In A Heartbeat
Consider A filmmaker’s most important tool is humanity. You want to be able to capture humanity in your stories and bring out humanity in your characters. – Ryan Coogler Of this special little video, one of about 50 million viewers wrote, “When I first saw this it was in elementary school and I’m so glad they showed us this for a project about not discriminating against people.” Two more responses, This video honestly made me feel something. Something very special. I have always been passionate about love and this just made me feel it even more. Yes, maybe they are the same gender, but that doesn’t matter. In a relationship, only true love matters most. If you feel some sort of love-ish connection with a person, it doesn’t matter if your zodiac compatibility is off. I watched this year’s ago thinking it was so cute (not caring about gender or anything and for not knowing about LGBTQIA+ yet) I just refound it and now I love it even more this is a perfect, adorable, amazing video!!

Love is 4: Fairytale
Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale. – Melissa Brown, Picturing Perfect Today, I’ll be soaking dry cannellini beans in spring water. After they plump, I’ll cook a hearty and creamy soup. Except, a couple beans will be planted on my windowsill. There, I’ll watch to see what kind of beanstalks grow. This holiday season has been incredibly beautiful in Pittsburgh. Record snowfalls keep creating fairytale wonderlands. In one form or another, I hope the same for you. [Keep in mind Neil Gaiman’s words from Coraline. “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”] Blessings and best wishes for a new year of sunlit and lovely places where all the good you can imagine grows.
