An absolutely amazing movie from Walt Disney. Based on the true story of Sonora Webster, who runs away from home to join a carnival. Sonora is determined to become a diving girl, a performer who rides a trained horse as it dives from a high platform into deep water. She refuses to give up no matter what obstacle gets in her way and keeps fighting for her dreams.

This is the ultimate story of holding onto your dreams. Sonora is a very stubborn girl. I am certain she heard the phrase "Stubborn as a mule" often. She would do anything within reason to be able to fulfill her dreams. No was not in her vocabulary. If the real woman was as she was depicted in the film she was a handful. However, commendable in her stand to reach for her dreams.
In the movie she is an orphan along with her sister. Their Aunt took them in as the depression was in full swing. Sonora being a stubborn and set in her ways girl caused a little more mischief than the Aunt cared to deal with and intended to send her away. She opted to run away and try to be a diving girl instead. When she gets to the carnival she is told no. She refuses to take no as an answer and finds her way in to helping at their stables. The owner's son falls for her and will try his best to help her get what she desires. At least until he has a falling out with his father and leaves promising to write her. The father will not let Sonora know over the time that passes that the letters have been coming.
Eventually she will get to be a diving girl. Her horse is Lightning. Lightning is too ill to perform so she uses Red Lips instead. Red Lips will get spooked on the jump causing the jump to go wrong. The impact being Sonora's eyes were open will cause her to go blind. She is told it is permanent and that she will not be able to dive any more. Once again she refuses to take no as an answer and will find a way even if it kills her to do what she loves and live her dream.
It was overall a wonderful movie. Heartfelt and powerful in the message of don't give up on your dreams.
In IMVU I went with cookies for the bakery. Here is how they turned out:
Heart shaped cookies to show the love shared on a wedding day. Each cookie decorated to look like the bride or the groom. The groom in a black tuxedo trimmed in white with white buttons completed with a white shirt with black buttons and a black bow tie. Each bride showing the sensual bust line in the heart shaped bodice with a pink flower to enhance the bust line and a lovely strong of pearls.
Perfect for a bridal party or even a wedding favor. A must have for any bakery.
