Re: Gang Of Girls !! Calling all of Adland's ladies.....its party time :-)

Ladies!!  Where did everyone go?  OUt shopping, decorating - let's have a Christmas Party with cake and coffee, take a break.  Talk about how your plans for the holidays are working or not working out this year.

Yesterday I finally got my last box in the mail!!  Wish I could just hand them to them but everyone is so far away.  We are spending very little this year except for postage and WOW! what it costs to send even a small package.

Finally got the Christmas cards read - now have to cut, fold and address envelopes.  Always design and make our own cards.

Please share your stories ladies/girlies and also go help our friend Pauline by letting her know you love her.

Peace and Love,

Sara

Hi Girls,
Sorry I got sidetracked, but promise to be a better hostess from now on :-)

here is something every woman should read !! JUST FOR YOU GIRLS!


Have You Seen One Painting of a Naked Man?
12/13/2008

God gave Eve a beautiful form and a beautiful spirit. She expresses beauty in both. Better, she expresses beauty simply in who she is. Like God, it is her essence.

Stasi and I just spent a weekend together in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where we wandered for hours through art galleries and gardens, looking for those works of art that particularly captured us. Toward the afternoon of our second day Stasi asked me, “Have you seen one painting of a naked man?” The point was startling. After days of looking at maybe a thousand pieces of art, we had not seen one painting devoted to the beauty of the naked masculine form. Not one. (Granted, there are a few examples down through history . . . but only a few.) However, the beauty of Woman was celebrated everywhere, hundreds of times over in paintings and sculptures. There is a reason for this.

For one thing, men look ridiculous laying on a bed buck naked, half covered with a sheet. It doesn’t fit the essence of masculinity. Something in you wants to say, “Get up already and get a job. Cut the grass. Get to work.” For Adam is captured best in motion, doing something. His essence is strength in action.

On the other hand, and bear with us a moment, Eve just doesn’t look right in a scene of brutal combat, or chopping a tree down. From time immemorial, when artists have tried to capture the essence of Eve they have painted her (or photographed her, or sculpted her) at rest. There is no agenda here, no social stigmatizing or cultural pressure. This is true across all cultures and down through time. What have the artists seen that we have not? Eve speaks something differently to the world than Adam does. Through her beauty.

Hi Pauline and Girls,

I also have not been back here to post in a few days.  There have
been lots of wonderful posts with inspirations, videos, humourous stories, thanks for sharing.

Thank you Sara for sharing 'Man on second' - yep I would have been one of the girls to come out to look too! It's human nature!!


Thank you Myna for sharing your Hawiian Prayer.  I shared this
with James and it has set quite a different tone in our house when
we are about to disagree.  It has stopped us in our tracks and we
have started to laugh instead of argue.

Thank you Pauline for sharing the photo of your son and yourself,
you still have wonderful green trees.

Well girls, time for me to share wonderful news for me. 
Both of my children, Kerie and  Daryl London are now
in Vail, Colorado, the next door State to us in Nebraska. 
This is Daryl's first trip and he arrived in early November,
while Kerie had some serious issues getting her work visa
and was not sure if she was able to get over here.
Visa's were cut back drastically this season and also as she had
passed her degree which she did off campus - there was some
changes made with degrees.  Anyway, she finally made it on 5
December her 8th trip out to work at Colorado.
They are both members of Facebook so I have been able to
catch up with their photos etc.

Hi gal pals.  You're all great. Thanks for being here.   Hubby and I have been talking about his Mom and how she so often helped us at Christmas when we were broke.  We really miss her alot. It's hard sometimes to be cheerful when you're hurting.

Pauline, you are and your darling boys! How proud you must be of them.

The Hawaiian prayer is wonderful Myrna. Thanks for posting it.

I hope you have a nice time visiting with your kids Amanda.

Sara, aren't you glad you have your presents shipped!  My cards are all sent also. It's so fun selecting the right card to send to loved ones who live far away.

Merry Christmas ladies.
