Biography Weekend Review




I spent part of the weekend "reviewing" biographies.
Coco Before Channel has been around the blogosphere for awhile,
but my interest in it derived from my dear friend, Sheila from England,
 who was once a live-in tutor/ caregiver for Coco's nephews
 and I wanted to learn more about this timeless icon.
What an empowering movie!






Another motivating movie was Amelia...
which anyone can appreciate the once fearless flier's bravery. 





Lastly, my beau and I watched
10 Questions for the Dali Lama,
which neither of us were too familiar with
life in Tibet or Tibet's struggle with China.




It was a great documentary and we were thus able to appreciate some
amazing journalistic photography we saw this weekend
at the Las Olas Art Fair in Fort Lauderdale
by Robin Smillie, president of Rainbow Photo Tours, who operates tours to Bhutan.
To see his personal gallery, visit his website HERE. 



Happy Monday!!

Travel Thursday

Pastoral Ireland

Something about Ireland makes me yearn
my ancestory was from such a mystical place.

Something about it makes me want to own sheep
grow cabbage and potatoes,
write by the fireplace on a gray day wrapped in wool sweater,
and drive an ity bity car to town through bright green hills of grass and stone.
