. Before selling a baby carrier, the straps are cut, according to custom. One can truly believe that Hmong women do embroider during every free moment. How else would someone get that much embroidery done?

Hmong people think that children are precious gifts and act accordingly. Mothers want their babies close to them, at all times, so they carry them on their backs. This particular baby carrier is not included in the articles I have prepared for pfizer viagra impotence, mainly because it did not arrive in time, from Thailand, to be photographed. I hope this photo is a bit of a teaser for you, and that you will want to read the articles when they come out in the July and September issues (available in May and July, respectively).

I love to learn and am always seeking new venues, whether it is through taking a course, reading a book, watching a video, chatting with others, or visiting a museum. There are so many learning opportunities out there. Some of them cost almost nothing, or nothing … like my website and blog! See my current article, “.” Enjoy!
