Reign Over Me – Movie Review

Reign Over Me – Movie Review

You have to see the new Adam Sandler and Don Cheedle Movie, Reign over me. I found myself at about 1:00pm yesterday trying to go to a movie and nothing was playing at a decent time that I hadn’t already seen but that. And I really didn’t plan to see an Adam Sandler movie, but was I glad I did.

You Won… Have You Been Scammed Lately?

You Won… Have You Been Scammed Lately?

I had a sea of emails asking me to claim my prize. But this time I was determined to walk away with something worthwhile. I followed the link and embarked on a wild ride. If I completed all the offers, surveys, and shipping fees, I would receive a $500 Visa gift card. I could certainly use that gift card.

The Measure of a Man Sidney Poitier

The Measure of a Man  Sidney Poitier

Having always thought of Sidney Poitier as a gifted consummate actor, I was pleasantly surprised to discover the trials he went through to become that way. A current Oprah’s pick, his memoir, The Measure of a Man , is the story of how a young man with so limited advantages and resources rises to become the consummate actor. Among his many awards for his performances both on stage and in the movies he received the Academy Award in 1964 for best actor in Lilies of the Field.

Son-Rise – The Miracle Continues

This is a true story of a family who beat the odds. When faced with the devasting diagnosis that their only son had a severe case of autism spectrum disorder, they defied the advice of specialists and devised their own treatment to reach their son. With unconditional love and patience, they not only made a connection, something that eludes those with the disorder, but with their child, Raun Kaufman, fully recovered, and now shows no signs of ever suffering from autism.

Fall back ten and punt

Fall back ten and punt

Florida gave me a lot. I got my degree. I gave birth to my youngest daughter. I found myself and solidified my identity. However, over the past few years I have been suffering losses. My oldest children are grown but did not leave the nest, and along with maturity there had been contention. I found myself giving more and more and receiving back resentment.

The “F” in Fashion Is for Fun

The “F” in Fashion Is for Fun

Since when did fashion get so serious that a girl can’t shave her head and not make it on every gossip magazine at the grocery store? It’s just hair, people, really. But Britney’s move was definitely shocking…for me to watch, at least. I’ll admit it. I myself enjoy playing around with braids, weaves, and scarfs; how my hair looks is nearly as important, if not more, than the jeans on my butt and the shoes on my feet.
