Now, For a Proud Dad Moment: My Kids Bringing Beauty Through Cello

I have a lot of reasons to be proud of my kids. The two biggest ones for me are when they do sudden acts of kindness and when they embrace the arts. Kindness is huge, but one of the things that feeds the soul and I think makes us better people is the arts. The arts, be it paintings or music or creative writing or movies, are the heart and soul of a society and culture. It is a major part of what defines us as people, and says so much about who we are. Delving into creativity to craft something beautiful is a huge part in uplifting our spirits and nourishing our souls. I feel the act of creating beauty compels us to be kinder or better people.

To be fair to the 2008 version of me, unless they are prophet or owner of a magical working crystal ball, everyone has some big surprises in store for them as they live this thing called life. After 14 years, I feel like I am learning a few things and may be a tad smarter and more aware, so these are 14 little tidbits that I would share with the Christopher in June 7, 2008, if I can ever find where I hid my DeLorea

Revisiting the Collective: 10 Unforgettable Weddings in Pop Culture

(CS: I was working away on a way-overdue review, but the delightful distractions that is family being home on the weekend kept slamming against me. I'm now contemplating if I try to write three separate reviews for the movies that I've now seen a week or more ago, or just package them into one article and move on with my life. For now, in order to keep posting something every day, here is another Collective Publishing pop culture column that has a home again, along with a few modern thoughts. Originally posted in June of 2013.) This past weekend was my fifth wedding anniversary and my brother got married, so weddings are a bit on the brain at the moment. (CS: This June will be our 14th wedding anniversary.) Luckily, weddings are a pretty major thing in pop culture. Here are 10 of the most memorable weddings. 1. Prince Charles & Diana Spencer (July 29, 1981): It was a massive media event when Kate Middleton and Prince William got married in 2011, but it wasn’t ever la
