Inspiration, Gene Wilder Style! #FridayFrivolity

Hello Friday and hello friends!

This week we wanted to honor Gene Wilder, the legendary comic actor and author, who passed away at the end of August.  We were so saddened by his passing and glad to take a moment to remember him.  After all, Gene Wilder will always be the ONLY Willy Wonka for me!  

There is SO MUCH amazing Gene Wilder material out there to choose from, but I decided to go with a few of his (or his character's) more inspirational quotes instead.  What can I say, I've been feelin' the inspiration lately.  ;)






Gone, but never forgotten.  Stop by Munofore, Babi a Fi, and Syncopated Mama for their homage to Gene Wilder too.



Now on to the link-up! :D

My own personal favorite:
I loved this post from Perfectly Imbalanced, "Throw that Pie Chart in Someone's Face!"  This line is my favorite:  Joy comes when we let go of the idea of always having to be perfect.   Such a wise perspective... and the rest of her post is great too, so be sure to go by and give it a read!

  5. As much as I'm a fan of the original Willy Wonka, Gene Wilder will still hold dear memories for me in Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, two of my favourite all time movies. Who could forget the Waco Kid or Frau Blucher? Thanks for the party girls. Have a great weekend.
