Oh my goodness, this trailer for this documentary brought tears to my eyes. As a dancer, I started at the age of 3, it is so hard to get people to understand what this means. It's like so accepted if your child is training to be an athlete, but no one gets the sacrifice, dedication and love you need for a dancer. I've always told my students that dancing is very black and white in your dedication. You either love it or you don't. Whatever discipline you choose, ballet, tap, jazz, modern, ethnic, praise, hip hop, ballroom - you have to love it! It's not a Flashdance moment or a Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland party - it's hours of work, work, work!<br />
<br />
Finally, a contemporary documentary for the masses to see just that.<br />
<br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #fabf8f; font-family: "Blackadder ITC"; font-size: 36pt;">Artist of the Week</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My artist of the week is my mom. You won't find any of her fabulous creations on the internet or in a gallery or store anywhere. In fact, most of the beautiful paper dolls, fashion designs and oil paintings, she created no longer exist due to a terrible flood in our family home basement some twenty odd years ago. That doesn't mean they don't exist in my memories. When my mom (mom #1) passed away when I was in my twenties, I had hoped to maintain and pass on her hand drawn paper dolls and their divine wardrobe (also designed and drawn by mom) to my daughter. Not being artistically inclined in the visual art realm, I can only describe them to my daughter. I pass on to her my love for movement and creativity. The drawing and painting moved through me to my sons and there it manifests itself. My daughter and youngest son - dance, the middle two children - draw. Thank you, Mimi!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My mom, known as Mimi, to her three daughters, was Margaret Ann Latten. She was an only child and was raised in Austin, Texas. When she went to college at Talledega College in Alabama, she met my dad. She graduated and they moved first to New York City (and created my older sister and I) and then to Detroit (where the last daughter was created). She worked for the Civil Rights Commission until her late diagnosed Lupus forced her into an early retirement. She was a wonderful mother, with all the ups and downs that went with it. She shaped most of the way I view the world and how I raise my own brood. She was the first one to show me that nothing you want to do is impossible if you work with perseverance to get it. She built bookcases and sewed prom dresses from newspaper patterns. She wore all her mom hats well and I only hope that as I travel on this path, that I wear my 'hats' just as well. Thank you, Mimi!</div>

I found this adorable book at the local library this past week and just had to check it out. I wondered if these 31 uses included any of the uses my children have for their mom. You know, those "mom hats". The very first use in the book is TIME accompanied by a delightful drawing of a mom standing at the door, waiting for her child to leave on the school bus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The uses go on to include such time honored classics as #6 Doctor, #27 Bank, #28 Tweezer, and #18 Party Planner. It doesn't include some of my all time "faves". I could continue the list by adding:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
#32 Personal Groomer (really you put those pants with that shirt?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
#32 Laundress (I just washed those, can you just put them away?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
#34 Homework Assistant (I haven't done algebraic expressions in twenty years, I don't know the answer!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
#35 Life Coach (maybe she just isn't the one for you right now, how about an ice cream cone?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What would you add to the list? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy Mother's Day!!!</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Yep - the dreaded doctor, right on that same line with asking directions and putting the toilet seat down! I mean, <i>really</i>, it's too difficult to go see the person who did all the training to help you take care of yourself and tell him that you possibly may have something wrong? And if they find something, now to go take care of it? Actively seek out treatment?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">My dad had a stroke some years back. His doctor said, "Stop smoking, cut back on the fried foods, take time to smell the roses....". What did my dad do? Please know it wasn't ANY of the above. So, many petit-mals later and a second grand-mal seizure, he is now bed-ridden and cranky. Did we (read "he") learn a lesson from this? Nooooo....Physical therapist comes to the house, my dad won't talk, won't look at, won't listen to.....AAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!!</span></div>

I have been a fan of Elton John since the formative years and continue to be. For whatever reason, he and his wonderful music have been on my mind quite a bit lately, so I pulled out two of his song videos (one official, one live performance)to share with you.<br />

I am purposely not saying what the focus of the ad is, because I want you to view it and weigh in with your opinions ^_^! Oh and hey, have a spectacular day!<br />

Detroit's Khalid el-Hakim calls his collecting a spiritual mission. As proprietor of the Black History 101 Mobile Museum, el-Hakim has become an in-demand figure at college campuses and events across the Midwest and, increasingly, nationwide. His single-room exhibits -- featuring artifacts from the slave era through the Obama presidency -- are customized to a variety of themes and often draw several hundred patrons in a single afternoon."<br />

So begins a wonderful write up of an awesome young man doing great things in Detroit and around the country. In a time when Detroit doesn't always get a good "rap", there are several folks who are turning it around. Khalid is an ex-Detroit Public School History teacher who is following his dream to success. A newlywed and new dad, he takes his dream on the road to help other school districts and schools teach hands on lessons to the young and the not-so-young. The museum is broken down into "era" rooms of information, giving educators the opportunity to focus in on specific periods of time or genres to help drive a lesson home. el-Hakim continues to add to his collection while pursuing his Master's Degree from Michigan's Western University.<br />
<br />
<i></i><br />
I remember when Khalid was just a troublesome little guy, terrorizing the likes of his older brother and his sister. Even then, he knew how to think outside the box to get what he thought was important done. I won't tell any embarrassing stories or let out any secrets (there really aren't any ^_^), but don't tell him...I've got to have something to hold over his head!<br />

