Finding beauty, finding Bella

Just saw wonderful 20 minute long film called «Finding Bella». The film was written and directed by Myron Kim and produced by Lotay Yang, the founder of the Black Card Circle Foundation.

If you feel a sense of loss and lack of purpose, take twenty minutes to watch this. I love the name Bella, my youngest daughter's name, and of course, it means beautiful.  The story is the story of life in general. No matter how much is broken we can find beauty. Enjoy.

The film Blue Like Jazz opened in select theaters this weekend. Here's what I thought of it.

 If you have read the book, inevitably you will wish for more in the film, but that is just impossible given the medium. If you haven't read the book, make sure you read it even if you saw the movie. The storyline is different.

The power of introverts. Why it's okay to want to live in your own head.

I am an introvert, maybe you are too. Actually 50-70% of us are. We live in a world, where extroverted behavior is much more popular.

If you draw your energy from being alone, if you would rather read a book than go to a party, if you live in your head, I have a great TED talk for you. It will make you feel validated.

If you want to be refreshed in your faith — read this book.

I had a rough day, so I picked up a book I had started reading a few months ago but never finished. It's an obscure book, not a best seller. It was written in the 17th century by a Jesuit priest named Jean Paul de Caussade. The title of this treasure is Abandonment To Divine Providence.

It's a bit wordy and it sounds...well, old. But you will not find any book on reliance on God that is more uplifting and transforming.
