What are your top ten favorite movies?

1. “Ameliē”is by far one of my top movies of all time.

2. “Grand Canyon” a movie that came out in the 1990’s; where people’s world collide for good & bad.

3. “Dead Poets Society” Robin Williams teaches at a private school for boys. 4. “The Girl On the Train” is a thriller based on a true story. 5. “Steel Magnolias” starring Julia Roberts among an all star cast. 6. “Thelma & Louise” was a movie that showed me that women can be strong & powerful. 7. Lars Von Triers trilogy that came out in late 1999. Shows humanity at its rawest & purest. Worth seeing all 3 back to back.

How do you plan your goals?

My current goal is to become a therapist & I plan on reapplying for school next year. I’d like to work with people who have trauma by using art in various forms.

I plan on reapplying for school in the new year & this time it’ll stick. I made a few mistakes when I applied this year that I hope to rectify next year.

I believe in art therapy as a way for people to express their thoughts & feelings. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is talk about something traumatic.

That’s my goal for the moment & meanwhile I volunteer with people with early on set dementia locally. The setting has to do with art so it’s perfect for what I want to do.

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

It took me years to learn how to live in the now. I think considering how the planet is fearing we may not have that much time left. Hence, learning to live here& now is becoming essential.

I’d like to help people learn how to live here & now. By breathing & focusing on the here even when it’s difficult. By doing that you’re in the present & are stronger mentally.

Something else I’d like to do is to show people my book(s). As I’m a writer & poet. My book Greylight is something I’m very proud of & I’d like more people to read it. I’m currently working on my second book.

By being present I’ve been able to accomplish more & have told people about how essential it is. That’s my goal since I began writing on wordpress in 2007.
