Nora Ephron

From 1988 when I first saw When Harry Met Sally (I've now seen it hundreds of times -- seriously) Nora Ephron has been my idol. Her wit and intellect and independence have been constant inspirations to me. Aside from the perfect When Harry Met Sally, her other films, screenplays, and books have served me well when I needed to be cheered or inspired or consoled. Her words and humor always the perfect dose of medicine. 

“You can settle for reality, or you can go off, like a fool, and dream another dream.” ― Nora Ephron

FIGHTER

It is Wednesday and we are halfway through the week. I don't know about you but I could use a little inspiration to get me through the next few days and into the weekend. (and then, for me, a month of international travel - more about that another time) So, to get us all in the fighting spirit  here are some iconic images from one of my all-time favorite movies - ROCKY! I love the story of Rocky Balboa. The ultimate fighter, both in the ring and out. 

This reminds me of George Bellows paintings from the early 1900s.

I channel these images on my weekly runs. Totally inspiring. 

Everyone needs a good coach.
