@kittengirl,

My niece lives there and have for years. The Zoo is legend. 🙂 It’s been years since I have
been to LA that experience is something you never forget. ♥ We have a little connection.
Marilyn was gone too soon too. Yeah I see Oranges and I love lemons too I don’t blame
your neighbor for asking to pick up some lemons they are very expensive here. Kitten
you are sitting on a goldmine. 🙂 Thanks for the Oranges. ♥

Doing Our Best

Your best is always good enough, because it comes from you, and you are always good enough.

We often come into contact with the idea that our best isn’t good enough, as if this were actually possible. If you examine this notion, you will begin to see that it doesn’t make much sense. Your best is always good enough, because it comes from you, and you are always good enough. You may not be able to deliver someone else’s idea of the best, but the good news is that’s not your burden. You only need to fulfill your own potential, and as long as you remain true to that calling, and always do your best to fulfill your purpose, you don’t need to expect anything more from yourself.

It’s easy to get tangled up with the idea of trying to be the best–the best parent, the best employee, the best child, or best friend. If we try to be the best, we run the risk of short-circuiting our originality because we are striving to fit into someone else’s vision of success. In addition, if everyone is striving for the same outcome, we lose out on creativity, diversity, and visionary alternatives to the way things are done. On another note, there is nothing wrong with wanting to improve, but examining where this feeling comes from is important because wanting to be better than others is our ego coming into play. 🙂

Letting go of the tendency to hold ourselves up to other people’s standards, and letting go of the belief that we need to compete and win, doesn’t mean we don’t believe in doing the best job we can. We always strive to do our best, because when we do we create a life free of regret, knowing we have performed to the best of our ability. This allows us to feel great personal satisfaction in all of our efforts, regardless of how others perceive the outcome.

@Sheba,

The oranges are like candy, they are so sweet, juicy and delicious! I’m sending you some… do you see them? Enjoy! The giant lemons have been falling off the tree, Neighbor behind us asked if she could oick the ones on her side of the fence. We told her “anytime”! She was so happy and excited! 😀

Wow! I’ve lived down there almost my whole life and I have never been to her grave site! I am going to have to put that on my list. When you live there, you don’t think of it, it’s just the way it is down there, you don’t get star struck. I have always had a place for Marilyn, Fred Astaire and Cary Grant so I should go see their resting places. I’ve never been to Ronald Reagan Library either and it was just up the road from the home I grew up in so I have to see it too. OH! And Taci was right, the zoo down in her neck of the woods is THE BEST! If you ever get down there, you have to go and also the wild safari park! If you ever go to Pheonix they have a nice zoo too. 😀

Cherie,

I hope you and your family are feeling better keep doing what you are doing.
Know that I am thinking of you and I have been in your shoes many times. Hang in
there. ♥ Having internet issues today and it is very annoying. LOL! Such is life!

@bichon18,

Good morning to you! Oh I feel for you. I have to stay organized too because I don’t live in a big house with big closets. I’ve had my closet done too and you are right, there is less room now to hang things! It is more organized but less room for hanging! Why is that? Oh well, I do what I have to do and that is purge twice a year or just not buy anything. Well, HELLO…like that’s going to happen! Lol!
I try to think about purchases but like Sheba, I also buy what I really like when I find it! I know myself well enough to know that I go on sensory overload when shopping so that’s why I try to remain focused and having a list of things I really need helps reel me in and keep me focused. I hate wasting money and making purchases I regret I just love fashion and I am one that believes shopping is a sport and should be in the Olympics! Lol!
I need a home for all my jewelry too. It is everywhere. I won’t be buying the Heidi TS either because it’s magnetic. A pacemaker may be in my future so I’m just not going to buy anything I may have to get rid of. If I buy the Enchante set in the green/blue/red colorway, I have a lovely emerald eternity band that will be beautiful with it. I’m waiting for her shows and I will decide then what makes sense for me. I saw the reviews too. That’s one person’s opinion. How do you like the green earrings you bought?
Hugs to the little man. I am sure he smells and looks great! Kitties send hugs too! 😀

@southernlights55,

Frozen here too. Hey did you know that Suzie Walter retired from Heidi Daus this month?
I was surprised and I wish her luck in her new ventures.

