December post Goodbye 2006.If you know me, you know why the ruby slippers are up.
The Wizard of Oz is my all time favorite movie.The Virtues of Wisdom, Benevolence, and Courage:
The theme in The Wizard of Oz has to do with the virtues of wisdom, benevolence, and courage. These three virtues are 'universal' and are highly regarded in many cultures and religions including: Native American Indians, Christianity, Orthodox faiths, Shintoism, Eastern philosophies, Sun Tzu's Art of War, the writings of Socrates and Aristotle, and many others. The reason why they are so important is because they embody moral values and belief systems that most people strive to achieve.
I WILL LIST MY FAVORITE LESSONS!Enjoy:
· Imagination can take you anywhere - even over the rainbow
· Sometimes you have to leave home to find it
· Follow the Yellow Brick Road, but always be ready for a detour
· Faith, hope and love can work wonders, but ruby slippers can't hurt either
· When friends stick together, they can work miracles
· Having the courage to ask for what you want is half the battle
· "Hearts will never be made practical until they are made unbreakable."
