I feel light-hearted and I am buzzing with peace and contentment.
Yes, they are just movies, with a lot of Hollywood added to the realities... but there's nothing wrong with a little Calfornia dreamin' every once in a while. Ahhhh, the inspiration!!!!!!!!

You can DO it, WaterBoy!!!! You CAN DO IT!!!

I watched "Stay" last night and I loved it...I think it just came out and it made me cry! It's hard to make me cry but that movie sure did for some reason.

Remeber the Titans is an inspirational sports story and Coach Carter is an inspirational teaching story, if that helps differentiate for you. Both are good, but different.

This quote is from the screenplay to Coach Carter. I have no idea where this quote originally came from, but I have read it before more than once.

"Our deepest fear is not
that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness
that most frightens us.

Your playing small
does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking

so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.

We were all meant to shine,
as children do.

It's not just in some of us,
it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,

we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated
from our own fear,

our presence automatically
liberates others."
