I really want to hate 18-year-old Alexis Jordan. I do. But I can’t.  Everything about her is enviable. This kid hit the genetic jackpot. She’s young, beautiful (with or without makeup) and she can sing her a*s off. Not to mention she’s incredibly, genuinely nice. If she’d told me she was rescuing refugee children in war-torn countries, I would’ve asked her to leave.

But alas, I’m a realist and reality is, Alexis Jordan is going to be a star. This newest signee to the Star Roc/Roc Nation label came into our office and charmed all of us with her poise, personality and rich, soulful voice. We were totally blown away by her a cappella rendition of her hit single “Happiness” only to be jaw-dropped by her illuminating remix of B.o.B.’s “Airplanes.” This girl can sang which is why I wasn’t shocked to hear she opened for Smokey Robinson at age 12 and was a semi-finalist on America’s Got Talent at 14. Her many YouTube videos (which have millions of views) display Alexis’s ability to perform it all—pop, R&B, even rap.

Check out Alexis Jordan’s performance below. I dare you not to be jealous.

40 Hauntingly Beautiful Photographs Taken In Graveyards

Last week, I spent a few pleasurably-languid hours reading Neil Gaiman’s “The Graveyard Book.” Gaiman’s wonderful tale of a young boy – Nobody Owens – who is nurtured and protected by the ghostly denizens of a graveyard, transported me into another world, and made me contemplate about life, death and the afterlife.

I had experienced the same feelings once before.  That was while reading Emily Dickinson’s  “Because I could not stop for Death.”

We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.
Since then ’tis centuries; but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses’ heads
Were toward eternity. (Lines 13-20)

Graveyards are oases of tranquility in this chaotic world. They are places where some people finally find – in Earth’s welcoming bosom – the peace and solitude they craved for their entire lives.  Is there really an afterlife? No one really can tell for sure. But it sure would be great if there were one.

Here are a few images inspired by the evocative imagery that Gaiman conjures up in his book. All the images were released under various Creative Commons Licenses by their photographers.
