"Your life story would not make a good book. Don't even try." 
Fran Lebiwitz

And I am not going to try ... This week I have been very inspired by movies ... Both movies caught me by surprise.  The first being a documentary and for all of you who are reading this I am not one to sit down to watch a documentary on any topic.  But I have been a little under the weather this week and came across it as I was flipping the channels still in bed one late morning.  "Public Speaking" came up on the info ... I said to myself I like public speaking lets check it out ... and I am glad I did.  It's basically Fran Lebowitz and Martin Scorsese (who's mostly off camera) sitting at a booth in Manhattan's Waverly Inn and discussing a variety of topics.  Didn't know much about Lebowitz before watching this documentary ... It made me happy to know there are some great talkers in this world.   

"When I was a child it was called talking back now its called public speaking but really its the same thing" 
Fran Lebowitz

Thanks to my parents for not stifling my inner voice or my outer voice 

If you are unsure if the documentary is for you check out the trailer

The second movie I happened upon was Julie and Julia in the nail shop of all places.  Most people are familiar with this movie and with Julia Child.  Yes this would be one of those feel good movies but it also got me to thinking ... Find that one thing you love and do ... Simple or cliche it may be it has made me happy.  I started making Jewelry something I have always loved to do but now I want to see if I can make something out of it ... if nothing it makes me happy every day so far.
