It’s a Fine Line Between Excellence and Crazy

By Laura Moore on Monday, March 9, 2015

Yesterday I ran the Paris Half Marathon, and while I huffed and puffed and dragged myself through 21.1 kilometres of beautiful city roads, I occupied myself with primarily two thoughts.

I Want To Go Back To Kindergarten

By Laura Moore on Tuesday, January 13, 2015

Salsa Dancing, Saying Yes, and a New Life Philosophy

Before I set off on this crazy Parisian adventure, I made the decision to be open to new experiences, and when offered the chance to try something new, I would always say yes. It would be my own personal version of the film Yes Man, but without the manic Jim Carrey shenanigans that could potentially …

By Laura Moore on Tuesday, October 28, 2014

Earlier today, Marvel Studios gathered together a group of journalists and fans at the El Capitan Theatre in California to announce the films and release dates that will comprise Phase Three of their Cinematic Universe. Between now and 2019, 11 Marvel movies will be hitting the big screen, including a showdown between Captain America and …