I am waiting to watch Heidi do her presentations as I always say. I like to see the
actual pieces during the show. ♥ I already have something coming from Heidi Daus
this week. ♥

Hope everyone in your home is feeling much better. Yeah there is a bug going around.

Who Doesn’t Love a Little Bling?
Especially if it keeps your loved ones close to your heart.

This is not just another crystal covered heart!
We’ve designed a perfect heart shaped locket that will allow you to
keep your loved ones close to your heart.
Available in three beautiful colors!

Hello! Still frozen up here. We were at 24 degrees below zero with the windchill factored in. Brrrrr! Ice storm heading my way tonight. Yes, it’s winter.

@kittengirl, I bet you looked sharp driving your white Camaro! They were the IT car!

I also received the email about Heidi’s TS. It is interchangeable rings. I am pretty dead set on which rings I wear every day. I wear a Heidi ring to compliment the suite but unless I own the other pieces, it’s a pass for me.

Heidi’s Tuesday Treasure. I bought all three colors. I love the long cord and I love hearts. It will compliment a shorter Heidi heart necklace that I bought last year in similar colors. Fabulous price so hurry and check them out!

Stay warm! ❄️⛄️

@kittengirl,

Enjoy the fresh Oranges. Glad you are getting the Jackets. Yes I have seen the Misfits and
every Marilyn Monroe Movie. Loaf and everyone on this Thread are huge fans of Marilyn.
My connection is remember my B-Day is on the day she passed. I have seen her beautiful
Crypt in LA I left a lipstick mark on it and Ieft some flowers there. Joe DiMaggio did a beautiful
job keeping that up so the story goes. ♥

We are raining here and will have some snow. This has been a winter for sure. Kudos on
your call for the Heidi Daus Ring. ♥

The perfect pop of color for this time of year!

Would You Be Mine?
I think that’s a silly question….Of course I will!

@Sheba,

Good morning! How are you today? I’ve been for my morning walk, eaten breakfast ( scrambled egg, gluten free toast and an orange from my tree). I am about to fix a lovely cup of tea when I finish posting here.
Yes, I read the Heidi thread and saw susiecat’s post. I left a response to her. The ring she mentioned has the same item number as the one I suspected as being the TS. I think it doesn’t come up in the system because they haven’t put the ring into the system yet. They do that every time there is a TS. We will soon find out. 😀
I love Marilyn Monroe. I have some really cool photos of her. I can’t remember if I’ve ever asked you if you’ve ever seen Misfits (also starring Clark Gable and Eli Wallach)? One of my very fave movies! Not just of hers, but of all fave movies.
I bought the peach TS and would love to get the green too. I have these stunning faux peridot earrings by Roberto Faraone Manella that would be so gorgeous worn with that jacket. I’m excited to get the jacket. I also got the chenille sweater by Antthony in black. I might get the chenille beret and scarf set. I have the sweater in amber and I just love it.
Jonnie is beginning to “talk” to me again and almost let me pet her this morning so she is beginning to forgive me. 😀 I love that little girl! 😀

Have a great Tuesday. 🙂

@kittengirl,

You may be right on the Heidi Daus Ring TS. Hmm.. I can’t see it yet but Susiecat on the
Heidi Daus Thread got an email that shows the ring. I did ask her to post a picture if she can.
Top of the Morning in Cali. Glad Jonnie is feeling much better. Did you get a second color
in Colleen Lopez TS Jacket it is a beauty. ♥

@bichon18,

You are busy this morning. There is always a place for Heidi Daus. The answer to your
question about my father is he lives about an hour away. My step-mom is with him.

Dad has two types of cancer color and prostate. When I visit him it is to cheer him up.
My dad has 24 hour care dad is only 80 years old but children have cancer too.

Oh hugs to little Ari from Poppy. ♥ I am going to watch Heidi Daus and enjoy the shows.
I never plan on what to buy if it knocks my socks off then I am get it. Sometimes I swear
I will not buy anything and in the 14 years of watching her on HSN that has never happened.
There is always something. 🙂 I am having tekky problems this morning. I am sure little Ari
looks like a prince. 🙂

Marilyn is right about shoes. ♥