</tbody></table><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">A triple combination of natural butters in a solid bar provide lasting moisture throughout the day. <br />
<br />
Shea butter comes from the karite nut tree of West and Central Africa. Shea butter is rich in fatty acids, protecting the skin and locking in moisture.Shea butter is rich in vitamin E and contains vitamins A, D and F. Shea butter can be used treat burns, insect bites, diaper rash, eczema and psoriasis.<br />
<br />
Mango butter comes from the shelled fruit kernel of the mango tree, which is a tropical evergreen. This butter softens and soothes the skin. Mango butter helps protect against UV exposure, helps treat skin rashes caused by eczema, insect bites, and poison ivy. It helps protect and heal sunburn and frostbite damage.<br />
<br />
Cocoa butter is comes from the cacao bean. One of the most highly concentrated and stable fats available. Cocoa butter has long been used in preventing stretch marks during pregnancy, but additionally, it contains cocoa mass polyphenol (CMP). Research has shown that CMP has positive effects on cholesterol, blood pressure, cancer cells, heart disease, arthritis, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. The use of cocoa butter boosts the immune system and promotes a feeling of well-being.</span>Lostlemonadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09593705844647121321noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592262507282371780.post-42315484344920662122012-03-05T03:08:00.000-08:002012-03-05T03:08:42.063-08:00March 5, 2012Today's fun video is all about pampering!

She totally belongs to us now (can you say "spoiled"?). Sure we'll let them visit, we'll write, send a few pictures, but really I think their job is done here. My daughter (the only girl to be born into our immediate family in the last 21 years) has started buying little matching "big girl/little girl cousin" outfits. She had to reassure my youngest, that he's not being replaced as her bestest youngest brother, but that he now has a new "toy" to play with. I'm afraid....very afraid, lol!</span></b></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: grey; font-family: "Wacky Action BTN","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt;"><br />

Social Media Icons<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vc4kaPnM3YM/Tzh_qqzX6QI/AAAAAAAAAPI/fsZE337_KXU/s1600/social+icons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vc4kaPnM3YM/Tzh_qqzX6QI/AAAAAAAAAPI/fsZE337_KXU/s1600/social+icons.jpg" /></a></div>Gotta have em, don't we? I mean there have always been icons for things, the "golden arches", the "swoosh", the "big boy" and so on. But in today's media market, it's unheard of not to have these little symbols lurking around your webpage, blog, shop, etc. I've seen them on CNN, CNBC, ESPN, and of course, ETSY. Soon, we'll have another new language, move over text speak, here comes Icon-talk! Yes, I know you noticed the shameless use of AcronymSpeech, but hey, that's from MY era of shortcuts. According to WebDesignLedger.com contributor, Henry Jones,<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq"> "The ability to easily bookmark or share content on popular social media platforms is now a must have feature for web sites. It’s also important that this feature isn’t over looked by web site visitors. So it’s always a good idea to use icons when linking to social media sites. They get peoples attention and the logos are immediately recognizable."</blockquote>(Henry has) "taken the time to round up what I believe are the best free social media icons out there."<br />

This isn't all there is, by no means. This isn't even all the ones, dear Henry gathered up, but I figured you get the picture...I mean, the ICON (bah, dum, dum), by this point. So go on, dress up your sites with pretty little pics (yes, icons) and connect, connect, connect - this word "connect", it's IconSpeak for "talk to via electronic message transmissions". Connect is so much easier, isn't it?<br />
<br />
How many little guys trail around your sites or are you feeling a little Icon Envy? No need, just snatch a few freebies and you'll be in Icon Heaven in no time!<br />
<br />
Till next we meet <br />

Here's your only clue to today's Promotional Frenzy Team Leader Tribute - Mary Tyler Moore was a young, Exuberant, "girl-about-town". Always available to perk up your day, even when hers wasn't going so well, Mary was the epitome of young career women during the 70's. So now forty years later, we have our very own "It Girl", a fashion icon in the making, our very own Magda of MagdaMagdaFashion!<br />
<br />
In her own words, "Being a self-taught designer from Romania, I enjoy and try to make the most of my uniquely novel experience in India where I live, love and create at the moment! I love the creative process, to sink deep and go far and get to a surprise destination can bring so much inner satisfaction - so that's my favorite game!<br />
I inherited sewing genes from my grandmothers, so it was just a matter of time till I started sewing. One of my grandmothers taught me how to knit by the age of 4 and that’s also when i started to fervently fill notebooks with dress designs. In primary school I was filling my spare time with a bit of everything – fashion sketches, knitting with brushes (coz my mother used to hide the knitting needles from me – yes, I was the ultimate threat to useful thread, and yes I was that determined!). Also curtains were transformed into skirts, skirts into tops thanks to my voracious and obsessive talent:. I love that I dared work on bags and accessories also and added new flavor and glamor to projects that included recycled materials. It’s hard to pick a favorite out of my blouse designs, its a different experience that leads to each one of them and I’m always looking forward to my next one."<br />
<br />
Here's some of the exciting items you can find in Magda's shop<br />

Magda is our team's Information Station - need to know about something, need some pointers on how to get a task accomplished, not sure what that darn button does over there - Check with Magda! A seemingly tireless, plethora of information, she's always willing to lend a helping hand when she can, even when it's the middle of the night in her part of the world!<br />

Here's to a wonderful woman. Don't forget to tell all your friends, "we knew her when...."
