Documentary Biography of Iris Apfel

Every now and then I receive a pleasant surprise when channel surfing on the TV. 

This year I caught an airing of a magnificent documentary on the designer Iris Apfel. 

I had no idea who she was before I saw the footage and I wish I had the chance to meet her in person! A kindrid spirit who enjoys creating wearable art each day - she pairs her wardrobe choice with a unique and vibrant collection of jewelry about her neck and wrists. She has purchased clothes and accessories from around the globe and has a fantastic outlook on the way the world and its people function regularly. The style of glasses she wears are her signature feature.

Golden Globe Quotes

Eclipse 2017 - Photo by Laura Moody

Although my image above is of the recent eclipse of the sun by the moon, I thought it resembled a golden globe with that that bright light in the center!

So I watched the 75th Golden Globe Awards ceremony this week. In case you missed it, here are a few celebrity quotes that I found filled with truth. 

"You were born worthy" - Viola Davis, actress

"It's time for laughter. We hope we give 'em some." - John Goodman, actor

"Words and action can change the world and boy does it need some changin'!" - Gary Oldman, actor

Wishing you a wonderful 2018 filled with Hope, Joy and Peace!

Upcycled Wreath - A Cover Up! :)

Upcycled Wreath by Laura Moody:
Magazine pages painted with acrylic - A colorful cover-up!

The love of Jesus covers over a multitude of deplorable acts by humans. We need to look to our Lord and Savior for help every day!

These lyrics by Mark Hayes and Tim Hughes say it well:

Here I Am To Worship

Hillsong Worship

Light of the world

You stepped down into darkness

Opened my eyes, let me see

Beauty that made this heart adore You

Hope of a life spent with You

Here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God

You're altogether lovely

Altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days

Oh so highly exalted

Glorious in heaven above

Humbly You came to the earth You created

All for love's sake became poor

Here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God

You're altogether lovely

Altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me

Well, I'll never know how much it cost

To see my sin upon that cross

Well, I'll never know how much it cost

To see my sin upon that cross

Well, I'll never know how much it cost

To see my sin upon that cross

Well, I'll never know how much it cost

To see my sin upon that cross

Songwriters: Mark Hayes / Tim Hughes
