Movie Monday

Happy Monday, friends!! Only a few more days and I'll be in New York City for a week. I am so excited to fulfill another dream of mine.
But for today I have another really great movie for you. I have watched this one already in the summer but somehow forgot to post it here and now I watched it again yesterday. Chasing Mavericks.
What I love about the movie is not necessarily the surfing although it's pretty awesome. What I love about the movie is the relationship. The mentoring that is happening there. I love the line, "There are all kinds of sons. Some are born to you, some just occur to you". Hello?? How true is that?
So to all you men out there, married, fathers or singles, I want to let you know that you are fathers in the House of God. Don't ever take that lightly. It is a great responsibility.

This is one of those movies which leaves me sitting in front of the screen wondering about this guy's life and trying to understand and wanting to know more.
And apart from all of that Gerard Butler is always great at what he does.

If you haven't watched the movie yet, please do.

Thursday Tunes

Well hello there! I'm sorry it has been a tad bit quiet around here, but I promise more to come soon.
Today on this cold, grey November afternoon I would like to share a song with you that totally gets you into lighting a candle and being cozy under a blanket mood.
I recently started watching Nashville (yep, you heard right) and the music is so beautiful. So I thought I'd share this beautiful song with you. Hope you enjoy it, hope you relax and rest a little.

Movie Monday

Every year when I watch the Oscars I make a list of movies that I want to watch and Beasts of the Southern Wild was one it. I finally got around to watching it. Do you know those kind of movies you keep putting off because you know they will touch your soul and you're just not quite ready yet? Well, this is one of them.
It is one of those movies which is beautiful and funny and cute and at the same time it is heartbreaking and sad and makes you cry. I have a few things to say about this one: 1. it is absolutely beautifully done, 2. the acting was amazing. This little girl  did a phenomenal job and 3. I loved that the movie didn't interpret itself but left you standing with your own thoughts and your own interpretations. I watched it with my friend Larissa and we talked about it afterwards, tried to find our own insight into the story and that led to other topics and things which are on our heart.
I guess this quote kind of sums it up alltogether: "When it all goes quiet behind my eyes, I see everything that made me lying around in invisible pieces. When I look too hard, it goes away. And when it all goes quiet, I see they are right here. I see that I'm a little piece in a big, big universe. And that makes things right."
Have you watched this movie? What did you think?

Movie Monday

It is Monday again and for now this means that I am presenting you with another beautiful movie. I have wanted to watch this one for a long time and finally got to it. The Artist.
I must say at first it was very odd to not have anybody talk, but after a while it really go to me. I think it definitely earned all the Oscars it has received in 2012. It was a phenomenal movie taking us back in time to how movies were. Yes the story was nothing new yet it was well brought across and still got us all thinking and feeling with the main actors (unlike Avatar, but I'm not going to go into that direction).
Jean Dujardin was phenomenal. His expressions are unseen and he kind of reminds me personally of of a young Clark Gable.

My friend Larissa and I watched The Artist on a rainy Saturday afternoon with pancakes and coffee and eggs and we laughed and enjoyed ourselves very much.

A thankful heart

Fall always means change for me. I mean it's natural. When you go to school or university it all starts new but even now in my work life. Fall always means things are picking up, at church, at work and we quickly slide into the Holiday season with parties happening all over the place (which I love).
The last couple of years Fall really brought either the knowledge of change or complete change in every area of my life. But this fall around is different. Yes, things have picked up more after a season of rest and all but I don't go through a drastic change myself. I have been over the last couple of months but I am finding myself at a beautiful rest and ease on the inside. The kind of rest I haven't felt in years. And with that there is new passion and strength and stamina. There are new dreams and ideas and inspiration.
So October has been such a month of thankfulness.  It all started with my Erntedankparty and continued far into October. I am just truly thankful for my life, for my family, my church, my friends, for this opportunity given to make a difference in this day and age.
I thought I'd just share a few pictures with you of what happened in October and what I'm thankful for. So here we go:

1. For sharing life and art and inspiration with this great friend 2. For friends around the table 3. leaves turning, bike rides and seeing nature bring out all their beautiful colors 3. for autumn hikes and nature  4. for making a difference, bringing up the next generation and doing that with friends

What are you thankful for?
xoxo
