As a teenager, I lived in the heart of a very politically unstable third world country. During an election year it was not safe as a foreigner or as a young woman to travel alone. At one point there had been many reports of attacks, especially in the city where we lived. Once, I went [...]

Everybody, including me, loves the clip in the trailer from “Pursuit of Happyness” where the father tells the son “If you want something, go get it. period.” But the best part of the the entire scene (and this movie has some great scenes) isn’t even in the clip. The best moment is when he (the [...]

If you know me, you know I’ve always loved to dance and I love movies about dancing.The hero(eine) of these films must always embody fearlessness to thrive and Strickly Ballroom is a wonderful study of how fear can hamper a life and how overcoming your fear to live your life’s dreams can create a life [...]

I’ve recently come across this bit of culinary history and in addition to being highly entertaining (Julia keeps ‘improving’ upon Jacques’s process before she’s really aware of what he had in mind and, even when she finds out, she just doesn’t care. It’s a study in being vested in being right!) it’s also a really [...]

A friend shared this with me and I felt, it worth sharing with you. I don’t know Glenn Beck and so am not aware if this is how he is all the time or if this is a departure for him, but I do know it speaks of admiration of a man who, for Mr. [...]

It’s a snowy day. The house , while not quite quiet, has a kind of low hum going on as the children negotiate their choirs, their homework, their computer time and catching up with friends who are also snowed in, with long chatty ‘girly’ phone calls. There are rumblings of a Webkins themed parties among [...]

I read this as part of a talk a few weeks ago and wanted to share it with you, but I have been unable to find the talk again and can’t remember who said it. I may not even have it quoted quite right but I share it because it is truth and as soon [...]
