For the last 40 years, my husband Russ and I have lived in Detroit. At first, we lived in the Cass Corridor. Then we bought my Aunt Anne’s house on the northeast side. We have lived been here for 31 years because Russ didn’t want to leave Detroit.
The Cass Corridor had a bad reputation back when we lived there. My own family stopped coming to visit us because they thought our home in northeast Detroit was in a dangerous area. My sisters were amazed that I would continue to live here because of my husband’s wishes. I don’t usually invite people over to our house anymore, since the foreclosures took over the area in recent years and the Emergency Manager took away some of our public services.
So why are we here, and what’s good about Detroit? There are lots of reasons, from the personal to the ideal.
I found this easy, natural way to clean jewelry by FP Brigette and would like to share it with you because it works so well. My husband even filled a tray with crusty old coins and they got clean in ten minutes this way! This solution just bubbles away all tinges of tarnish, etc. (Just like Scrubbing Bubbles cleans the bathroom. Lol!) Whatever methods you’ve used in the past, age doesn’t matter. This is a great new way to make a seemingly impossible job so quick and easy.
You can make a paste of baking soda and water and just buff your jewelry with it in a pinch. But the following method does a better job with less elbow grease, on intricate jewelry, and you can throw multiple pieces into the pan at once!
I’m going to New York City for a long weekend trip soon. So I want to learn how to pack everything I need in a carry-on bag and not over-pack like I always tend to end up doing! I have the “just in case” syndrome. I think I got it from being a mom, when I had to make sure we had everything for the entire family. But age doesn’t matter (LOL). Lots of people end up doing the same thing. So, after doing the research, this is how I think I can pack everything into that one little carry-on bag!
A kimono makes a simple dress or jeans and a tee into something special, just like a blazer or jacket. You can cover a body-conscious dress with a flowing kimono. On the other hand, a black lacy tank or any sexy camisole makes a kimono date night ready. Throw a kimono over a hoodie and jeans outfit. Use a kimono as a robe around the house. Or try a kimono as a bathing suit cover-up! There are so many ways to wear a kimono that age doesn’t matter. In this post, I have come up with over 45 sure-fire ways to rock a kimono. Take this list, look in your closet, and create some new outfits for yourself!
I have seen people shy away from meditating because they think it is too time-consuming or they just don’t know how. I took bio-feedback to learn meditation and was taught how to go into an alpha state. But after 40 years of meditation, journaling, prayer and Tai Chi, I can tell you that in the end meditating is simple.
You can do it in 17 seconds or just for a minute while sitting at your desk. You can do it while you are in the shower or walking or standing in line. Age doesn’t matter.
If you meditate first thing in the morning, you can make it a good day. Meditation at bedtime can help you fall asleep.
Meditation is basically a matter of focusing on something. You can focus on something that makes you happy or on something that keeps you from thinking and worrying.
