Judy 99

Happy Birthday to the amazing Judy Garland. I have written a lot about Judy on my blog, you can go back to older posts to see my thoughts about her.  I love these two pictures I found of her on pinterest. They capture inner moments of Judy.

Here is the trailer from one of my top five movies of Judy. She doesn't sing in this one. It's all acting. It is a beautiful romantic movie called The Clock. It is from 1945. Judy is paired with Robert Walker in this one.

If you have never seen in, then you are in for a treat.

Josephine

 

I am a day late, I am sure Josephine Baker will excuse me this one time. Yesterday was her birthday. 

I found this video last week which I so enjoyed. In honor of her June 3 birthday, watch Josephine be her amazing and magnetic self.  Happy Friday.

Wordless Wednesday: Peace

 

44 years ago today..

"Your sad devotion to that ancient religion.." Star Wars is not my religion; but, it is very close!

Whenever I go back to rewatch the films especially Star Wars: A New Hope. It's always going back to old friends from my childhood. When we are young together.

This is the true Star Wars today to me. It is poignant that Carrie isn't here with us now. She lives on in her family and all of us. If you have never seen Star Wars, here is my suggestion on how to watch just the original and prequels... Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith and Return of the Jedi. 

After all these years, that trench run is still thrilling. The moment when Luke actually lets go and uses The Force is wonderful. When I was a girl, I felt stuck in situation I would say that to myself. I would say to myself  Let go, Shell. It always worked for me. 

         

May The Force Be With You Always..

St. Dymphna

 Blessings to one of my favorite saints: St. Dymphna. She is the patron saint of those who need help dealing with mental health issues and sexual abuse. On her feast day, I like to share my love for this kind and loving saint.

She is a catholic saint. Though I am not catholic, I have found her still kind and open to working with me. I feel as long as you have a need and a good heart, she will come to you. Thank you St, Dymphna for all that you have done for me.
