Mother's Day

Here's wishing a very happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful moms out there!

The Royal Couple

Here is a good picture of William and Kate or as they will now be known - the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

I'm also reading...

I've been reading Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Women  which is one of the series of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff books written by Richard Carlson but this one is written by his wife Kristine.  It's full of good advice with short chapters.  It's probably nothing you haven't already read in other self-help books but it's good to be reminded not to take life too seriously!

Sadly, Richard Carlson died back in 2006.  I'm not sure what he died of but he was too young (born in 1961).

Current book...

I've been reading That's Another Story the autobiography of British actress Julie Walters.  I've really been enjoying reading about her life beginning with her childhood.  Julie starred in the movie Educating Rita with Michael Caine.  I didn't know it was a play first.  I'm just starting the chapter where she talks about it.  The movie is the funny and moving story of Rita, a working-class hairdresser who starts taking classes and begins to want more out of life.  Michael Caine plays Frank, her tutor with problems of his own. 

Getting back to the book, Julie is a great storyteller and I recommend her book highly!  And be sure and check out Educating Rita if you have missed it.

It's hard for me to chose just one!

I've got a Name

I've Got a Name is my favorite Jim Croce song.  It's such a shame that he died so young in a plane crash.

Michael Jackson tribute

This is a fun video!  Here is the description that came with the YouTube clip.  

What an unusual way to perhaps give these men a different more positive outlet and way of viewing themselves. This may well be the first time many of them get to feel that they have any worth or are able to contribute to something bigger than their own personal agenda. Some watching this video have been blown away by the spirit and majesty of this program, despite its compulsory participation caveat. These dancers are prisoners in the Detention and Rehabilitation Centre in the Province of Cebú in the Philippine Islands. The dances are obligatory for all of the 1600 prisoners, except the old or the sick.
