Conversation – 16
Hello Peeps time for a new Conversation Thread. This is
number 16 out of the series. I created and started this thread nearly 7 years
ago. I will change it often from now on. This is just a knock around
thread about things in life. My life and others. I am an avid Heidi
Daus Collector, former singer, model and so on. I do this thread because
I enjoy what I do. I love fashion and music and HSN is a little of both.
I cover a lot of music and fashion on this thread.
I am going to wish Happy Holidays to all the Peeps out there and please
stay safe.

Lent is a 40 day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. It’s a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection at Easter. During Lent, we seek the Lord in prayer by reading Sacred Scripture; we serve by giving alms; and we practice self-control through fasting. We are called not only to abstain from luxuries during Lent, but to a true inner conversion of heart as we seek to follow Christ’s will more faithfully. We recall the waters of baptism in which we were also baptized into Christ’s death, died to sin and evil, and began new life in Christ.
Many know of the tradition of abstaining from meat on Fridays during Lent, but we are also called to practice self-discipline and fast in other ways throughout the season. Contemplate the meaning and origins of the Lenten fasting tradition in this reflection. In addition, the giving of alms is one way to share God’s gifts—not only through the distribution of money, but through the sharing of our time and talents. As St. John Chrysostom reminds us: “Not to enable the poor to share in our goods is to steal from them and deprive them of life. The goods we possess are not ours, but theirs.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2446).
In Lent, the baptized are called to renew their baptismal commitment as others prepare to be baptized through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, a period of learning and discernment for individuals who have declared their desire to become Catholics.

Hi Sheba;
How are you? We are seeing the weather reports in your section of our beautiful country. My hope is you kept your electricity. It is hard to imagine people even leaving the house except if one must or the doggie has to go to the bathroom. My think8ng is you are prepared in most ways but not delighted at all by this blast of weather.Sheba, I don’t know if you watched Stanley Tucci’s Gastronomic tour of Italy. It airs on Sunday night on CNN. It is incredible. I will now look for Marzano Canned tomatoes. I know the food made in Italy tastes different from the Italian food cooked here. Their foods are so organic. I could have gained weight just watching. No need for snacking while watching this. Nothing will do compared to what he is eating. And….Stanley Tucci is soooo sexy.
Today, I go for a blood drawer which I dread. I am vein impaired with one decent pipeline. Ack!
This is for thyroid and a quick wellness visit. Then home to see if the program guide can yield me information about Heidi’s shows tomorrow.Hug Poppy for Ari and Chloe who told me I cannot watch the news all the time. They are correct.
Love you;
Amy.

So sorry, Sheba. I tried the coupon and found it was for new customers only. There was no way to get that information unless you tried using it, like I did. By the way, you did a great job on Connie Craig Carroll. I hope her new line is a success. I really like her jewelry even though it isn’t sterling silver.
I forgot to mention. As cold as you are in OZ, we are on a different planet. It is hot and muggy here. Guess I will turn the A/C on. Hope your pipes are in working order. Your hubby could try wrapping them with insulation.
Someone mentioned that we now have otters in our lake. I haven’t seen them, but understand they are really cute.
