Emily Rotter's blog

The way this blog written is what interests me, it comes from a personal, diary-like state which makes for an insightful read. You feel like you learn more about the person from what they don't say and the things you figure out just in the way they write things. I found some time of a day to wonder through it and explore the realms of someone else's (more interesting) life!

And hey! everyone wants to slip into someone else shoes once in a while. Indulge in living in the skin of another. Blogs can be great for doing this, especially photographic ones. Showing you the true reality of someones exsistence. This is one is riddled with honesty and snapshots.

Welcome to Emily Rotter.

Stumbleupon.com

Have 'stumbled' across something very interesting! It's called Stumbleupon.com and in my opinion a revolutionary way to use the Internet.

It works by ticking the categories that you are interested in and then Stumbleupon generates pages related to what you chose. So you can wonder through [ages and pages of things - as mostly happens on the Internet - but everything is related to you and your interests!

You can use it for fun, you can use it for work, it really can be utilised to almost anything!

If you like to browse through the web and are interested in different things that are happening in certain fields you have interests in then this is a must.

I have a wonderful friend who sends me the most inspirational things. I felt to share this one with you in the hope that it may resonate with you as it did with me. My thanks to you.

Dan Brown's 'The Lost Symbol'

Dan Brown's 'The Lost Symbol' is a fantastic read. Apart from the obvious fact that his books are hugely engaging and entertaining

- this one is no different - there is another theme of this book that interests me.

He deals upon the subject of Noetic Science and this has just captured my attention so completely. There are a lot of theories that

I believe to be true and have always done so - more in faith than in factual evidence. This book goes a long way to proving some of

those faiths to be truths. He passes over the idea of Entanglement theory. That we are all connected together in this whole unit

and that our combined presence has the ability to change realities. That the one most powerful gift we have as a human race is

that which we already hold. Our minds can create matter, our thoughts can change our worlds if only we were awake to be able to do

it. We have a wealth of knowledge hidden in plain sight and access to wisdom if we would only choose to see it. I have a lot of

belief in ideas like this and this element of the book has only helped to propel my interest and make this an even more exceptional

read!

Sally Mann - What Remains

Sally Mann's 'What Remains' is a very inspirational DVD about her life and her work. She speaks about her work gone by, her children and new work. It is a very personal insight, with views of the relationship between her and her husband and the effect of his illness in their lives. It is an interesting watch for anyone, even with no interest in photography, but phenomenally fascinating if you do happen to have an interest. Her life is inspiration to me. The idea that you can have the life you want - live in the country with a massive house and have your family so close while still pursing and achieving a respectable career is massively inspiring. The place of my life that I find myself in, I feel that the combination of these things is always a sacrifice that has to be considered so I am very welcoming to the idea that they can be combined harmoniously.

I would recommend watching it, it really opened new doors for me. It can be bought of Amazon.com (link here) but word to the wise, it is a Region 2 DVD so will be American and will need a multi-regional DVD player if your playing it in any other wonderful part of the world.

J. K Rowling Graduation Speech Harvard 2008

I have just come across this very moving speech by J.K Rowling at a Harvard graduation ceremony 2008. Her views on entering the world from the safe place of education and the impact that you can have on the world is inspiring and devout. Being a recent graduate myself, it reaffirms the need I have to succeed and questions what my version of success and merit is. I do believe that her speech comes from the heart and will impact for all that listen to it, whether they were there or not, intended for or not.
