ALL THAT GLITTERS
I know you smiled when
you saw this month’s cover, at the sheer joy of the
golden girl captured so beautifully by Taili Song Roth. Golden
Globe winner and certain Oscar contender Michelle Williams
radiated pure, unalloyed delight as she was photographed amid a
shower of silver and white confetti backstage at last
month’s Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards
Gala.
In fact, it’s
major valley events like the film festival, Modernism Week, the
Desert Concours d’ Elegance, Fashion Week, the Humana
Challenge and BNP Paribas tournaments, the Coachella and
Stagecoach music festivals, to name a few of so many great
happenings, that can lend considerable sparkle to our days and
nights, and we miss something in life if we don’t go,
volunteer or give.
“All that
glitters is not gold” wrote William Shakespeare in
“The Merchant of Venice.” Yet, I contend that
it’s life’s glittery moments—the experience
of attending a great event, a celebration (with sparkling wine,
of course), a triumph, an anniversary, a complete recovery, an
epiphany, a graduation, an opening, a launch, or an evening
with good friends—that go a very long way toward enjoying
our lives.
I learned today that
“agora” is the Greek
word for marketplace, so agoraphobia is
literally a fear of the marketplace, of getting out and
mingling among your neighbors. If you’ve been staying
behind the gates, within the club or behind the front door for
the most part this season, come out and play! It will add
sparkle to your life!
