If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why? So, I adore Meryl. Just a lot a bit. A lot of characters she plays are awesome. And of course her insane acting ability … Continue reading
Wow, I better hurry. It is THE award night.
So, I have really done well with my eating lately. The WW app is all that. I have also done a somewhat decent job at reading my Bible, not as much as I should, but better than I was doing. I have also managed to keep up with my devotional. In the morning, or late night I go to these sources for inspiration or to have a “conversation” with God. Blogs on WordPress inspire me as well to either write more, be a better person, or to reflect on my life.
The funny thing is that Instagram is where I connect the most with people mentally and spiritually. I mean I love WordPress and Facebook and other social sites. But, Instagram provides great quotes, and people who are redefining their lives and people who are getting their start.
It is so awesome to log on to Instagram in the morning before I have spoken a word to anyone and read such rawness, power, passion and fire. Many of these people are marketing themselves, but there are a fair number of them that have that x factor. That something special that makes you excited to be affiliated with them and be “friends” with them.
I am so excited to be a part of their journey. I have bought e-books, hardcover books, and shared their profiles. I have commented or hearted (liked) their posts. I have tried to be supportive, because these particular people have the drive and the guts to do what they love and to talk about it all of the time.
The ones that are special, I do not mind reading 10 posts from a day. It is not like Twitter, where nothing super interesting can be said except in little tiny phrases. The pictures, words of wisdom and baring of their souls on this social media site has motivated me and made me be a cheerleader even in my times of doubt or aggravation.
So, hats off to these pioneers. But more importantly, hats off to the people who have provided IG to us. It is a jewel in the rough of all of the different formats that people can communicate on electronically. I wish I would have paid it more attention a long time ago.
Happy Oscars and Chinese New Year!

Here’s hoping my girl Meryl clinches an Oscar! And, hopefully Grand Budapest Hotel, the Imitation Game, Magic in the Moonlight and Selma deserves to be at the top! Love Ava Duvernay:) Proud of Jen Anniston too by the way!
First off, I did not know (Or maybe I did but forgot), that I could watch a movie On Demand when it is out at the theater. Pretty cool. The movie had some funny parts, but it did not match up to all of the controversy behind it in my opinion. It was that typical “white boy humor” as people call it. I could see some frat guys watching it while at a kegger. Not that I don’t have a sense of humor, I love the Hangover and Bridesmaids-at least I did the first few times.
Anyway, I thought it was going to be super phenomenal. Maybe that is the reason that I don’t get into books or movies or shows until after everyone else does. I am often disappointed. I believe the hype and then I am all-“man that sucked.”
I will mention a movie that was surprisingly entertaining and interesting-“Into the Woods”. First off, it had my girl Meryl Streep in it. That will always mean a good movie. But the cast was fantastic. Emily Blunt has really spread her acting wings and I am impressed. I had know idea that it was a musical, so I am glad that I went to see it opening weekend. I didn’t have time to hear about people’s opinions of it to cloud my judgement either way. I don’t know that I would want to watch it again and again, but I rather enjoyed it. Am I one of the few people in the universe who did not know that it was a play already?
Have a great day and go see Into the Woods if you like musical movies. Or, “The Night at the Museum” was really entertaining as well. It was surreal to see Robin Williams in it knowing that it was his last movie ever…
