Dec 17th 2009 2:26PM I would have to say...Bach is my most favorite composer Yo Yo Ma has recorded. I was gifted the Yo Yo Ma CD, 'Bach: The 6 Unaccompanied Cello Suites' and listen to it often in solitude and among friends.
Win An HP ENVY 13 Computer! {Luxist}
Oct 1st 2009 11:51AM Having been stripped of practically all technology in my home excepting for this desktop by my children (two undergraduate and one in graduate school), I cherish the day when I can invest in a laptop and not feel guilty about the expense.
The HP Envy 13 fits the style I want and has the capabilities I need that this present computer lacks, mobility! The very first thing I would surely do would be to get my kids to sign a “hands off” agreement as they will definitely be envious of my new Envy. After I upload my manuscript, Envy will accompany me to the local café, where I will revisit a draft of my book stylishly hoping I am seen by this particular agent who I've heard makes frequent visits. I want to be discovered, not pursue. Envy and I will be unencumbered and free to travel anyplace we desire or have the wimp. If we connect, most assuredly the rest, as they say will be history my friends. Trust!
Giveaway: 10k Amethyst and Diamond Necklace in Time for Valentine's Day! {Luxist}
Jan 30th 2009 1:15PM I favor the Amethyst for it is a color of royalty; although in a material sense one could argue that I am wanting, I am rich within because as I breathe there remains in me the confident expectation that I will aspire to be better, to do better each and everyday.
I know am beloved. If the One I reverence wants me to do something that intellectually seems implausible, I must strive with all my energy to do it. It's about knowing who controls my outcome as I prepare for each day . It's not about entitlement or being born into it. It's about yielding myself to the possibility of refinement. Isn't this how a rock turns into a gem?
I am drawn to the beauty of the Amethyst for this reason.
