Conversation – 19
Hello Peeps time for a new Conversation Thread. This is number 19 out of the
series. I created and started this thread nearly 10 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. 🌹✨😎

I enjoyed Heidi yesterday, but, in my opinion, she was not her joyful, energetic self. During the second hour I thought she was a bit sad and I could have sworn she was trying to hold back tears. I think I missed why. I did purchase her “Dazzling Demoiselle” necklace. And now I see there are 15 or 16 left.
We have an air quality alert and it could be the reason that I feel down and out. I think today will be a pizza day and will stop at the new deli for the meat lover’s. The house is too hot for me to cook or use the airfryer. Also too hot to make hubby’s winter melon soup.
Instead of Costco, will be stopping at Sam’s for gas. There were quite a few articles on line going into the difference between Sam’s and Costco. Though there is a huge difference in membership price, and also a difference in food quality. Most of Sam’s ready made meals and veggies look good in the case. That is, until you read the label. Most contain preservatives and lots of salt. Their meats also contain preservatives and one needs to read the labels. Same goes for Aldi’s.
Last night’s get together for Trivia was good. I was able to play the game and say hi to everyone. Hubby was in bed by 7:30 pm. I brought him a bagel with cream cheese, onion and lox. He ate half and I left the other half to go into the frig at the nurse’s station. Going home I missed all 7 lights. One was quite long and not part of a highway. It was good to be home. It took over a half hour to travel 8 miles.
Hope you are nice and cool.

Speaking With Purpose
Our best chance of getting what we need is to communicate by converting our inner voice to our outside voice.
Each of us has developed an internal filtering process that helps us choose which parts of our constant inner monologues get voiced outside of our heads. Sometimes the choice is based on what we consider to be polite or appropriate, using subtlety instead of directness to try to get our point across. Other times, the choice is made based on our expectations of the other person and what we feel they should know about us, our feelings, and our needs. But our best chance of getting what we need is to communicate specifically by converting our inner voice to our outside voice.
This may seem unnecessary sometimes, especially when we think the other person has the same information we ourselves are working with, but we have to remember they also have their own inner voice, evaluating what they hear in light of their own issues and needs. With so much to consider and sift through, we are truly better off if we communicate precisely. Not only does doing this minimize the chance for misinterpretation, but voicing our thoughts is an act of creation. We convert thought and imagination to sound, releasing it from the chamber of our minds into the outside world. This carries energy and intention with it, making our thoughts, wishes, and even dreams come true.
When we have the courage to speak our minds and use our voice to send the desires of our hearts from our inner world to the world outside, we take a bold step in making them happen. By removing fear of what others may think and expectation of what others should understand, we free ourselves and let loose our desires onto the canvas of the world. Next time we become aware that we have a choice about how to communicate, we can choose to use our outside voice and watch its creative power at work. AMEN! ✨✨

Trivia of Audrey Hepburn
*During the battle of Arnhem, 16-year-old Audrey was a volunteer nurse in a Dutch hospital. The hospital received many wounded Allied soldiers, one of whom young Audrey helped nurse back to health was a young British paratrooper – and future director – named Terence Young. More than 20 years later, Young directed Hepburn in Wait Until Dark (1967).
*Was fluent in English, Dutch, Spanish, French, and Italian. She was raised bilingually; speaking English and Dutch (resulting in her unique accent). Throughout her life, she used multilingualism to great advantage with international press in both her careers as an actress and humanitarian.
*Henry Mancini said of her: “‘Moon River’ was written for her. No one else had ever understood it so completely. There have been more than a thousand versions of ‘Moon River’, but hers is inquestionably the greatest”.*Truman Capote famously hated her as Holly Golightly (Breakfast at Tiffany’s).Blake Edwards’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s may be one of the most iconic films in Hollywood history, but it’s a miracle that the film ever got made at all. Particularly if you listened to Truman Capote, who wrote the novella upon which it was based, and saw only one actress in the lead: Marilyn Monroe. When asked what he thought was wrong with the film, which downplayed the more tawdry aspects of the fact that Ms. Golightly makes her living as a call girl (Hepburn had told the producers, “I can’t play a hooker”), Capote replied, “Oh, God, just everything. It was the most miscast film I’ve ever seen. It made me want to throw up.”
*One year after Monroe’s sultry birthday serenade to John F. Kennedy in 1962, Hepburn paid a musical tribute to the president at a private party in 1963, on what would be his final birthday.
*She’s a member of the EGOT club. One of 14 people in the world, she’s won an Emmy (hosting Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn), a Grammy (spoken word album Audrey Hepburn’s Enchanted Tales), an Oscar (best actress in Roman Holiday), and a Tony (best actress in Ondine).
*Art was one of her longtime hobbies, she drew pictures of stories when she was a child to distract herself from chronic hunger pains during WWII. As an adult, she took up painting to pass time while pregnant with her son, Luca. Samples of her work can be seen in the book “Audrey Hepburn: An Elegant Spirit”. -
