BRUCE JENNER…I AM A WOMAN.

BRUCE JENNER, The Olympic Gold Medal Winner at the 1976 Olympics has announced his inner soul is a woman.  I was captivated when watching this compelling interview with Diane Sawyer. The sit down interview generated over seventeen million viewers. He was sincere and genuine, emotional at times and very touching. Here is a man, and after sixty-five years of living, has finally told his secret. He mentioned telling all three of his ex-wives, his family, his children. He said, “There have been 432 episodes and ten seasons of his reality television show, and the one true story, the one story to tell, is something that he had to keep private.”

I felt incredible sadness for him. Carrying this with him for so long. He lived his life putting everyone else first. Now it’s time for her. Good for you to explore this side of yourself. I hope you find happiness and I hope you open the platform for others to be as brave and courageous as you are.

You’re just lovely.

Love,
Rose

Spring Joe and Rose

There it is. Between the Winter branches is the adorable Snowdrop flower. Here in the NorthEast, Spring is finally here. We had a dreadful Winter and a delayed Spring. The weather is finally warming up and everyone seems to be excited for the better weather.

I love Spring. It’s a time to renew, refresh and rejuvenate. Just lovely.

Me VS. Kim…Who Wore It Better?

Me vs. Kim Kardashian. Who Wore It Better? Yes, they are different dresses. Yes, she was pregnant at the time. However, it’s the same idea of being covered in a floral print. We both had the same idea. I love flowers and I love my dress. I love her dress too.

When we look at fashion, we need to not look only at the dress but everything that is accessorized with it. The hair, make-up, shoes, and jewelry  can make all the difference.

So, Who Wore It Better? I know my pick (wink, wink).

Love,

Passover, the Jewish holiday known as Pesach in Hebrew, commemorates the Israelites’ escape from Egyptian slavery and is observed with ritualized meals that consist of unleavened bread and many cups of wine.

2015Easter

On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is typically the most well-attended Sunday service of the year for Christians.

Today, both are very religious holidays fell on the same day. It is a day to be spent with family and friends to celebrate and to reflect.

Have a wonderful Passover and a Happy Easter.

A HARSH WINTER NEEDS BURLAP…

The Northeast had one of the worst Winters on record.  Every few days there was a snow storm, an ice storm or below average temperatures.  With Global Climate change, the Winter season, and even the Summer season, have been getting worse each year.

We need to protect our environment in every way we can. Being GREEN with less chemicals, paper products and even the landscaping. We need to protect our trees and bushes. I love trees. Burlap can easily protect against harsh winds and snow.  I love seeing this while I’m out on the East End of Long Island.  The homeowners really do care about their property. And with that the environment.

Isn’t this lovely?

Love,
Rose

The skip in my step, the holding of my hand, the scent and color of beautiful flowers given to me, your lips touching mine and a never-ending smile. Love can be wonderful. Love is you.

THE BEAUTY OF MAKEUP…

Eyebrows1

It’s amazing to me how makeup can transform your natural features. I wear a lot of eye makeup to enhance my hazel eye color. I wear pencil eye liner (two different colors), liquid eye liner, eye shadow (three different shades) and mascara. Let’s not forget the eyebrow. I was recently introduced to the “new eyebrow”. New to me anyway. It’s a dip brow and then I comb it in. It gives my boring thin eyebrows more fullness. I love it! In contrast, wearing little makeup is beautiful as well. But, I kind of like the whole smokey eye look. I even wear this look during the day. That’s me.

Isn’t it lovely?

Love, Rose

P.S. This post was written at the local Starbucks during the intense Nor’Easter that blanketed Long Island. How much fun it was to see all this snow. I’m a kid at heart. Always.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 2015

Monday, January 19th 2015 is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It is a day set aside to remember and reflect upon the life and times of the slain civil rights leader. Considering what a volatile year 2014 was regarding race relations in the United States, MLK Day 2015 holds perhaps even more significance than previous MLK Days. Remember to take some time out to do some soul searching and, above all, be kind to others, as we are all in this together. Rest assured, Dr. King would have wanted it this way.

BlOOMING FLOWERS…AND LOVE.

Just the other day, I created this blog draft with the headline of Blooming Flowers.  I was set to write about a beautiful bouquet of flowers I had received. There were two bouquets of blooming lilies that transfixed me every day just by watching bloom. But, after watching the 72nd Golden Globes Award on NBC last night, and with George Clooney’s speech, it came to me that blooming flowers are, in essence, Love. Seeing George Clooney, at age 53, finally find love is a wonderful thing. With his wife, Amal, in the audience, she was clearly smitten when he looked to her and said:

“Listen, it’s humbling to find somebody to love, especially when you’ve been waiting your whole life, especially when your whole life is 53 years. “Amal, whatever alchemy brought us together, I couldn’t be more proud to be your husband.”

That is a blooming flower. That, is Love. Love, blooming, growing and ever so sweet. To have love in our lives is the greatest gift of all.

Love,
Rose
