Lady Miss Liv

Ever since I was nineteen and saw her in Stealing Beauty (thirty years later it is still in my top five favourite films of all time), I wished to be as flawlessly beautiful as Liv Tyler. I even have a photo I found of her on the beach tacked up on my vision board in my closet. If I could have the body of someone else's, it'd be Liv Tyler's on that beach. She's lovely.

10 - The Lion

The Lion

Last week a lion came to town. Naturally we were terrified. He stalked our streets with his tail swishing behind him, snarling and lunging at anyone who came near. We gathered on rooftops and watched him from a distance, too frightened to return to our offices and homes. He ate mailboxes and small cars, and he was taking apart the post office with his teeth when a little girl came skipping down the street. She bounded towards the beast with outstretched arms, singing Mr. Lion, Mr. Lion as if he were a stuffed animal that had come to life. She giggled as she picked up his tail and began skipping rope. We gasped. We could not look. But the lion simply sighed and settled down for a nap. When approached by such a cheerful and harmless creature, what else can you do?

Approach your adversaries with kindness and no harm will come to you. Your behavior will determine the well-being of your community and yourself. Integrity is louder than words.

Molly Ringwald

Pretty much anyone who was a girl in the 80s liked Molly Ringwald. She was beautiful in a very real way and was a natural actress. She had that lovely red hair and deep brown eyes. Here's a page from an old scrapbook. I took this photo of it back in 2015, when I was heavy in to downsizing and getting rid of stuff. Glad I snapped this pic - if only for the hair inspo. I wonder if I could ever get mine styled like that...

My Kinda Stairway

Man do I wish I had a real home that I could wallpaper the hell out of...

Just Be Grateful

Natalia in Perú

Natalia's in Perú with hubby and Teo. She's such a doll and has been keeping me up to date on all her adventures.

Roger Sterling Quotes

My favourite character on Mad Men, and the most debonair and handsome, was without question, Roger Sterling. I’m so glad I took a screenshot of his best lines because I really needed this laugh. I gotta re-watch that series immediately.
