I liked World of Ideas,

Laura Scott — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:27:43 -0600

I liked World of Ideas, which as I recall immediately preceded the Faith series. Just talking to people about interesting stuff.

I think his most interesting and provocative moments, though, were not on television but in articles and speeches directed towards the media industry, challenging people to do better, to recognize the conflicts of interest, to be the change the industry sorely needed.

Now the media industry is dealing with different kinds of disruptions much more powerful than Moyers' pokes in the eye. But still it's a shame to see him retire. I don't watch him a lot, but when I do, it's always interesting.

Numbers #1 and #2 Helped Me Survive

Moyers discussions with Joseph Campbell were appointment television for me. That series soothed my hungry brain.

The poetry series led me to Coleman Banks who lead me to the Sufi poet Rumi. Just last week I purchased and download poetry and have a book or two on Rumi.

Moyers has tried to retire before. I don't think he can stay away for too long. He'll pop in and out with a special or two. Better still, if he decides to teach or have a seminar with some of his friends and acquaintances I'd would so like to be in the room.

So much admiration

I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this book and sink my teeth into it. So many artists I admire, so many women I want to get to know!

Thanks for this, I didn't know about Kystyn's project - sounds amazing.

Well America may well as I have said previously begining to have to discuss the other as self... that is one of the things that is poignant in " Dreams from my father" Yes the difference btw language and commuication....Listening and Hearing chatter and genuine dialogue

Why only on your fridge?

Although I appreciate that it's usually the first thing you really register seeing in the morning, we took it beyond the fridge and painted a strip of magnetic primer in our nursery. This will allow us to post memories to our new additions wall that won't fit on the fridge!

Now I want to go camera happy although, in this age of digital photography, my trouble is not storing the pics in boxes as I don't tend to print many out anymore.

Thanks for reading, Sarah Butland www.SarahButland.com

I got a little carried away with this question

and made a video of all the stuff in my heart, on my fridge, and all over my house.

We Just Tidied Ours Up

JennaHatfield — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:40:10 -0600

And I hate it. I need more pictures and craziness. And artwork. And magnets that spell out naughty words. (What? We're the only adults that do that?)

I did leave up a picture from the newspaper of my husband fighting a fire, pictures of all three of my living children, the invitation to their party, the boys' newspaper clippings from their birthdays last year (to be replaced with their clippings from tomorrow and next Tuesday), their Christmas an Easter pictures, a few business cards, a picture of my best friend's son...

I guess there's still a lot there. I love having our life on the fridge door. Some people panic about fingerprints. I'd panic if there wasn't a billion and one things on our fridge door.

Thanks for giving me such a fresh way to think about language, performance and literacy!

I have my Caps pennant in my office.

It strictly serves as an impetus for my colleague the Flyers fan to mock me daily. We'll see who's laughing in March. It had better be him. ;)

I love the kids-eye-view artwork. Also turkey worksheets. Ah, memories.

You can see New Orleans on our fridge too...

The Krewe magnet and in the photos - plus the Mardi Gras mask magnet too, I guess. It's a special place for our family.

Thanks for the comment.

If the fridge is out...

lauriewrites — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:00:15 -0600

I'm sure there are other ways to brighten up the kitchen with personal things - a bulletin board or even that cool chalk paint. Some of the design blogs have that kind of inspiration for sure (incuding a few I linked in the post above.)

I keep some of my pictures out when I move.

lauriewrites — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:58:52 -0600

And one of the first things I do is scatter them about or put some of my favorite magnets on the refrigerator - it's a way for me to mark a space as soon as I get there.

I think it's important to feel at home as much as possible, and it doesn't take very much for that to happen. Good luck with the move!

I had no idea about the stainless steel.

lauriewrites — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:57:03 -0600

And so many people have stainless refrigerators now, which are very attractive obviously but boo for no fridge art. : (

I see other people have commented about the same thing so maybe it is just so.
