Give Yourself The Present

One of the things I am striving for with all that is happening to me and around me is to be present.

Hey, it's not as easy as it sounds. I have to keep pinching myself that right here right now is what I wished for (I don't use the word pray, it's an exclusive term.) 

Life is amazing in it's simplicity if you allow yourself to breathe...

Breathe and give yourself the gift of being present, It takes work, but it's worth it!

"Dormir Pour Rever"

Lo-Flo Records Presents New Single, “Dormir Pour Rêver,” Written in 1972 by Composer Jane McNealy Featuring Emmanuelle Raoul-Duval

“Dormir Pour Rêver,” was inspired by the Tahitien mural, “D'où venons-nous ? Que sommes-nous ? Où allons-nous ?” or translated, “Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?” painted by the artist, Paul Gauguin. When composer Jane McNealy and collaborator Alice Kuhns first started researching Gauguin’s life with the idea of turning it into a musical, McNealy recalled, "The more I learned about Gauguin’s life, the more there were so many unanswered questions: What happens when we look back and reevaluate our life? Are we filled with regret and questions that cannot be answered? How do we resolve our doubts and justify our existence? Does it matter?" Although "I Lay Me Down To Sleep,” written in 1971, was never used in the musical, it was later translated into French, by her mother, Ann McNealy, in 1972. Fluent in French, and a poet in her own right, Ann’s translation, "Dormir Pour Rêver," is uniquely original. As Jane likes to say, “‘Dormir Pour Rêver’ was born with my mother’s own deeply creative interpretation and her own life questions.” The composition is beautifully sung by Emmanuelle Raoul-Duval and accompanied by Ari Fisher’s elegant string and horn arrangement. For the non French speakers who want to dive deeper into the lyrics, you can check out the video for “Dormir Pour Rêver,” produced by Julie Flogeac, which includes English subtitles. Out and available to stream and watch on your preferred service!

Back To The Hills

T.G.I.F. Minions! Well as everyone knows by now Denise Richards is returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

While there are some of you (I don't know you) that are not pleased about this, I for one am.

Denise was the breath of fresh air the show needed the first season she was on, that's why she got dragged the second one. Jealousy is an ugly thing, and Rinna (the Queen of Dragging Housewives) did not her stealing her thunder, thus she hopped on her broomstick and did her thing.

I also think it's great that Lisa Rinna is off the show, it will give Denise a lot more room to breathe and reclaim her first season bad self.

Yeah, I agree with what Garcelle is saying...

Hump Day & Chill

In Gwyneth We Trust

This week we have the definition of Hump Day & Chill in the house! One Ms. Gwyneth Paltrow during her trial regarding some ski accident somewhere. 

Honestly who cares about the details Gwyneth was cool as a cucumber and making no apologies for her white woman privilege as only she can.

Cards on the table? There are more than a few things that annoy me about Ms. Paltrow but this trial was one of her best performances evuh!!! She was everything and then some the most collected, calm rich white woman in the history of them! 

I'm glad she took the proceedings on with a bit of pomp and frivolity, because I certainly thought the case against her was ridiculous and should never have gone to trial.

Thus we crown Gwyneth Paltrow the this week's Queen of Hump Day & Chill. Until someone dethrones her get your hump on Minions!!!
