It seems fitting that Zippy and I
ended this extremely difficult year and decade
with a movie of hope:
MILK.
Here’s to all of us stepping up for what we believe in,
and making the world a better place.
Channeling a little Harvey Milk.
I wish you all a wonderful 2010
filled with
joy,
love,
laughter,
and lots of light.
See you next year!

Happy new year, Tracy. I’m glad you could begin it with such hope. I love Milk, too, and also find hope in how much it shocked my 20 year old daughter. She found it hard to believe that that much hate could have existed in a time her parents remember. Change seems slow to us sometimes, but it does happen. If we can all channel, as you said, a bit of Harvey Milk. Now that would be some resolution.

My older son loves that movie and formed a very, ahem, negative opinion of Anita Bryant. It’s good our kids see stuff like this and witness how individuals can make change.
Happy New Year, Jeannine.

Milk was an amazing movie! I’ve never seen Sean Penn better – it was like he had an inner light. I love that idea of us all channeling a little Harvey Milk in 2010! Here’s to lots and lots of light in this new brand year.
Love, hope, peace!

Sean Penn was extraordinary, wasn’t he? I think you’re absolutely right about that inner light.
