For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
———-
No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
———-
There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Man’s goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.

… spending a warm, sunny day in Los Angeles.

I love Pinkberry. If you’ve ever been there you probably love it too. If not come visit me and I will take you.

Last Tuesday I decided to spend the day hanging out with my sweet, sweet grandmother. I took her down to Los Angeles to see a taping of Jeopardy. Oh man, she was in heaven! She’s a huge fan of the show and she was so happy to go see it in person. I have to admit it was pretty fun. After we did a little shopping and went over to the Farmers Market… the one by CBS Studios. The weather could not have been better. Our last stop before heading home? Pinkberry of course.

If I haven’t said it before, which I’m pretty sure I have but maybe you just weren’t listening (that’s ok though, I understand… I know, I ramble)… I love my Polaroid camera. I have a 680 SLR and it is fast becoming one of my most treasured possessions. I have to confess I never knew what the allure of a Polaroid camera was… I was sucked into the digital, take-200-shots-and-keep-2-thing. Don’t get me wrong. I love my digital camera but I’m using it less these days.

What happened was I saw this photo:

Gorgeous right?

and then I saw this one:

and then I saw many more like them and learned that they were taken by a Polaroid. What? I was in love. Obviously the wonderfulness of these photos belongs to Jen Gotch who took them and not just to the camera. I can’t even really remember how I found her photos to begin with but I somehow found her on Flickr and found myself adding photo after photo as a favorite. I was worried for a minute this might seem creepy and she’d block me! lol But no!

Needless to say I am a huge fan! I could go on but then this would turn into a crazy fan post and well… I think it already is.

Okay one last thing. She also makes these lovely Ban.dos. You should look at them. They are fantastic. The minute I’m back from my trip I’m ordering one. I especially like the one below. Even though it’s sold Jen is going to make me one similar. I’m very excited for my new purchase-to-be!
