Cute Loop!

I hope this brightens your day. It certainly brightened mine.

UPDATE: OH NO! It seems that the original cute loop doesn't exist anymore. It was kittens on a slide and a mama cat carrying them back to the top. If I can find it again, I'll repost it. Otherwise you'll just have to use your imaginations.  >^w^<

Namaste and Goodnight,

Beautiful People

Hello all,

I haven't been updated in awhile, so I wanted to take this opportunity to very quickly explain why.

First of all, my computer went into a coma last week. As of yesterday it is completely out of commission. In the time that my computer has been unusable I have had access to a family computer during very select hours of the day. This limited access made it rather hard for me to find material and to post.

I was not really planning on getting a new computer, but the project I have been working on requires one. Therefore, I have purchased a new laptop. After I get my new computer tomorrow night, I will be able to update you all much more regularly. I might even throw in an update about the beautiful design of my new laptop. :)

The other reason I haven't been able to update recently is that I have been prepping for my move to Chicago this Saturday.  I have never lived in a large metropolitan area before. To be honest, I have been rather anxious about it. However, I've both met and heard stories of some pretty spectacular people that live in the Chicago area, and my roommates have been amazing about preparing our apartment for my arrival. They are committed to creating a happy home for me, something I desperately need at this point in life, and due to their hard work I am much more relaxed.

I guess I was just worried because I have been witness to a lot of hate and cruelty lately, and I didn't want to face that alone in an unfamiliar territory. These beautiful in my life have but my fears to rest; I am not just speaking about my roommates but also the other citizens of Chicago I have come across, many of whom I haven't even spoken to. They have just shown out as strangers with kind hearts; and as long as strangers with kind hearts still exist, I have nothing to worry about.

To all of you who show kindness to others, who value the happiness and lives of others and not just your own, all of those of you share your compassion and generosity and humility and love and courage, who chose to do the right thing instead of the easy thing, regardless of who you are or where you are from or how easy or hard your journey has been thus far: You are beautiful.

You are the most beautiful thing in the world. I commend your efforts, and should you ever feel unappreciated or hopeless or like the work you do does not matter: know that your lives and your effort fill my life with beauty and light and purpose and strength, and make my journey easier.

I truly and deeply thank you for that.

Namaste and have a good evening,

Luna

An Underrated Movie

Hello All,

After my laptop decided to die yesterday, I spent my usual routine of staying up early into the morning hours watching a movie that I hadn't seen in a long time. I think it may have been the first movie I had ever watched on Netflix Instant View and I had forgotten why I had given it a 5 star rating. I remember now.

 

The movie is Phoebe in Wonderland. The title is apt for several reasons, the most obvious of which is an underlying connection that the main character of the movie, Phoebe Lichten (played by Elle Fanning), has to the character Alice of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone, so I will just say that it is a beautiful story a loving family trying to deal with the very difficult issue of growing up when you have a few extra struggles and aren't quite the same as everyone else. Phoebe in Wonderland is still available on Netflix Instant View, so if you have Netflix and you have the time please watch it. 

Namaste and Goodnight, 

Luna

A Lesson from Crayons

"We could learn a lot from crayons:  some are sharp, some are pretty; some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors... but they all exist very nicely in the same box."  Anonymous

The above advice should be shared with everyone.
