I need that up on my wall: “Ignore the paper tigers.” Good reminder!

I actually need to learn more about here life, I only know the basics. Have you seen the movie about her life? Maybe that would be a good place for me to start…

I’ve seen “Amelia” with Hilary Swank and Richard Gere and really liked it. Of course it’s sad, but it’s well made. When I was a little girl I wanted to be like her and read all the children’s books about her. I think I need to read about her again and become inspired once more.
