The Greatest Equalizer

read this…and think…

Not to be creepy, but I’m thinking about Sharon Tate.

this woman is a gifted writer…always able to cut through the baloney and arrive poignantly at the crux of the matter…

Dirty Blonde Ink

My whole life has been decided by fate. I think something more powerful than we are decides our fates for us. I know one thing – I`ve never planned anything that ever happened to me.

It happened yesterday when I started writing about my absolute favorite blonde women in the world, which started with the 70’s and Farrah Fawcett (big shock), stayed with the 70’s (another shocker) and rightly ended up in the 70’s (yup), in L.A. on Cielo Drive.

Sharon Tate was mostly known for her role in Valley Of The Dolls and her marriage to French-Polish director Roman Polanski. She was seriously and stunningly gorgeous. I have a little bit of a preoccupation with her, who she was and what she may have been like. Every single word I’ve ever read about her is in praise of her…

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.

The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.

Find Your Dream Job

Lizzy Bell changed from an unrewarding life as an accountant to her dream job as a photographer and was interviewed recently by coach and journalist Suzy Greaves (during a bike ride from Lands End to John O’Groats!).

Lizzy’s story is such a great one for anyone stuck in a rut and wondering what business to start, I wanted to blog about it.  Especially following a recent survey that said being a photographer is No. 4 on the top 10 list of dream jobs.

So how did she do it?

Lizzy originally trained as an accountant and got a ‘proper job.’ “I’m not even that good at maths’ she laughs. “Like many people you end up in a career, you earn this money and you get channelled and things don’t maybe feel quite right and you just keep going and going.   I got to my mid to late 30s and…

my husband has ridden a motorcycle since he was 18. i could never really understand what the attraction was until i came across this saying the other day,”four wheels move the body. two wheels move the soul.”

Mom and Dad

Just Between Friends (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

two of my friends and i were discussing our families the other day. J and A and i have been friends since grade school…yeah,THAT long! anywho,we arrived at this conclusion. we are all married. we have 9 children between us. kids ages range from 8 to 26 and they are all doing very well. grades are taken seriously,part-time jobs and summer jobs are taken seriously, Mass on Sunday is taken seriously,chores are taken seriously(most of the time)…what gives? we are all two-parent families. children need a mom and a dad at home. i know a woman who is a single mom. a great person, she struggles to be both mom and dad to her 2 daughters. her stress level is high…arguing constantly over child support that these men do not want to pay, in and out of court a few times a year, arranging and paying for babysitters while she works because no partner is there to share the responsibility. it is stressful and her girls suffer for it also.

Where Do They Go From Here?
