Inspiration > Motivation. 100%. And you prove that, Sue. (Also, the janitor did not invent Flamin' Hot; and all the producers were aware of that as they proceeded with making the film.) xo

Got it Sandra Ann - thanks for setting me straight! I saw him speak in 2019 and that was his story at the time. The hot lights of Hollywood revealed the real deal I am sure!

No! That's the shocking part. The film went ahead as if it were a true story. Only one exec sort of stood by the fabrication, but there's all sorts of proof (that Eva Longoria was aware of) that it wasn't him, timelines and everything. But why let the truth get in the way of a good story?! LOL. xo

Sue.......Again, I look forward to the Luminist every Saturday morning. My passion was the love I shared with my sweet, sweet Joan. She was the reason i was able to "jump out of bed" trying to be inspired to make a difference in the world. We took four years to design and build our dream house together, and it is so sad, empty, and lonely without her. I asked my therapist what she was trying to tell me to do. Her response was, "I want you to get back doing the things you love." The thing I loved doing was being with my sweet Joan. The other things seem so trivial without her.

Thanks........Don Leedy, West Chester, OH
