Fabulous Phillips Collection

Silver!!!

Love it.

Look closely .... the piece at the foot of the bed.

It would make a super cocktail table.

And a touch of soft gold adds so much to a room.

Kristi And The Brown Shirts

Sounds like a Pop Band

But it is not.

I will inform you of what it is.

 At first, its members were Hitler’s personal bodyguards. Because he believed they were especially loyal to him, Hitler expanded the SS into the Nazi Party’s elite guard. Heinrich Himmler, as head of the SS, believed that its members ought to represent not only Germany’s military elite but also the nation’s “racial elite.” Each recruit was carefully screened, and each had to prove his family was “Aryan” dating back to at least 1750. Not only did every member of the SS have to pass the test but so did his prospective bride. The SS would grow to become one of the chief agents of terror and mass murder under the Nazi regime. The SS operated the concentration camp at Dachau that was opened in 1933, as well as the camps the Nazis built over the next 12 years. The SS also established an intelligence unit that spied on Germans and arrested, interrogated, and often imprisoned those they considered enemies of the nation.

In order to intimidate, attack, or arrest their opponents, the Nazis employed their own paramilitary groups and secret police. A paramilitary group is an organized military-style force that is loyal to a political party or private organization instead of a government. Chief among these organizations were the SA (Sturmabteilung, which translates to “storm detachment”), the SS (Schutzstaffel, which translates to “protection squadron”), and the Gestapo (an acronym of the first letters of Geheime Staatspolizei, or “secret state police”).

This is Jonathan Ross who killed Renee Good in Minneapolis. Right after he shot her in the head 3 x and the he called her a 'fucking bitch'.

“We do not say an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. No, he who knocks out one of our eyes will get his head chopped off, and he who knocks out one of our teeth will get his jaw bashed in.”

 According to Rudolf Diels, the chief of the political department of the Berlin police, that attitude could clearly be seen on city streets: “Not only Communists but anyone who had ever expressed himself against Hitler’s movement was in danger.”

Let's Take A Road Trip....Shall We ?

Have you ever wanted to run !!!!   ?????

Have you hungered for beauty and alone time ?

If only the road would take you to where you need to be

to find all the answers that you want to find.

Ahhhhh....

The answers......

Would a beach town do it ??

Rolling green hills perhaps ?

The mountains and the sea are the healing elements in my life.

Do you find the sea healing ?

Can you connect with your inner self when you are by the ocean ?

Let's not leave out the morning and evening skies.

It's when you see G-d.

Well, it's when I do.

I would love to drive in an open convertible down this road.

And have a fabulous picnic on the edge of one of the cliffs.

Would you ? 

And do the same thing here.

Doesn't this seem like a great idea ?

Who is with me ???

Green With Envy...

I Love the Green Glass Subways Tiles

Shakespeare uses green to describe envy and jealousy  at least three times in his works.

In Othello, Lago refers to the 'green eyed monster'.

In Anthony and Cleopatra, 

Shakespeare wrote of the "green sickness", meaning envy.

And in Merchant of Venice, he used the term 'green-eyed jealousy'.

I am so grateful that I do not suffer from envy. 

I never have really.

I can't imagine how horrible it is to live with!!

Have you ever known anyone who was really envious ?

I have, and it is such an ugly character defect.

Sometimes I think it is harder to live with someone who is envious

 than to actually be envious yourself.

It is SUCH A HUGE TURN OFF!!

And when you live with someone who is suffering with envy - 

(and now you are suffering, just being in the presence of an envious person)

And sometimes , when you really need to, You can't get away from this toxic situation 

unless you go to a hotel, and that is not practical long term.

My EX husband was always envious of certain members of his family 

that had wealthy Dads (his uncles).

He felt as though he got 'the short end of the stick'.

He felt as though he had it so much harder than his cousins had it - because they had The Rich Dads.

My ex's dad was the only poor Dad - 

His Dad however was the attorney for the Teamsters Union in NYC in the 70's.

He was always complaining.

Really ???? The attorney for the TEAMSTERS? NYC ?????

That sure looked good on paper to me.

UGH.

 

I used to say to him

 "just make it on your own

Like my Dad did."

You can do it!!!

Because he adored my Dad.

And my Dad was self made (and very cool) 

he rejected his wealthy fathers money because of all the strings attached to that cash.

And perhaps this Ex of mine had a high bar to pass in my eyes.

It was just that I hated the self pity!

Still do.

I remember that this was the beginning of the end 

of my respect for him.

And I think you know the rest!

When you stop respecting someone...it all falls apart.

I am still close with my sister in-law still to this day -

and she too can get hung up on what others have and she does not.

It's sad and Perplexing to me.

 I just can't wrap my head around being envious of others.

I just don't see the point.

Do you?

I guess that I am really fortunate that way.

Don't get my wrong....I have plenty of other short comings 👀

Back to design and GREEN! 

Personally I NEED GREEN in my life always.

When I lived in Maine I craved green 

when it was winter time... 

and the winter which was about 9 months up there. 

I suffered from depression,

I just need Rich, Rich GREEN.

Enough about me.....

I like the way these tiles and the combinations work together. 

They are different, right?

The sources for these tiles are at the bottom of the page.

 GREEN 

 represents life and abundance,

Happiness and hope, 

including new beginnings.

I have always has large portions of my home painted green.

It just centers me and calms me.

It gives me a feeling of well being....

Like everything will be alright.

As you know, you can't get that feeling from a bottle,

but you sure can from a can of the right green paint! 

But.....

Be cautious, 

Because the wrong green can ruin a space.💀💀💀

I love the color.

How about you?

I Don't Know How To Get Back

      I don’t know how to get back to blogging full time again.

      It’s so hard.

      It’s very hard when you really don’t want to hear yourself

      because you have heard it all before.                                                                       

      And let’s face it, it has not been all ‘happy talk’ .                            

The past few years have been spent having a knee surgery that did not go as well as I had hoped.

         Then I had the brilliant idea to rent my condo out in Boca Raton,

                and move to Maine to care for my mother.

                       That too did not go as well as expected.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

      Today I find myself living with my Ex husband in Lecanto Florida.

        I have my own room and am very grateful to him. 

                We have known each other since Junior High    

                AND he is the father of my only child.

                 Today I went on a job interview. 

                 

                  This job has nothing to do with my profession

                   It is a part-time office job at Church. 

                  Something without much stress I hope.

                  Oh, Did I mention that I had a stroke July 6^th 2024 ?

                      It was only 6 months ago. 

                      Don’t worry all my facilities returned after 3 months.

                      My sarcasm for sure! 

                      I am typing aren’t I ?

                How do I get back in the right frame of mind?

                 Any tips besides ‘JUST DO IT’?
