It’s the stories of the people we meet along the way—the trailblazers who shape our journeys, both literally and metaphorically. These are the guides, artisans, chefs, and custodians of culture who bring a destination to life, offering a glimpse into the soul of a place.

Who Is Reacher Season 3's Main Villain? Explained
With a number of new individuals to threaten the apparently unstoppable protagonist of the Amazon Prime series, Reacher season three is expected to be the most thrilling and intense yet. Many of Reacher's main characters parted ways at the end of season 2, but because the show uses an anthology style of storytelling, there is plenty of opportunity for them to return for a fresh adventure in season 3. Based on what is known about the third season, it appears that the show will continue to put Alan Ritchson's character Jack Reacher in ever-more-dangerous situations.

1923 Season 2 Release Date Confirmed
1923 season 2's release date has been announced. The Paramount+ series, which is a sequel to 1883 and stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, is a precursor to Yellowstone by franchise creator Taylor Sheridan. The Dutton family is the focus of the novel, which takes place in the year of the title, which was marked by the Great Depression, Prohibition, and the Western Expansion. Although it swiftly set Paramount+ records and led to a renewal, the impact of the writers' and performers' strikes has caused a delay in the release of 1923 season 2.

Learn to be Generous
This week I have been fortunate enough to spend a good deal of quality time with Miriam Margolyes. (Even though it was from watching Netflix on my tv set.) I had never known of her existence before she sat in my living room with me. (I'm an idiot, I know, for having said that, since she has been in countless films, tv, and theatre since 1969!) But keep in mind...my life was filled with raising four children, completing a nursing degree, working and advancing in my career, entertaining and spoiling twelve grandchildren to the best of my ability, and being a caregiver to my mother in her last years. There wasn't much time for movies.
