Reflections :: Finding Peace Within
Image courtesy of Flickr Where inspiration is derived is as diverse as the individuals who seek it. I found mine in Denver, Colorado at Warren Church. It is a small church in an old but beautiful area of Denver where the streets are lined with quaint houses and a large park nearby. The congregation there have little in common other than their faith. In 2012, I found myself unable to work due to health issues. I applied for Social Security which took a very long two years to receive. During this process, I lost my home, my car and many of my belongings. It was a very dark…

The Langham Huntington Hotel is a Must-See Travel Destination
In January I attended the PBS Winter Press Tour and had the fortune to stay at the lovely Langham Huntington, Pasadena Hotel which is situated at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. I always enjoy going to the PBS events because it reminds me how much I love their programming, but this Winter Tour was extra special because of the accommodations courtesy of The Langham Huntington, Pasadena Hotel. Driving through the gorgeous older Pasadena neighborhoods you are taken back in time. These neighborhoods were most likely built in the 1940’s and I can only imagine all the hustle and bustle of Hollywood during that time. To provide a visual,…

Netflix’s New Series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
From “30 Rock” executive producers Tina Fey and Robert Carlock comes this hilarious comedy series starring Ellie Kemper (“The Office,” “Bridesmaids”) as a woman who is rescued from a doomsday cult and starts life over as a nanny for a socialite (Jane Krakowski from “30 Rock”) in New York City. I loved watching Ellie on The Office and appreciate her talent. I think she is so funny in a witty and subtle way! Armed with just a backpack, light-up sneakers and a couple of past-due library books, she takes on a world she didn’t think even existed anymore. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt also stars Ellie Kemper, Jane Krakowski, and Tituss…
