Peter is taking a Theology of the Body elective this semester. He told me that they watched this TED talk in class recently:
Which led to me telling him about former America's Next Top Model contestant Leah Darrow and her journey from fashionista to chastity speaker.
Which led to him telling me about actress (former Power Ranger) and designer, Jessica Rey, and her line of modest swimsuits inspired by Audrey Hepburn.
The things she has to say about scientific research, male brains, and bikinis is all new to me (around 4:30). National Geographic is one of her sources.
Did I mention that she is a former Power Ranger? That fact alone gives her a lot of credibility in my book.
Sweet Beth lost her little Rebecca Irene this week. I just can't help picturing Beth and Rebecca and thinking of this mama who lost her baby too.
This video of a young man with Down's Syndrome getting his college acceptance letter made me smile.
Lastly, I have a lovely conversion story to share with you about a couple entering the Church this weekend. I am always blown away when I see people make this journey from another faith or from no faith at all. Seeing new Catholics profess the faith at the Holy Saturday vigil is always a high point of this weekend.
Have a blessed Easter!
Ok, these are all wonderful and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI got to meet Leah Darrow and see her speak a couple of years back. I also got a chance to interview her for Brandon Vogt's blog. And, I met the black Power Ranger's parents.
So, if you want an autograph from me, you're going to have to get in line. Wait...where's the line?
Lol! I'll put your autograph with my Jim Gaffigan autographed poster and my signed Third Eye Blind cd!
DeleteBless you for this post. That TED talk was incredible and I can't wait to share it with my daughter. Thank you.
