Who is JJ?

I am a huge fan of JJ...I love everything about her... but I don't think I could possibly come up with the words to describe her. I would always fall short of touching on the uniqueness that is foundational to her spirit. But alas, in her latest blog post entitled "About Me" she has given us a most beautiful insight into her soul. After viewing her post, and lavishing in her beauty, try creating your own personal photo journal that allows your essential spirit to shine through. I'd be thrilled to post it here if you'd like to share.

Unattainable Standard of Beauty

An highly acclaimed documentary film entitled "America the Beautiful" is coming to Chicago for one night, Tuesday, December 9 at the Music Box Theater.

"America's obsession with beauty is the subject of filmmaker Darryl Roberts wide-ranging investigative documentary. Using archival footage and interviews with image-makers and beauty battle victims, Roberts reveals how how media, marketers and retailers manipulate women into thinking they must be avid beauty product and service consumers in order to measure up to unattainable standards set by magazine editorials and advertising. The film strongly advocates for women--and the men in their lives--to accept and love themselves as they are." (Jennifer Merin)

There's a good review of the movie on this Gurze blog. Anyone want to carpool?

Poolhouse Guru

I just viewed a new video from a guy named Poolhouse Guru...a most intriguing name. He's a friend of a friend but I've never had the pleasure of meeting him. "I am is my name" is a video filmed in Chicago describing the great love of God for each and every one of us. Let me know if you can figure out what the name Poolhouse guru means.
