  "Season 6 opens with “Valhalley of the Dolls” – as Charmed enters a new era, bolder, more fantastical, and no less touching.   After the tragedies of season 5, especially the departure of Leo – now an Elder and forced to leave Piper – we witness a completely different Piper. She is strong, seemingly emotionless, but is actually trying to hide the deep pain in her heart. That is also when Paige and Phoebe set off to another world – Valhalla – where Piper is being transformed into an emotionless warrior among the Valkyries. The warrior costume, the Norse mythology space, and the beautiful action scenes have brought a completely new color to the episode. However, behind it all is still the love of family – the irreplaceable sisterhood. Phoebe and Paige fight not only to get Piper back, but also to heal the wounds of losing Leo. And it is that love that helps Piper find her heart again. “Valhalley of the Dolls” is not only an interesting pun title (based on “Valley of the Dolls”...

  Scott McKenzie, born Philip Wallach Blondheim III (January 10, 1939 – August 18, 2012) He was best known for his 1967 hit single and generational anthem, "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)". He grew up in North Carolina and Virginia, where he became friends with John Phillips, the son of one of his mother's friends. In the mid-1950s, he sang briefly with Tim Rose in a high school group called The Singing Strings, and later, with Phillips, Mike Boran, and Bill Cleary, he formed a doo wop band, The Abstracts. In 1961 Phillips and McKenzie met Dick Weissman and formed the folk group, The Journeymen, at the height of the folk music craze. They recorded three albums and seven singles for Capitol Records. After The Beatles became popular in 1964, The Journeymen disbanded. McKenzie and Weissman became solo performers, while Phillips formed the group The Mamas & the Papas with Denny Doherty, Cass Elliot, and Michelle Phillips and moved to California. Phil...

Je bent goed zoals je bent. Dat is het moeilijkste om te accepteren wanneer je naasten je afwijzen of geen tijd voor je hebben. Je vraagt je af wat je fout doet en waarom ze geen tijd met je willen doorbrengen. Je zoekt het in jezelf. Je piekert en werpt zelfreflectie erop los, maar je kunt niets vinden. Toch voel je afstand. Lieverd, je bent niet fout en je doet niets fout. Niemand doet iets fout. Het is zoals het is en het gaat zoals het gaat. Geef het tijd. Weet dat er liefde is, en liefde zal altijd weer een weg vinden om harten die (tijdelijk) afstand namen weer bijeen te brengen.

She was born Shirley Schrift of very humble beginnings on August 18, 1920 (some sources list 1922) in East St. Louis, Illinois. Her mother, Rose Winter, was born in Missouri, to Austrian Jewish parents, and her father, Jonas Schrift, was an Austrian Jewish immigrant. She had one sibling, a sister, Blanche. Her father moved the family to Brooklyn when she was still young so that he, a tailor's cutter, could find steadier work closer to the city's garment industry. An unfailing interest in acting began quite early for Shelley, and she appeared in high school plays. By her mid- to late teens, she had already been employed as a   Woolworth's store clerk, model, borscht belt vaudevillian and nightclub chorine, all in order to pay for her acting classes. During a nationwide search in 1939 for  GWTW's  Scarlett O'Hara, Shelley was advised by auditioning director George Cukor to get acting lessons, which she did. Apprenticing in summer stock, she made her Broadway debut in ...

Austrian-British film and stage actress Elisabeth Bergner is the real-life person behind the character "Margo Channing", whose real-life story is told in the film 'All About Eve' (1950). This is a photograph of Elisabeth Bergner as "Gemma Jones" in Paul Czinner's British drama film 'Escape Me Never' (1935). Her signature role, "Gemma Jones" in 'Escape Me Never', was a character in a play written expressly for Elisabeth Bergner by Margaret Kennedy. Elisabeth Bergner played "Gemma Jones", first on the stage in London and then in the Broadway stage debut, and then in this film version for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. It is interesting that Elisabeth Bergner lost the Academy Award to Bette Davis, given that fifteen years later, Bette Davis would play "Margo Channing" in the film 'All About Eve' (1950), a character based on Elisabeth Bergner. In 1943, Elisabeth Bergner r...

Louise Brooks (November 14, 1906 – August 8, 1985) in an unusual photograph, one in which she is smiling. She appeared in silent films, beginning in 1925, then in Pre-Code Hollywood Films, then in European films, and then in post-code Hollywood films until 1938. In my opinion, her best films are the three films she made in Europe, in 1929 and 1930. My favourite of Louise Brooks’ film performances is as “Lulu” in Georg Wilhelm Pabst’s German silent film drama ‘Pandora's Box’, (in German: ‘Die Büchse der Pandora’), (1929), also featuring Fritz Kortner, and Francis Lederer. The film follows “Lulu”, a seductive young woman whose uninhibited nature brings ruin to herself and those who love her. It is based on Frank Wedekind's plays Erdgeist ("Earth Spirit", 1895) and Die Büchse der Pandora ("Pandora's Box", 1904). The same year Louise Brooks made another film with the same director. She performed the role of “Thymian” in G. W. Pabst’s Herman silent film ‘Diar...

