One of my all-time favorite movies is The Wizard of Oz. There’s just something about that whimsical world, more like alternate reality, that always spoke to me. Maybe it was because regardless of what the character’s outward appearance was—a scarecrow, tinman, lion or fake wizard—inside they were the same as when they looked just like Dorothy. Let’s not forget the songs were catchy and addictive and that Oz was beautiful to look at. Of course, our reality looks nothing like that, but isn’t it Continue Reading

There are little hints throughout the story that even as “friends” they are more than just friends. They each do little things for each other that Continue Reading
