Favorite quotes II

I promised a follow up on the previous post I wrote about a month ago called, Favorite quotes. And here is part 2! Let me know (in the comments) if you want to see more of this kind of thing. I collect memes. I also make memes. It’s something fun and relaxing that I enjoy (In Joy) doing. Here’s to improving our meditation skills and lengthening the space between our observable thoughts.

If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio (and there’s a few minutes of BONUS info on the audio with some background too!):

I Am mantra

This is a test borrowed from a new connection within my Dr. Bruce Lipton community forum. And I’m going to play with saying it every day for the next 30 days. And then note any changes. And then (I’ll say it for) 60 days and note any changes. And then for 90 days and note any changes. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio–this time there are two. The first is the introduction and the second is the mantra:

Doing my nails with Color Street polish strips

I typically post all product reviews on my other blog site: Being Wholly Vibrant. But this time, since this touches on our plants and other personal information, I’m including it here (and I may join these sites in future days as well). If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio (and there’s a few minutes of BONUS info on the audio this time too!):

Before

My daughter is a Color Street nail stylist, otherwise my fingernails would always be bare. I don’t like the chemicals involved in the polish or the removers, hate the smell, etc. And Richard is very sensitive to smells too (and always complained whenever I would “paint my nails” so I just didn’t do it very often.

About 6 years or so (she can correct me if I’m wrong) my daughter began selling Color Street fingernail polish which is real polish but comes in the form of nearly dry nail strips that one “applies” themselves to their fingernails. And you can get as creative as you want with these. Of course, now, the line has expanded to include some products you can brush on (and yes, they smell). These include a strengthener, ridge filler, and two different kinds of “top coat” one applies after their polish strip has “cured.”

I wear one style about once a month on average and only keep 6-12 packages of nail strips in the house at any one given time. Guys, you can skip this article unless you want to order any for your wife/girlfriend or want to do your own nails–I do know a few men who paint their nails (and of course, rock stars do it too). Ha!

Before – left hand and our Christmas cactus and orchid plants in the background
Before – right hand and our Christmas cactus and orchid plants in the background
All the most recent products I bought: Nail Strengthener, Cuticle cream, Ridge-filling primer, Matte top coat, and Plumping top coat

I haven’t tried the Matte top coat yet because I typically wear glitter styles of the nail strips and I can’t imagine why someone would want a glitter polish not to shine. But I will try it eventually. It came in one of the multi-item packages I got.

After

This was the first set of strips I applied after using the Strengthener and Ridge-filler. It applied easily, but it was an older set (these work best when you use them within a year of purchase). This set was a bit sticky so I had to patch a couple of them.

What I hadn’t thought of but was happily surprised to find out, was that after I’d patched a couple of the nails (joining two strips on one nail), after I finished applying the Plumping top coat and it drying, I couldn’t feel the join at all! This was thrilling because if I can feel a bump or wrinkle I will end up picking off all the polish over the first few days, and that’s hard on one’s nails–it’s always best to remove with remover, even if you use non-acetone remover like I do. And I use the Color Street remover too because it’s less harsh and has an oily base to it so my bare nails feel so much better after.

Color Street also recently began offering some makeup, and I’ll post a review of their mascara soon over on Being Wholly Vibrant. And do comment and let me know if you’d like to see these kinds of reviews here or on the other site. Note: The other site has ads.

Wrapping up, I’d say if you haven’t ever tried these Color Street nail strips, try them. You might be pleasantly surprised. And you can always give these as a small gift to the woman who “has everything.” Haha!

Here’s a recent blog post I did over on Being Wholly Vibrant about Color Street’s new mascara: https://beingwhollyvibrant.wordpress.com/2023/12/08/did-you-know-color-street-sells-mascara-now/

Our Thanksgiving 2023

This was our first Thanksgiving in Ocala, Florida (and will probably be our last). Through no fault of anyone other than our upstairs neighbors (it’s more of a structural thing than them–except they work odd hours, coming in late and leaving very early in the mornings), and that the friends we have here aren’t any more social than the ones we left behind in south Florida. Sad to say. Granted, a few were ill and no one can blame them for not wanting to get together, but some didn’t even call or message. And I’m not the type to invite ourselves to someone’s house for Thanksgiving, even friends we’d had Thanksgiving with before.

