every creation begins as an idea

Vesta Stoudt, the inventor of duct tape, was born this week in 1891. She had two sons serving in the Navy during World War II, and when she learned that the tape they were using in life-threatening situations, because of its inefficiency, was actually keeping them in harms way, she came up with a solution: use a cloth-based waterproof tape which would allow soldiers to complete their dangerous work faster. She wrote a letter to President Roosevelt, explaining her idea, who forwarded it to the War Production Board in Washington, D.C.
“Ideas are the impulses that make things happen. Every invention, creation, and work of art - and every miracle - begins as an idea. And words are the agents that channel the force of miraculous ideas into the world.”
– Todd Michael, Twelve Conditions of a Miracle
