This week:
or 
as long as it has LOVE in it
Lost Soul:
Many of our souls were crushed with the passing of Robin Williams this week 😦
Lipton (Inside the Actors Studio) reflected on Williams’ undeniable talent, saying, “Great comedians have to be great actors. And what does an actor do? He reaches deep inside his soul…and brings out something deeply mysterious, a total surprise. He could do that. He could do that as a comedian. He could do that as an actor. And when he reaches out and brings that out it’s unique. It’s something we’ve never seen before.”
To celebrate his life while mourning his loss here is a link on the Best of Robin Williams

What a great way to affirm diversity, promote understanding and honor differences:
