Sharing thanks for Hollywood Heartthrobs


Whitehouse Down Movie Trailer, I'm a big Channing Tatum fan!

One of the things I love about going to the movies is seeing my Hollywood Heartthrobs. I remember growing up and those first crushes. I was a big Robert Redford fan! For me it was not just about looks my favorite actors could also act. My favorite movies were "The Sting," "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid" and the most romantic movie, "The Way We Were" Robert Redford will by Gatsby to me although I though Leonardo DiCaprio did Gatsby proud as well, "Old Sport!" I would love to hear about the Hollywood hunks that you were thankful for growing up. Here is what I was thankful for!
  1. Sharing thanks for seeing Channing Tatum stay alive in a movie! The last two films I saw Channing in, his characters died way to early. I was thankful to see him stay alive in Whitehouse Down!
  2. Sharing thanks for seeing Whitehouse Down with my daughter Liz and our good friend Bika! We all enjoyed this action film. It is wonderful to see great acting, and an anti-gun plot, ironic as the movie has a lot of fire power in it. Great performances by Channing Tatum, and Jamie Fox makes a believable president. We also enjoyed Emily Singer's performance as the daughter. Smart phones are changing the world daily! My favorite line, "Watch what your doing, Don't hit me in the head with that rocket."
  3. Sharing thanks for Henry Cavill who was a dashing Superman in Man of Steel, Tom Cruise (I grew up with him and Risky Business is an all time classic) in Oblivion, Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby, Chris Pine, who has the most dazzling blue eyes in Star Trek, Into the Darkness, and Mark Ruffalo in Now You See Me, although my daughter's loved Dave Franco (James Franco's brother).
  4. Sharing thanks for my good friend Bika who is a true hero in real life! Bika is an inspiring person, she was born with spina bifida and has never walked a day in her life. She went to the Henry Viscardi school where she got a good education and then graduated from Stonybrook University. She has a good job as a supervisor, is independent, drives, and is a kind and joyful person. She overcomes obstacles everyday with grace and humor. I am proud to have her as a friend!
I invite you to share thanks and look forward to hearing about your Hollywood heartthrobs. I love gratitude and I also have a passion for film, books, art, music, adventure, travel which all show up in my thanks! Although I would love to get free movie passes and go to premiers, I paid to see all of the movies mentioned because I love the movies!

Create a Sharing Thanks Journal with someone to cultivate a Grateful Heart

    I am very thankful for this very special Christmas gift given to me by my daughter Liz. She made me a Sharing Thanks Journal. I love her heart design and the picture of us she printed to adorn the inside of this very special journal. The best gift of all was that we used the journal together to practice gratitude. She wrote the first entry listing four things she was thankful for and passed the journal back to me. We use the journal to share what we are thankful for. It has helped me practice gratitude and has helped me and my daughter connect on a deeper level. It is wonderful to have a dialogue where we share our blessings. I love writing my thanks and sharing what brings me joy. It could be a beautiful sunset, or a kind smile a stranger gave me. I love learning about what my daughter is thankful for. I recommend sharing a journal with someone special to help your gratitude practice. It will allow you to focus on counting your joys and help you connect to someone in a lo

Thankful for Chihuly's impressionistic water reflections at New York Botanical Gardens

I love sharing beautiful spaces with fellow friends who appreciate the impact of art fused with nature. So thankful to my friend Liz who invited me to go see the current Chihuly exhibit at the New York Botanical Gardens. I loved how Chihuly's pieces enhanced the beauty of the main greenhouse exhibits. We were blessed with a crisp fall day with blue skies. I took this video to capture the wave of colors undulating that looked like painter's brush strokes in the water. Below is the glass work that made these beautiful reflections. If you live in the New York area I recommend you go to the New York Botanical Gardens to enjoy this artist's brilliant work. The NYBG also has some fun fall displays. My friend and I enjoyed posing with pumpkin man. Below are a few more pictures from the greenhouse that illustrate how well this artist's work merges with nature. Hope you are enjoying this autumn season. Please share a fall activity that your thankful for! If
