Life lessons learned from Up!

Tonight I had the privilege to present with other marketing/pr professionals to the University of Dayton PRSSA students (Public Relations Student Society of America) on how our organizations use social media. I always learn something new and am inspired by others.

I have not blogged in quite some time for a few reasons - busy, lack of feeling creative, felt like I couldn't bring anything interesting to the table. I was reminded again that I don't have to be an expert on every topic - that I can use my blog to just write. Yes, just write.

This past weekend I watched 2 1/2 movies - I haven't finished August Rush yet. If you have not seen the movie Defiance, please do so. It is a true story about the Jews during World War II. Wow.

Then I watched the Disney movie Up! I've heard so much about this movie and couldn't wait to see it. (I don't go to the theater very often, so I waited until it came out on DVD). Another amazing movie about life, love, loss and moving on. I think we can all learn a lot from Carl and Russell about unconditional love and determination.

Two inspiring movies that can teach you so much. It's truly rare when I can find that.
