Show & Tell: The Meaning of Life

Vanity Fair, one of my favourite magazines*, has a regular feature called "My Stuff". Famous people list their favourite things within different categories. I could of course write a serious post on Helena's last topic, about family and friends, love and companionship, children, religion, the universe, etc., but I thought I'd list some wordly things instead. Because in the end we live a life where "stuff" do matter to us whether we want to admit it or not. Unfortunately I cannot access my photos right now so this post will be image-less, unless you click on any of the links of course.

INSPIRATIONS
Favourite discovery: The blogging community
Who inspires you: People like Aung San Suu Kyi who goes to extremes for their cause

Favourite film: It used to be The Sound of Music for many years - this list also made me think of the song Favourite Things from the musical :) - but nowadays I don't have one
