I honestly have never seen such amazing costume jewelry. Its like the new rule is "more is more" For a true minimalist I am a kid in a candy store for the very first time. Before I make a purchase I always stop and think... "now how many years will I wear this?" Not so with these accessories. I have eight granddaughters. Even if the trend changes, any purchase I make will be well used for years.
Necklace Ann Taylor $69.50
Earrings Ann Taylor $39.50
Happy shopping!

Meet Laura Dekker ...
a very young woman of a certain age
Laura was literally born sailing. Her mother gave birth to her while she and her husband were on a seven year trip around the world. For Laura's first five years she lived on that same boat. Then, when her baby sister was born, her family moved to Holland, bought a house and tried to be land lovers. It didn't work. Laura's parents divorced and she chose to live with her father because of their mutual love of the sea.

Laura had a dream. She wanted to be the youngest person to ever circumnavigate the globe solo. At 13 she thought she was ready but the Dutch government stepped in and stopped her. She and her father fought a legal battle for a year. At one point the government tried to make her a ward of the state and determined her father negligent for thinking of letting her go. After what she calls, a horrible year, the courts decided in her favor and she was free to make her own choices. She set sail on August 21, 2010
Her voyage started from Portugal westwards. These were her main ports...
Gilbralter (start)
Canary Islands
Cape Verde Islands
St. Marteens
Panama Canal
Crossed the equator
Galapagos
French Polynesia
Tahiti
Torress Strait
Darwin Australia
South Africa
St. Marteens (finish)
In all she made 14 stops, riding out the hurricane season on land and doing her school work while on board. She rounded South Africa in a terrible storm, a feat most experienced sailors wouldn't attempt.

HER DOG SPOT
Spending that much time alone in the middle of the ocean allows for a lot of self reflection. Laura always knew she loved the sea but after her voyage she knew it was her lifelong passion.
She had to come to terms with loneliness, boredom, frustration and fear. She thought she would go insane when she lost the wind in the Indian Ocean. There was nothing she could do but wait.
She made friends in unexpected places and found strength in her inner self. When she finished her 5,600 nautical mile journey on January 21, 2012, she was 16 years and 162 days but her self-reliance, and determination rendered her much older. Pleased with her accomplishment she re-located to New Zealand where she "navigates" a whole new life on and off the ocean. Her next goal is to be a skipper of a large ship.

SAYING GOOD-BYE TO WINTER...
and the "blues"
and the "blues"
To say it was a hard winter would be an understatement. In mid December I had major surgery. It was unexpected and put me in bed for eight weeks on heavy pain medication. For the first two weeks I wasn't able to go up or down the stairs. On week three when I descended to make myself a piece of toast my doctor's surgical nurse had a "fit" and ordered me back to bed. Its been almost four months and I am back to work but my energy isn't 100% and probably won't be for a year. Sigh....
The physical part was hard but so was the emotional. I have been nursing a case of the "blues" off and on for quite a while. Yesterday I read this...
The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with her hair done and makeup applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.
After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
“Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room ...”
“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged, it’s how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it.
I realized my mind could probably use a little "re-arranging"
