Here is to better days for everyone. 🙂

Peace Out Peeps! I know I sucked today I am trying to snap out of it.
Enjoy your evening and have fun shopping and playing in the Arcade. ♥

Goonight,

Cherie, Loaf, Mcpoopoo, Taci, Tamrick and all. 🙂

This is my mothers Cheese Cake best cook in Colorado. ♥

My parents raised 10 children and mom was a great cook and had a full career as well.
I want my mother. ♥

@taci

Here are some shoes for your hike now if you like a different look let me know.
I still have the pink ones I gave you on your birthday. Your choice. ♥

Information and Inspiration

When we learn to attune ourselves to our inner compass we follow a map that only we can see, our own path.

All the major spiritual traditions serve the purpose of offering us a roadmap to guide us on our individual journeys to enlightenment. These roadmaps are made up of moral codes, parables, and, in some cases, detailed descriptions of mystical states. We often study the fine points of a particular ascended master’s narrative in order to better understand our own and to seek inspiration and guidance on our path. In the same way, when we plan a road trip, we carry maps and guidebooks in an effort to understand where we are going. In both cases, though, the journey has a life of its own and maps, while helpful, can only take us so far. There is just no comparison between looking at a line on a piece of paper and driving your own car down the road that line represents.

Some people seem well-suited to following maps, while others are always looking for new ways to get where they’re going. In the end, the only reliable compass is within, as every great spiritual guide will tell you. The maps and travelogues left behind by others are great blessings, full of useful information and inspiration, but they cannot take the journey for us. When it is time to merge onto the highway or pull up anchor, we are ostensibly on our own. Strange weather patterns, closed roads, and traffic jams arise in the moment, out of nowhere, and our maps cannot tell us what to do. Whether we take refuge in a motel by the side of the road, persevere and continue forward, or turn back altogether is entirely up to us.

Maps are based on observations from the past and we are living in the present, so we are the only true experts on our journey to enlightenment. We may find that the road traveled by our predecessors is now closed. We may feel called to change direction entirely so that the maps we have been carrying really no longer apply. These are the moments when we learn to attune ourselves to our inner compass, following a map that only we can see, as we make our way into the unknown territory of our own enlightenment.

Time after time. ♥

Cyndi Lauper still just wants to have fun.

The singer, songwriter and actress has inked a deal with HSN Inc., under which she’ll design women’s apparel, jewelry and footwear. She will launch A Touch of Cyn during a two-hour special during The List with Colleen Lopez on Oct. 26.

“Honestly, I was approached all through the Eighties to do a line,” said the 64-year-old Lauper in a telephone interview. She said her uncle was a successful pattern maker on Seventh Avenue and she went to the High School of Fashion Industries “but flunked out.”

“I have dealt with clothes all of my life. I love fashion and this line is a nod to my favorite century of fashion — the 20th century,” said Lauper, whose 1983 version of “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” was her breakthrough hit.

Simply put, Lauper said she wanted to do something with HSN for women “who are forgotten.” She wants to design clothing that accentuates women’s good points and minimizes the bad. “These women are left out of couture,” she said, adding that this customer loves clothes, but there’s nothing out there that makes them feel elegant.

Lauper’s 11-piece apparel collection is available in a classic color palette including red, white, black, and ivory, as well as floral print and leopard. Prices range from $39.90 for a graphic T-shirt to $249.90 for a velvet coat with oversized collar. Her six-piece jewelry line features gold tone and silver tone pieces that range in price from $39.95 for link drop earrings to $79.95 for a long two-tone chain necklace. Lauper has also designed two footwear silhouettes, which are a lace-up bootie for $129.90 and a mule for $79.90.

Hi Deek,

Soup and tea is what I have had all day. I think Loaf makes the best soup.

Hope all is well with you. 🙂

Deek,

LOL! I gave birth to four children with my husband. I can cook with the best of them.
Sometimes you can cook so much you want to taste someone else’s food. 🙂

I am an excellent cook I just love hearing others talk about food. I don’t eat a lot because
I don’t like food a lot. I like certain things. Baad Sheba. (Carbs) No worries I eat all my
fruit and veggies which I love. ♥

@loaf

Are you getting emails just from this Thread or the entire Community?
Oh wow to any. I hope you get help for that.

Yeah just a wee bit under the weather. I will snap out of it soon.

It is cold tonight. I will be under silk covers and 1200 Egyptian Thread Count Sheets.

I will feel no pain. But soup do sound nice if you make it. 🙂

For some reason you remind me of Cyndi Lauper I love her. ♥

Your sense of style and personality for having fun. ♥

Good afternoon lovely people! Oh Sheba, please feel better soon. Please rest and have some nurturing hot tea. Maybe @loaf can make you some chicken soup! Time to slow down and take care of yourself sweet lady.

@loaf and all I can’t wait to see this show. I am not feeling too hot today as I stated
earlier sometimes when you feel this bad what I always do is just keep it moving. ♥

Love Cyndi Lauper ♥

“True Colors” Cyndi Lauper

You with the sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged
Oh I realize
It’s hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don’t be unhappy, can’t remember
When I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there

And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

[Whisper:] Can’t remember, when I last saw you laugh.

If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there

And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors are shining through

I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow.

“Girls Just Want To Have Fun” Cyndi Lauper

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we’re not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you’re still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That’s all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls – they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That’s all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls – they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun…
