Great musical theatre, about Juliet not fretting when Romeo apparently dies but buoyed up by her friends and nurse’s goading she gains confidence, dates and a new lease on life! Well a happy ending after about 30 pop songs sung thanks to ‘Anne & William Shakespeare’.

The event this week at my church was a panel of 4 people discussing the future of women leadership in the Catholic Church. The discussion was led by Geraldine Doogue and was live streamed. I attended and it was a lively thought provoking discussion.
For me, the cartoon movie has a heron who enables the boy to enter other realms and with the heron he travels to the place of a god- like leader where he has a little insight into the leader’s ulterior motives and I think avoids being trapped in a negative leadership system. The heron represents positive and negative influences and assists upon a journey of choices to comment as needed on how it appears from a more worldly perspective.
Apart from having 2x Japanese Exchange students stay at our place in my youth, I worked briefly for a sushi bar. This gave my a little chink of light into a Japanese side of life, as the cartoon does too.
Once my sister and I had the pleasure of meeting Wendy Harmer in person when we were audience for the ABC Radio production of Thank God It’s Friday! In this video she speaks of the quirks of being an author of ‘Lies My Mirror Told Me’.
Great ‘doco’ type movie, with Dame Maggie Smith’s humour stripe. It showed the different stories of a group of women who knew eachother a little who went to Lourdes France for their cure, hailing from Dublin Ireland – whether their malady was obvious or not, and they grew in warmth and understanding of each of their true characters and what it took to be them.

It was great to feel I was contributing to the scenery of one suburban backyard by my having a go at painting!

Carrie- Anne Moss to Keanu Reeves in the above movie, the Matrix series’ final movie. I like movie soundtracks that move me in some way that’s positive. This is upbeat.
