Laughter and Tears

The holiday season has emerged and it seems to have come upon many of us like bolt of lightning, It was on my "holiday season" heart to share...

Personally I am not sure how I feel about this holiday season with emotions of sadness but it has made me think about "balance."

It seems as the years pass I become more aware of others and their emotional state or needs, may it be due to finances, a loss, joy and giving. Which brought the question to mind, when one experiences a loss does another joy help keep the balance?

The Christmas season is about joy, togetherness, laughter and celebrating in giving and LOVE, does this awareness help to keep balance in the world, and with many in joy, eating, shopping, celebrating love does this balance those experiencing sadness with loss of a loved one, pet, loneliness, lack of food or even a relationship.

When one's many tears and heart ache keeps them in sadness does the one with laughter, joy and love help them move forward with keeping balance especially during the holiday season, allowing the Universe, Spirit or GOD help shift every human being for the January New Year asisting to not carry our sadness forward which might limit us.

If this is true, then for those who are crying, when I laugh I will laugh harder, for those of you that are lonely, I will love more in all I do, for those of you who are in lack I will give with non-judgment and compassion and those who have lost and lonely, know you are not alone and I hold your hand in spirit with faith it sparks hope in the new birth of you, and when I hear anothers laughter I will give thanks for the balance preparing all for the New Year and the joy it brings the world.

 

Footwear Design

To our readers who appreciate the fashionable shoe we know you will enjoy these street stoppers by Kobi Levi

Designer Kobi Levi states  "Most of the inspirations are out of the "shoe-world", and give the footwear an extreme transformation. The result is usually humoristic with a unique point of view about footwear. Another aspect of the creation is the realization. All the pieces are hand-made in my studio. The challenging technical development is the key to bring the design to life in the best way."

 

Model Style

Here in Tennessee, the weather is finally changing – the temperature's dropping, the leaves are in a full spectrum of reds to yellows, the wind is brisk and cool. What does this mean? Well, new trends of course! Its truly time to bundle up and who better to show you how its done than some models-off-duty? The big trends here are: motorcycle boots (see at top) which are still big this year, anything red (see middle image) especially for bottoms like what is shown here, and monochromatic color schemes (bottom image) I really enjoy the head-to-toe cream, so cozy! Now all we need is some apple cider...
