GOOP
Gwyneth Paltrow was a guest recently on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. During their conversation, her website was brought up, www.goop.com and I was instantly curious. Along with being one of my favorite actresses, she is also very inspiring as a person and woman. So, I went to her website to see what it was all about. It's comprised of her life - what she eats, where she goes, what she wears...etc. An expanded blog, if you will. A very motivational, thought provoking way to share her favorite experiences, places, food and thoughts. I signed up for the newsletter and just downloaded some healthy recipes to try this weekend. Check it out. www.goop.com by Gwyneth Paltrow.

Landslide
Last week, I was listening to some songs and came across Smashing Pumpkins version of the song "Landslide" originally written by Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac. I'd always heard this song on local radio stations and noticed it was sort of an upbeat song. I never really listened to the words. So, for the first time, I really listened taking in each word along with each beat. My cheeks were soon stained with salty trails of tears. For me, it was a song about loss; and whenever I hear a song about losing someone, I put myself in that situation. The outcome - quiet hysteria. This person could have lived their lives to the absolute fullest and then lost it all - it may have been like being reborn again but instead of starting fresh, you're left with decades of memories filled with the life you once embraced. I think it's about defeat. It's a moment of utter loneliness. But the fact that the song is sang in an upbeat manner is a conundrum to me. What do you think?
