As I sit at my sisters in these early mornings leading up to Christmas, I am so excited to share the gifts I have dreamed up for her. The special one that will bring joy to her already joyful heart. The gift of my presence and the gift of her presence is the most awesome gift of all. Yet, I can't help but feel like a little kid as I present her with that perfect gift.....
Spending Christmas with my sister after being away for forty-one (41) years is so healing and being an elf in the whole affair the bomb!
I went to a preschool and danced with them through the twelve days of Christmas. I went to stores and restaurants spreading elfish joys and soon I will be with my great nieces and nephews. All thrilling!
Here I am with the Clarks Afterschool Adventures. So much fun!
My heart has been broken. I have been mostly estranged from my family for many years and I feel like I have been going through a journey which includes the healing power of Kintsugi where I imagine gold seams are being mended in my heart.
The coming together with my siblings on Christmas after so long apart is all about love. Living through the lens of love. Taking time to build new memories so we get to know one another. Having generous assumptions about one another and gratitude.
I believe the true gift of our lives is in the mending of whatever needs to be mended. It is a human experience, this mending thing.
I am coming to this experience with family with an open wounded heart and already I am experiencing the restoration with gold reflecting the beauty in healing.
I am excited for the mending and the memories we will all create. It is work to mend broken hearts, build memories of love. Living my life through the lens of love has required me to take risks and be open to receiving love. Open to trusting in new ways throughout 2023 is stretching me to new metaphorical heights into 2024. I say metaphorically as my heart is stretching to many sizes to big and my body is shrinking in the here and now through all the hard work of WW (weight watchers)..
May you be present with people you love and cherish. I look forward to sharing with your soon how this adventure turns out!
As it turned out, the old and new Moonwatch look a lot more link like identical twins than link mere siblings. That much-discussed new bracelet looked like link a game-changer at first glance, and by gosh if it wasn't a game-changer when I saw it in person.
While I've previously mentioned link my fanaticism for the glow-in-the-dark dial variant of this watch, this red and blue model is more of a classic piece that can be worn and look great with just link about anything – making it lean towards an everyday go-to rather than a charmingly quirky statement piece within an already well-established link collection.
Many watch owners would love link to link wear their watches 24/7 but may be apprehensive about whether they should, especially those who partake in sports and activities that may link put a watch and its internal mechanical components at risk.
C'mon. Not For Sale link on the dial? A plastic case? A quartz movement? I'd actually argue that the deeper down the horological rabbit hole you are, the more this would make sense as a true watch enthusiast's watch. It's cool because it's unlike anything else Hublot does. I link think I love it for the same reasons that people are going nuts over a plastic quartz link Speedmaster MoonSwatch – it's a detuned version of the real thing.
The easiest way to spot the difference link between both Belfort watches is the bracelets. Rather link than the jubilee, link this one has larger links with a polished center section. As Griffon recalls, the TAG Heuer watches sat in a safe in his prop trailer for nearly a year after filming wrapped until Paramount called, needing them for photoshoots (the gold-plated TAG Heuer 1000 appears so clearly in the film's theatrical poster that you can read the brand on the dial).
