A Tribute to Alan Rickman and a "Snape" planner Sticker Freebie Below.

But First...We are back after a long hiatus due to the computer crashing back in October because of the Windows 10 update. This update caused my screen to go blank when logging in and or the desk top was strobe flashing. This went on for nearly three months with no fixes working. Through diligence and the need of my beloved computer, I held on and finally one week before Christmas 2015 we finally had a fix and we are back! With I am happy to say no loss of all the wonderful graphics I share on here. So we continue on...my thanks for your patience. Now on to our featured presentation!

I was discussing Alan Rickman with a friend yesterday and realized there are a lot obscure parts in movies he played that are easy to miss or forget. However one must realize that when saying "oh yeah, I remember that film" that once mentioned even if his part may have been small, his presentation of the person he portrayed is unforgettable. This man began his career as a movie actor after the age of 40. This goes to prove that if you have the right mind set, you can do anything at any time. Don't let the world stop you. It's only over when you pass, as I regret to say this is the result as of yesterday for Alan, however he will be remembered by you, me, and the family and friends who were so lucky to touch his life.

One of the marvelous things about this man was his amazing stoic presence. Handsome, brilliant, crisp personality that shined through his acting. Some of the performances you may have missed were his on stage legacies, however here are some wonderful films he did that you may have missed.

Quigley Down Under: Staring Tom Selleck as Quigley and Alan Rickman as Elliot Marsten. If you have not seen it, I love it and it is one of my favorites. It was released in 1990 and Alan almost didn't take the part but we are so glad he did!

A recent short film with Alan you may have missed. I will not give anything away you must see it!
Among other films you may have missed are Galaxy Quest, A little Chaos, Perfume, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves,  Dogma, and Sense and Sensibility. Though this is actually only a small clip of all of his films that he has been in, it's a chance to see this brilliant man in a variety of situations. I highly suggest giving them a try.

Of course most remember him in the roll as Professor Severus Snape and  because of this we have for you today in memory of this wonderful man, a freebie Planner Sticker Printable for your daily planners in honor of Alan Rickman as Professer Snape.  Click Here.

We truly wish to thank you for visiting us today and we send a beloved adieu' and a hats off to Alan Rickman and offer our hand in fan support to his beloved family for strength and courage.

Lucy

This afternoon I went to go see the movie Lucy with Scarlet Johansson. Ok first let me say its' really no better then a C rating. Now from a graphics stand point there was some cool effects. They also had a way of referencing parts of the movie to the wild or old black and white films. Now that was excellent and I wish they had kept that up through the whole movie. Anyway this movie has too many loose ends and this doesn't make sense because... You know the type of movie. I was also sitting next to a couple where the woman kept gasping or saying "Oh No" through the whole film. Made me wonder if she ever leaves her couch.

The movie is rated R for a good reason though. Lots of killing, blood and guts. You know the good stuff that makes it an R. Which I have to say was refreshing since movies in my opinion have gotten a little too soft because Hollywood wants every dollar they can squeeze and you cant squeeze dollars out of the under 18 crowd unless they sneak in.

Well anyway none of this was really my point. What I did like about the movie is that it kind of coincided with my feelings of the natural order of the world. I have always felt that we are all one. Part of "The One". One energy flowing splitting off into more energy. When we die we don't really die but become essence, energy, free flowing to go anywhere no longer tied to one outlet but becoming one with "The One" Source.  Imagine being able to see feel and experience everything like a ray of sunshine traveling millions of miles to touch on a surface. It makes our lives seam so much smaller and minute in retrospect. Which is why we really need to treat each other better and with more respect. Our time here is so short compared to the world that goes on around us and in the time it takes to blink we are gone. Making this side of your life easier and more simple sometimes it just as easy sharing a smile or a coffee.

I for one am excited to share my minute time with you before I become something larger then what I can comprehend today. Take time today to reflect on the good you do, the positive you generate and squash the bugs of negativity beneath your boot.
