Besides composing lists of things she adores, busy girl Brittany Murphy can be seen in three new films this fall: Ed Burn's Sidewalks of New York opening this month, Riding in Cars with Boys opposite Drew Barrymore, and Don't say a Word with Michael Douglas.

Love. Loving. Being loved. Loving to love. In love. It just comes in all kinds of shapes and forms! How miraculous is that! Now love leads me right to my mom, who's my touchstone, and family(family of any kind). Keeping the Keepers, (you know, those rare gems of humanity who blindside you with their shine). Oh, embracing this extraordinary gift of life. Giving, receiving, sharing, laughing, learning, crying, singing, playing, laughing hard, learning hard, crying hard, singing hard, playing hard. Always having music around in any possible way. Appreciating things like duct tape, great hugs, silliness, Bonne Bell, Dr. Pepper, chopsticks, freedom, campiness, firm handshakes, people who look you in the eye, honesty, sorrow, peace, wild urges, bravery, crayons, and applause. Some other fantabulous things that spin my soul are delicious egg creams, jazz, The Little Prince, Jim Henson, dancing with absolutely no abandon, my mom's stuffed artichokes, and Bob Fosse. Oh my - real important stuff: not forgetting to breathe, sleep, eat, thanking God and the universe whenever possible, believing in magic, utilizing fear to my advantage, being healthy, and always keeping a sense of humor, knowing that poor is a state of mind, and basically to cap this up, the sky is the limit, baby. Because we only have one life this time around, so live it up.
