“The most important thing for me
is to walk the little alleys
of the city, to find the little alcove
where someone is cooking something,
and just watch them do it.
That’s my idea of fun.”
~ Yotam Ottolenghi

A Tower of Strength
“A well-ordered life is like
climbing a tower; the view
halfway up is better than the
view from the base, and it
steadily becomes finer as
the horizon expands.”
~ William Lyon Phelps
Be Alone With God
“I love when you bow in your mosque,
kneel in your temple,
pray in your church.
For you and I are sons of one religion,
and it is the spirit.”

Intimate Spaces Widely Shared
“Benches and books have things
in common beyond the fact that
they’re generally to do with sitting.
Both are forms of public privacy,
intimate spaces widely shared.”
~ Mal Peet
Playing the Piano
“Prayer is when you talk to God.
Meditation is when you’re listening.
Playing the piano allows you to
do both at the same time.”
~ Kelsey Grammer
Love the Western Genre
“It is easier to get an actor
to be a cowboy than to get
a cowboy to be an actor.”
~ John Ford
Come and See
“Little children,
you are from God,
and have conquered them;
for the one who is in you
is greater than the one
who is in this world.”
~ Jesus Christ
Hands Help Others
“As you grow older,
you will discover that
you have two hands;
one for helping yourself,
the other for helping others.”
~ Audrey Hepburn
Memphis is Aglow with Holiday Spirit
Memphis is Aglow With Holiday Spirit! Take a romantic stroll down historic Beale Street where twinkling lights of towering Christmas trees become the backdrop for ancient evenings and distant music. The clip-clop prancing of horse-drawn carriages fulfill childhood dreams with fairytale endings. If you’re lucky, you may sneak a peak at whimsical gingerbread displays where marching ducks waddle in tune down gilded staircases lined with curiosity seekers. How do they do that? Outside again, parades abound. Holiday happenings and light shows illuminate the night with plenty of fanfare. Soak up the allure before checking out live entertainment in open-air courtyards filled with soulful blues. Dance a little. Laugh out loud. These are memories that linger on. Well done, Memphis, Tennessee.