If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:

It is what it was

If I sound a little sad or aggravated, I guess I have been. But I’m working on my DE-Program process (Integrating the Spirals) and “letting it go.” Writing this post helps. It is what it was. I know we’re all adjusting to a “new normal.” I just wish people wouldn’t ignore us/or anyone. I don’t think it’s healthy to stay “shut in.” Of course, I am all for doing stuff on my own, Ms. Independent here. But I think all this time during COVID has really punctuated the point of getting together with others. I love my monthly Zoom calls, but hanging out in person–well, there’s so much that could be said for camaraderie.

Who did you celebrate with?

Our little local restaurant (we walk to) was closed for Thanksgiving day, so we ordered our food the day before. And then, I reheated our food on Thanksgiving day. And it was all delicious–more on that and pictures in a few minutes!

Our longtime friend, Nancy, sent us a bag of organic lemons. I call these our Sarah lemons because they grow on a lemon tree I gave Nancy years ago when her daughter, Sarah passed away. And Sarah loved lemons. Nancy was going to drive a couple hours to come visit us before Thanksgiving but I was sick that day, so she mailed these instead.
The day before Thanksgiving we walked to our little local restaurant to have a cup of Christmas cheer with our bartender friend, Rob. My mom always used to have a cocktail on Thanksgiving and call it her “Christmas cheer.” So, this was a special pumpkin martini and I thought of her as I enjoyed it.
One of my mom’s handkerchiefs, the Avon nativity set (that my mom and I had both collected one each when she sold Avon), a ceramic angel that was a gift, and a glass Christmas plate. I’m also putting a Christmas globe out, with a blue Fenton Art Glass deer, but otherwise, that’s all I’m doing to decorate the apartment for Christmas.
I have to glue one of the gifts/hands that broke from one of the wise men. This is a closeup of the Avon ceramic nativity scene. I put it on our bar so I could meditate on it while I wash dishes in the sink. I typically have a Fenton candy dish sitting on mom’s handkerchief in this location.

I mused over some of the things I have from mom and dad, grandparents, and cousins. One gift I wear often is from my first cousin Greg–a garnet string of chip crystals. I’m always so thankful for the gifts from family (I have so few of those kinds of momentos). I love useful gifts or things I can wear to remember my loved ones. How about you? Do you do that too–think of your loved ones when you use or wear things they gave you? To me, that’s the heart of holidays like Thanksgiving.

Alone together

So, I called some family friends who were also alone for Thanksgiving, and enjoyed our phone calls, but Richard and I celebrated Thanksgiving alone this year.

I have a strong feeling that we’ll be up north with family next summer and thus, won’t even be living in Florida this time next year to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends. Oh, well! I’m glad we did it when we did a few years ago and will have to settle on simply being grateful “We did that then.”

We had turkey, stuffing (dressing), a very small amount of bourbon gravy, which was new to us, and green bean casserole, also new to us and very creamy and cheesy. We also had carrots and potatoes and a fantastic yam/sweet potato casserole with little marshmallows on top–I hadn’t had one of those casseroles in years!

We ended our Thanksgiving feast with a slice of chocolate cream pie (as I’ve been doing a lot lately reminiscent of my dad–he always loved a good chocolate cream pie. I found the Edwards brand in the store freezer case and have decided it’s the best for the price for us now).

What “food” holiday do you celebrate?

What similar holiday do you celebrate in your country?

I love Diwali in India. I’ve celebrated it several times with coworkers. It will be one of the things I miss when I retire. Actually, I’ve worked at home for the last 6.5 years, so come to think of it, I haven’t celebrated Diwali in person with anyone for a long time. I love Indian food, so it used to be one of the holidays I always looked forward to when I worked in an office–all that delicious food!

Giving thanks for ALL

I love gifts that keep on giving. Here’s the new crystal bracelet from one of my cousins who I met recently on Facebook–she makes these. I bought one to match for my daughter, and then one each for our three granddaughters in their favorite colors for Christmas. And I’m wearing Color Street polish on my fingernails, which I’ll post about next (my daughter is a Color Street stylist). I’m still juicing these lemons from Sarah’s lemon tree too. I think I will get them all used up before they spoil without even needing to freeze the juice.

Yours in expanding, thankful, revolving, spiraling consciousness,

To our better health, ease, joy, and sustainment in JOY!
