It can be found anywhere,
far from where he lives
or a few feet away.
It is always on his doorstep.”

James Dean: Heartthrob and Rebel in One
Raised by an aunt and uncle in a rural town of central Indiana, James Dean learned early on sometimes Life is not fair. Perhaps he had a Death Wish or, on the contrary, a zest for living on the edge. This sandy-haired dreamer who often wore a pouty grin attracted men and women like a moth to flame. His love of fast cars, specifically a Porsche 550 Spyder, ended in a head-on collision that catapulted him into eternal legendary stardom. After all, James Dean died at the age of 24 years old with only three major films under his belt: “East of Eden”, “Rebel Without a Cause”, and “Giant”. Today, In Fairmount, Indiana, his legacy lives on. Visitors from all over the world flock to the hometown of James B. Dean to walk in the footsteps where he lived. Buried in Park Cemetery, his lipstick-covered headstone is physical evidence adoring fans exist half a century later.
Sight Without Vision
“The most pathetic person
in the world is someone
who has sight, but has no vision.”
~ Helen Keller
Night Air Smells Better
“I often think that the night
is more alive and more richly
colored than the day.”

Be Enthusiastic
“Ambition is the germ
from which all growth
of nobleness proceeds.”

Make Life an Adventure
“We live in a wonderful world
that is full of beauty,
charm and adventure.
There is no end to the
adventures that we can have
if only we seek them
with our eyes open.”
~ Jawaharlal Nehru
Manchester-by-the-Sea is a Charmer
You probably know the Massachusetts village by an Oscar-winning film of the same name that awakened the rest of the world to this sleepy little fishing community. But Manchester-by-the-Sea has been around since 1645. Located along the north shore of Massachusetts Bay, where quaint summer cottages become the coveted home-away-from-home for a season, history is still being made. Such notables include a poet, author, actor, politician, comedian, professional golfer, radio talk show host, and more. The town has several points of interest, like Singing Beach, that adds enough allure to keep people flocking back. Unless of course, you’re one of the fortunate ones who get to live there.
