OOTD – Tired Tuesday December 18, 2012

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

Normally I am positive and upbeat but today I feel zapped – my energy level is low and the high anticipation of Christmas and New Years has waned – I AM TIRED! It’s because of all the death and destruction around us…from Hurricane Sandy to the massacres at Sandy Hook Elementary School- I am praying for strength and peace for our nation.

Not that it makes matters worse but I just realized that I last wore this skirt on 9/11 (see here)…things have definitely got to get better, being on vacation next week may help.

Happy 12-12-12 December 12, 2012

There are so many interpretations for today, 12 12 12, but only one fact ~ none of us will be alive to see another repeating-number-date!

I’ve read that the number 12 is prominent, 12 is a number of universal imports seen in our culture; 12 hours of the day, 12 months of the year, 12 in a dozen, 12 zodiac signs, 12 apostles, and 12 days of Christmas. There are suggestions to enjoy the beauty of the procession of the December holidays, starting by lighting miracles in the days of Hanukkah, leading to the gateway day of 12.12.12; stepping through the threshold of December 21, the Winter Solstice; walking into the 12 days of Christmas, and finally embracing the seven principles of Kwanzaa for a renewed human experience.

Whatever the interpretation, I do plan on doing something special by being extra kind to someone and paying it forward, it will be a small gesture to make this day bigger and more significant than the others.

Are you planning or have you done something special to mark this day?

Don’t forget that tonight is the 12-12-12 Concert to benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy – wonder what Kanye has to say about President Obama?

OOTD – Throw On Thursday November 1, 2012

Hello friends and Happy Thursday, the 1st day of November 2012. Prayers still going up for all those affected by Hurricane Sandy, may God/Allah provide you with much needed strength during this time.

Speaking of time…it is now flying with less than a month until Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday of the year! This transitional weather makes it’s too warm for me to wear a coat but too cold for just a sweater. This morning I threw on a shawl which is actually a large scarf that once belonged to my sister, it’s more than 20 years old yet very timeless. Every time I wrap it around me I can still feel the warmth of my sister’s embrace – RIP Gloria!

OOTD – After The Storm October 30, 2012

Hello friends and Happy Tuesday. I hope and pray that anyone who was affected by Hurricane Sandy are now home safe and sound resting comfortably. We didn’t suffer any damage due to the high winds or heavy rains and for that I say, Thank You Jesus!!! We did however, lose power for an hour so my sons and I huddled around the iPad to watch Chicago Fire. As soon as the power was restored they scattered back to their video games, oh well, at least we had a little time together!

Cold weather storms are definitely diet blowers and we ate far more than we should have, so this poncho is covering the results. We had an appointment this afternoon and it was nice to get out of the house, cabin fever is no joke.

I love fall clothes that you can just throw on in dreary weather especially when they cover the results of overeating!
