Seabiscuit - We finally watched the movie and it's a great story with horses and the races and old time characters who were still around when I was young. I thought Seabiscuit was a Triple Crown winner, but instead he was just a scrappy little horse who could run fast and defy odds during the troubled times of the depression in the 1930s. The simple and flawed people who believed in him make up the rest of Seabiscuit's story.
Searching for Sugarman - Just see it. Here's the true story of a man who made beautiful music and never got discovered in his own land, yet became a legend and hero in a far away place. Rodriguez is a magical kind of guy, and for me I love that the story originates in my hometown. Just see it.
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes - This is about people and their choices and how they often choose to make choices for other people as well as themselves. It will make you think about being able to decide on your own destiny were you to be struck by absolute catastrophe. It's narrated by a special young woman who grows and changes with her experience.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
