Re:High Hopes Date Posted:18-04-2016 07:51Copy HTML Maria I suppose this is the thoughts of all the young ladies that take up ballet and very few ever make it to number one.
But as in life, if you don't try how would you know whether you could or not...Tony (potleek)

Re:High Hopes Date Posted:27-04-2016 10:12Copy HTML Thanks guys, I loved the art work and the dreamy look in her eyes. Innocence has its virtues. When you don't know, and you work at something, you eventually get stronger emotionally and you accomplish more than you realize. Audrey Hepburn wanted to be a ballerina, but was too tall, but she did become something, by acting she achieved success. Mariaxx "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."

Re:High Hopes Date Posted:28-04-2016 03:29Copy HTML You chose one of my all time heroines, Maria, loved her life story, admired her success but it was a fairly easy transition from an aristocratic chorus girl in London (after the ballet) to her instant Hollywood success,
she didn't have to do much but be herself, the beautiful daughter of a Baroness ... and a rather upper class family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Hepburn Read 'The Early Years' section, Maria, I found it very interesting, Zy x Opposites exist by virtue of each other

Re:High Hopes Date Posted:28-04-2016 06:35Copy HTML Hi Maria I loved this. There was so much I wanted to do as a child. I went to ballet, only once I think, but I went! Lol. My Mum always said that I got bored of things too quickly - which is true, I do - and to be honest, I couldn't see well enough at the time to do anything that involved having to take my glasses off. So I was a slow swimmer, couldn't do gymnastics... But at the moment I'm trying to make a hobby out of relaxing more! :) I liked this. I think kids needs to be allowed to dream more nowadays.

Re:High Hopes Date Posted:29-04-2016 03:49Copy HTML Thanks Zy and Fluff. I always loved to do things that was impossible for me to attain. I liked to dance, sing, become something. But never had the knack or courage to do so. So I chose the easier course. I got married and learned to cook, take care of the household, did everything. My husband brought home the pay check and ordered me around. I had 7 kids with him, took care of them and taught them to be themselves and independent. I finally got a job and learned more than I could imagine besides meeting successful people. I just worked and did what I had to, to make a living. Thanks for sharing and caring.

Re:High Hopes Date Posted:29-04-2016 08:01Copy HTML Did you know that Audrey Hepburn's father would have nothing to do with her? No matter what she did, he wouldn't acknowledge her. Poor thing, she was beloved by all, but the one that she wanted it from, the most. Mariaxx "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."

Re:High Hopes Date Posted:29-04-2016 09:16Copy HTML That's why I sometimes include a link for interesting informaton and facts about something/someone, Maria,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Hepburn this one tells you a great deal about her earlier life, family and her rise to stardom (and of course, her father) particulaly half way down in the section 'Early Life', Zy x Opposites exist by virtue of each other