  "When Shannen Doherty left Charmed – a chapter closed, but also a void in the hearts of fans. When I heard that Shannen would no longer continue in Charmed, I really felt a sense of loss. Prue Halliwell is not just the eldest sister – she is the soul of the first episodes, a strong, decisive but also extremely warm person. Looking back at Prue's journey, people see a character full of depth and influence, not only for her sisters in the show, but also for the audience – who grew up with the image of the three sisters fighting together. Shannen's departure left a void that is difficult to fill. Although the series continues and the other characters develop in their own ways, for me, the first seasons always have a special color – where Prue, Piper and Phoebe stand side by side in the first days of discovering their powers. Every time I rewatch the old episodes, my heart skips a beat. Even though I understand that every journey has an end, I will always thank Shannen for w...

Loslaten en verder gaan met jouw leven betekent niet dat je jouw vorige herinneringen moet vergeten! Stop met fosussen waarom iets is gebeurd. Het is nu tijd om die situaties los te laten. De echt mooie dingen in het leven laten zich pas zien zodra je het lef hebt om afscheid te nemen. Hou niet langer vast wat veel energie kost. Het is net zoals met fysieke inspanning, iets wat je lang vasthoud wordt ook steeds zwaarder! De negatieve flow waarin je zit heeft een negatieve uitwerking op jouw lichaam en op jouw geest! Kies je voor loslaten dan zal je ruimte ervaren waardoor jij weer terug komt in jouw kracht!

De eerste stap om welke droom dan ook in vervulling te laten gaan is erin geloven. Geluk en zelfvertrouwen komen voort uit vertrouwen. Je dromen en jouw verlangens zijn met een gegeven. Geloof in jezelf. Wat houdt je tegen? Laat je angsten los en besluit je hartsverlangen te volgen. Je ziet deze kaart omdat je geleid word naar het vervullen van je levensdoel. Ga blijmoedig en speels om met deze transformatie. Zet je intenties en ga deze delen met de mensen die jou steunen op jouw pad. Het is nu tijd om te gaan lopen. Je hebt al te lang jezelf opzij gezet. Het is nu jouw tijd, verleg je grenzen en ga je dromen en verlangens achterna!

Maak je vandaag niet teveel zorgen over morgen en plan niet teveel vooruit. Hierdoor geef je immers veel te veel energie weg aan zaken en gebeurtenissen die waarschijnlijk toch helemaal anders lopen. Geniet van vandaag, laat morgen je verrassen en geloof dat uiteindelijk toch altijd alles goed komt.

Birth of Sophie of Württemberg, Queen of Netherlands . Sophie was born in Stuttgart to King William I of Württemberg and Grand Duchess Catherine Pavlovna of Russia, the fourth eldest daughter of Tsar Paul I. Shortly after Sophie's birth, her mother died, and she was cared for by her aunt, Catharina of Württemberg. She had a close relationship with her father, and was given a broad education. Through her progressive father, Sophie came in contact with liberal ideas from her early youth, and supported democracy rather than royal absolutism. Sophie married her maternal first cousin, the future Prince of Orange, and later King William III, on 18th June 1839. After the wedding, Sophie and William settled in the Paleis aan het Plein, in The Hague. The marriage between Sophie and William was arranged, and never a happy one. Their relationship was not improved by the birth of their children, whose upbringing was a constant cause for conflict between their them. William was constantly u...

JE BENT MAGISCH Geniet van het leven. Schijnen. Laat je niet beperken door de regels van anderen, overtuigingen van de samenleving, je ego, de angsten die je met je meedraagt. Wanneer je het gevoel hebt dat je niet genoeg hebt gedaan, niet bent geslaagd of dat je de cyclus opnieuw herhaalt omdat je niet in staat bent de sprong in het diepe te wagen en de dingen op een andere manier te doen of je angsten onder ogen te zien, zet jezelf dan niet neer en luister niet naar de innerlijke criticus die je zal vertellen wat je niet goed hebt gedaan. Wees dankbaar voor alles wat er is gebeurd en vergeef jezelf dat je zelfs maar gelooft dat je niet goed genoeg bent. Maak verbinding met je ziel en vind je ware zelf om te beseffen wat er echt toe doet. Zorg ervoor dat u zich goed voelt, laat uw licht schijnen en zie, voel en deel de magie om van deze wereld een betere plek te maken.
