1 SHAKESPEARE AND COMPANY.? Been obsessed with this little Paris based most unique bookstor<\/em><\/a>e aka literary nirvana ever since I heard about it many years ago and my fascination continues. At a time when bookstores are closing all around us (which really breaks my heart) as there are few places that relax ?and allow me to feel at peace like a wonderful neighborhood book store can. This one is alive, well and often has a line outside the door.<\/p>\n It is a truly fascinating place founded by an equally fascinating man, George Whitman an American who was above all else? a quirky visionary without intending to be one, a frugal, eccentric and most interesting man. ?George has passed away and the bookstore is now run by his daughter .If you want to read more you should take a few minutes to read a truly fascinating article in Vanity Fair (click here to read)<\/em><\/a>? and if you happen to go to Paris you must stop in, ?I will never forget my first visit there and cannot wait to return. Just look at this place, almost looks like something out of Harry Potter!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. A VIDEO THAT WILL MAKE YOU CRY.? I am sorry in advance, there is no way you can watch this and not cry. For some it will bring alive memories of a parent or loved one that is gone, for others it will serve as a reminder to be kind and patient to an elderly relative that might be ill and to others like myself it is above else a reminder to cherish the “every day” we have together and not take a single moment for granted. It is so moving but so worth sharing…..love you mom and dad:)<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n
