For those of you who find yourself wandering around, lost in the space of your own jumbled mind or just lost in the swirl of Substack, Kristi Keller is a remarkable guide! My Substack (pending ) GRACEFULGRIT publication is literally lost in unidentified cyber clutches. The original tangle is probably my doing but Kristi has been heroic in working behind the scenes to sleuth out the issues. She is a commendable example of GRACEFULGRIT in action-kind, proactive and unflappably strong in applying herself to help me.
I wanted to share (actually SHOUT) my appreciation for who and how she is!
Julie, thank you so much for this! I know how frustrating it must be...we've been working on this for months lol! But I have faith we'll get to the bottom of it!
I would be Pretty Woman, search for the fairtale ending.... seen that film millions of times and know all the words! lol! but its my dream, I'm a pure romantic
Yes to winging it! Peopl who can make 5 years plans mystify me - I rarely know what I'll be doing next week and I'll actively undermine any attempts to make my life predictable.
This is so, SO good, Kristi! Mine has always been Raiders of the Lost Ark and I'm Indiana not Marian - even though she's definitely a badass. I love the whole concept of this post and I'm taking this outlook with me through the rest of my week. 💟
I love this prompt! I need to think about my blockbuster movie, so I might just have to take you up on writing about it. 😉 Meanwhile, this is a fabulous image (and, I'll venture, metaphor): "All the classic badasses pause on a hilltop to take a swig of rum and wipe the dust from their brow."
I was a CPA for over 60 years but I certainly wasn't anything like Ben Affleck as the savant in the movie The Accountant. But you can bet your cotton socks that I wish I was.
Now, my movie would be an essay writer stumbling about wondering WTF to write about
It is! My kids watched 17 billion times. So I know it well now. She's a princess and she needs to save her island from destruction, so she goes on this voyage adventure across the sea to subdue a demigod for help and be a hero.
If you see a fork in the road pick it up!! Love this. Great life lesson. My life is usually the heartfelt comedy, which tends to be my favorite genre. These are the screenplays I’ve written. Still shopping one.
I don’t miss paper maps but I’ve become too reliant on Google maps even to get home.
I sometimes think back to life before GPS and wonder how the hell we actually survived! I mean, I moved to a completely different (huge) city for college in the 90s and thinking back, I don't know how I ever found my way.

I have faith in you- and shared faith we will get through this together.
Put my AirPods and music blasting in every morning at my laptop either like MR Robot, or like Rocky at the gym.
Haha nice. The Rocky fantasy a lot of men have! 😁

Such a great movie. I don't even know how many times I watched it back in the day 😊
Yes to winging it! Peopl who can make 5 years plans mystify me - I rarely know what I'll be doing next week and I'll actively undermine any attempts to make my life predictable.
Hahaha yes!! 3 cheers to winging it!
Maybe I’m Will Smith in Pursuit of Happiness? Trying to figure it all out while life is bursting at the seams. Such a great activity!
Aww man, that was such a hard one to watch. But well worth it! Aren't we all just trying to figure it all out? ❤️
True! None of us know what we are doing. Some of us just look a little better or silly while we figure it out.

Excellent!! Indiana Jones is a legend...no doubt you'll full those shoes well!
I think my movie would be The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Loved this story, and the Bird Box bit was really funny.
I've never heard of that movie but it sounds like something I'd enjoy. I'm gonna look for it later tonight.

I super hope you do take a swing at this prompt! I'd love to read it! In the meantime, I'll see you on the hilltop.

Hahaha I think a LOT of us are starring in that movie!
I'm pretty sure I'm Moana, haha.
Moana has a great soundtrack! I think Kristi would like "How Far I'll Go":
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me
And no one knows how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know
If I go there's just no telling how far I'll go
That soundtrack is awesome. When I read those words I heard the tune. Instant smile 🙂
I've never seen it, no idea what it's about. Isn't it a Disney movie?
It is! My kids watched 17 billion times. So I know it well now. She's a princess and she needs to save her island from destruction, so she goes on this voyage adventure across the sea to subdue a demigod for help and be a hero.
Oh so you're a hero! 😁
My granddaughter has watched Frozen 17 billion times. I related most to Elsa, living in solitude in a winter wonderland lol.
Okay, then- I end up in one of Mel Brooks' movies (at least not one of the early ones; in those days he was a bit of a tyrant as a director).
I'd probably end up in an Alfred Hitchcock, accused of a crime I didn't commit....
🤣🤣 Omg David! The beauty in this exercise is that you get to CHOOSE! Don't choose to be falsely accused 😁😁

Remember the Thomas Guide???
No?? What was that? I remember paper gas station maps 😂
It was a huge spiral bound booklet.
I might actually be living out "Auntie Mame" — a movie that is definitely vintage, but then so am I. What a great concept, Kristi!
Hmm, I've never heard of that movie. I'll search it out on YouTube to see if there's a trailer.
I love that you use the word "vintage" to describe yourself. It sounds very classy.
Just like fine wine, baby :-)
Great post as always! Not sure which movie would be mine right now. Mid-life crises/ spiritual awakening lol. (Courtesy of Brene Brown).
That's a tough one. I'm sure you've watched something that you're like, wow...that's SO my life!
Not exactly Eat, Pray, Love lol. It's a head scratcher, for sure.
The movie that has played out for me is Dirty Dancing and I play the part of Baby.
Hahhaha! Just kidding! Who the heck didn't want to dance with Swayze like that?!
I love this piece so much! Travel without a map because control is an illusion. Be sure to help others along the way.
Back in the day I think every girl wanted to be Baby! That movie was so epic in its time!
