I've always admired Anderson Cooper and his courageous journalism for CNN and Anderson 360. The places he had traveled to and the stories and images that he has brought to the world are incredible.
I was watching the new Anderson Cooper talk show this week and he interviewed his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt. I didn't even know that she was his mother!
Gloria Vanderbilt has endured a fascinating life. She is an iconic heiress, a painter, actor, must, designer, model, writer, entrepreneur and a survivor. There are a number of people I would admire for their grace and GV would have to be added to that list.

On the show, Gloria Vanderbilt said something that resonated in me.
"We are not put on this earth to see through one another, but to see one another through." Unknown
Gloria has it right we need to be mindful of what we do with our time here.
I found this site with a couple of other quotes there were interesting and inspirational.

"In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport." Julia Child
"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost." J.R.R. Tolkien
"A good traveler is one who does not know where he is going to,
and a perfect traveler does not know where he came from."
