The Nativity and 'Breath of Heaven' - Amy Grant



I wanted to find a song that begins this journey that is taken at Christmas; something reflective. I believe that this is a good one. The anguish of a Mother in waiting and the ominous task ahead. I hope you enjoy.

THE PRAYER with Lyrics_Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli

I was driving along, today, listening to my favorite radio station, www.KLOVE.com, when all of a sudden, this beautiful song (oddly enough, embedding wasn't available.) came on. It's one that just tugs at the heartstrings, it's so moving.

I watched a PBS concert special of Andre Bocelli, doing an outdoor concert, in Italy, once. It was the most beautiful music I had ever heard and the shots of the sun setting and just the whole setting was so magical, I wished that Andre had even an inkling how beautiful it was. But...I also think that he was quite enjoying the evening, himself; he was singing with a beautiful young woman whom he seemed quite enchanted with; and...with good reason, too: she had the voice of an angel. So...even though Andre couldn't enjoy seeing his surroundings, it was wonderful to see him so thoroughly enjoying his accompaniment. :-D

I hope you enjoy this beautiful song. :-)

'Airplane' - A Tribute to Leslie Nielsen



Leslie Nielsen passed away, last Sunday, and I wanted to pay homage to the "funny man" who gave us 'Airplane' and many other silly flicks! All I remember, regarding 'Airplane' are two lines:
(repeated before, during and after the landing attempt)

"I just wanna tell you both, good luck. We're all counting on you." (LMAO at that!) and I also remember being SHOCKED at the unexpected and highly inappropriate (keep in mind, this was in 1980 and I was but a "mere" teenager!! And...I guess I had not seen that comment coming!) comment from the little girl: [when offered cream for her coffee] "No thank you, I take it black…like my men." LOL!!

Anyway, I can't seem to find any other movie that I have seen with him in it, since, but think that I will re-watch 'Airplane' soon! I need a GOOD laugh and LOVE HILARIOUS play on words! :-)

Thank you, Mr. Nielsen, for having been a "bright spot" in ALL of our lives! :-D

'The Last Station'



I was reading an article with Helen Mirren commenting on how Hollywood is "Sexist and Ageist." I couldn't agree MORE and even eluded to this fact, in this post (dang, how time FLIES!!)! Helen is such a beautiful-looking woman, I HOPE that her bringing this issue out into the open, that producers will be more inclined to include these beautiful actors, in future flicks. Thank you, Helen, for speaking out about an issue that Corporate America has yet to address but seems to be getting away with, as well...up until this point, anyway! :-0

This film looks WONDERFUL! My kind of movie: something of substance rather than ALL the UNNECESSARY "shoot-'em-up" and GORE that MOST people seem to relish in! What makes it even more interesting is that it is biographical so...someone's life is being shared in order to teach us something about them, perhaps even learning about them, for the first time, drawn in by the actors who play them. I look very much forward to seeing this and will write more after having done so. The trailer certainly makes it look intriguing. :-) Anyone having seen it, PLEASE COMMENT. I would love to have your, um, "take" on it! ;-) Thanks!

It's a Date!


So...it looks like Prince William and his lovely fiance, Kate Middleton, will be getting married at the GORGEOUS 'Westminster Abbey,'
April 29th, 2011!

Check out the pics of this SPECTACULAR place! Some INCREDIBLE numbers here, as well: they expect 1 BILLION peeps to be watching this wedding (NO PRESSURE!) AND the wedding, itself, is estimated to cost around $40 MILLION!!!!!!!

Anybody remember this little tidbit of trivia: Elton John singing 'Goodbye England's Rose.' ('Candle in the Wind') for William's mom, Princess Diana, in 1997, in this very sanctuary.

Interestingly enough, William's parents were married
July 29th, 1981... (notice the SAME DATE of the month! And...3 months shy of an exact 30 years later!)

And...these two most definitely did NOT rush into this commitment; they've been together for a WHOPPING 8 YEARS!!!!!!! And DANG aren't they going to have some ADORABLE children! They make a very beautiful couple! I hope they continue to have a wonderful life, together! Personally, I think I would FAINT at the beginning of the walk down that INTIMIDATING aisle thinking about ALL the EYES that are on me! YIKES!!!!!
