Gratitude and A Positive Mental Attitude.
My business, Les is More LLC (lesmess.com) in a joint venture with Roman Woodworking LLC started Solutions4urspace.com a high quality custom cabinets for your closets, kitchens, garages, and home offices. We will also be able to give your space many places for storage and to keep you organized and clutter free.
What do you need to organize? Paper? Music? Kitchen utensils?
Here is the secret to making this type of chore -FUN!
Grab a box and fill it with items you need to organize. Then bring the box, another smaller box for the donate , and a trash bag for the toss away. Bring all of the items to your living room or where ever you keep your media. Play a favorite song or TV show and then organize to your hearts content.
So, I walked into a consignment store looking for some furniture to paint and sell. I had never been to this store, and it looked filled to the brim from the outside. I walked in and looked around as two men talked. I surmised they were a friend and the owner.
The store was filled to the brim and as I walked around I found I really liked a curio cabinet although it was more than I wanted to spend.
I don't know who started the conversation but I found out that the men both voted for Trump. The owner told me he thought the NYTimes, the Washington Post and the Hartford Courant were fake news. I was shocked- and mentioned I thought I was smarter than the two of them. I believe the owner was shocked that I said this...and told me his wife also has a Masters degree. I guess sleeping with a degree holder makes you smart too. -NOT.
They also didn't believe the women who were sexually harassed by Bill O'reilly. Even when I pointed out he's been paying woman since 2004.
No, the owner said when your that famous and rich-woman throw themselves at you. Really??? Actually, it was Bill who was tossing his goods around...but who deals with facts anymore when your dealing with Trump supporters.
The owner then wanted me to stop the conversation...and of course I love listening to stupid white guys tell me about women and life. But, he made sure it was stopped...he wanted me I feel to shut up and buy something.
When I asked are you tossing me out...he said No.
So one point for him. When I told him I was writing about this...he asked for my credentials and I have thought I didnt have any...but I gave him my business card.
He told me as I left the store...If you write about this I will sue you. I said Freedom of Speech and left.
Now, the only reason I put this on my blog was because he threatened to sue me...and you know how I love publicly!!
My mother had a friend named Simon Newey-he's a photographer in NYC and gave this to my mom years ago. In 2011 some offered me $100 for it. I said no.
So for years it has moved around my house-and finally I've come up with the solution!
After
A few days ago I walked into Stop n Shop in Southington, CT and was greeted with a woman who said Hello but didn't smile--so it was comical to me. The guy putting my groceries in bags didn't smile either--and the whole experience made me realize how much I enjoy shopping and talking.
So, its always nice to run into people who have different opinions on political situations such as the Mayors 23 percent raise. I believe yes the Mayor does need a raise. So, in 2025--lets raise the salary to $99.00 BUT, Not now.
The Alderman's wife told me that our Mayor didn't ask for the raise...NO Shit! what person in their right mind would ask for a 23 percent raise after raising our taxes 14 percent with in her two terms...and we still don't know if she will raise taxes this year. But, since she is up for re-election history tells us No. So, we are safe for this year. If she wins re-election--she will raise taxes and her $89,000 salary. (BTW, what 30 year old out side of finance, or a Kardashian sister makes 89,000 dollars?)
But, I know the Alderman didn't do this without the Mayor's consent. If she wants a raise- get another job.
Another person came into this conversation and I found out later that the woman went to school with Paul J. (PJ) Manafort. "He was an ass then and he's an ass now."
Ah, Republicans. If they only knew how many people they hurt when they govern.
Being grateful is difficult. This week my friend got a new car—I could have been very jealous —but I didn’t want to—so I mediated to let the good feelings in. When you show the world how much you are so grateful for life—life shows you how grateful it is for you.
It’s the same way when my friend gets a big promotion at work—you can be sad for yourself and get yourself into a bad mood-OR you can be happy for her and wish her luck and best wishes and feel good for her.
If you are having a hard time—mediate. It really works. I don’t know how or why—but closing your eyes and concentrating on good feelings helps. I use Doreen Virtue or any of the Hay House authors who have mediation and I use you tube to get the meditations for FREE.
Good Luck with your feelings and let me know how you are doing--I care.
The news was devastating for David Cassidy—the 70’s heartthrob from The Partridge Family, as it was for all of his fans when they found out the love of our lives has dementia. Many have loved this man as I have—I even remember the day January 9, 1971 when I “woke up in love this morning.” Its in my diary that I kept as a child and wrote about how much I loved him and others. He has always been my first love. I have followed his career and have seen almost everything he has done. I’ve flown to Vegas to see him in EFX and tried to interview him once—and gave his assistant my T-shirt for him to autograph. I have never received it back…but that happened in 1999 and I may be over it.
This is David when he was in his early 20's in the 1970s. This is how I will always remember my David.
I was very lucky when my friend Pam a friend who is a big deal at Mohegan got me front row tickets when he appeared there a few years ago. It was the second time I was front row for his concert. He was charming and sexy as always. During the show DC looked at my phone which had a great photo of him as Keith. He smiled and said—“she was very pretty.“ He always made fun of his looks when he had long hair. What a great sense of humor he has.
After the show His bass guitarist gave me a guitar pick that I still have today.
I can’t imagine how scared he is—and how knowing when I walk into the kitchen and can’t remember why –this must be terrifying for him-as well as a wake up call for everyone who has some memory loss. Go to a dr and get checked. And when you are given a clean bill of health donate some money to a good cause.
A message to David Cassidy----How can I help? You have millions of fans who would do most anything for you. If you tell us –we can do it.
