Life's Simple Pleasures

From a simple cup of coffee to a walk in the park, there never ceases to be something quaint and easy to turn to. It could be re- doing your room, or painting a blank canvas, or even organizing your planner-  but to know that life has blessed us with an abundance of simple pleasures is truly a delight.

F.I.L.M.

I have come to realize that film is none other than a universal language; it speaks to the masses- bringing about joy, sorrow, laughter, tears, pain, discomfort and self realization. It is one way in which we connect our own thoughts and feelings to strangers, a plot, and a director's brilliance. There is power in film that continues to touch lives on so many different levels. Here are some films that have touched my own life.
