Hello 2017 and New Year's Day!
I don't make New Year's Resolutions.....I recall some past ones were to drink more water and to go to one rave a month.
I attended a get together with friends last night. Had a nice time, even got a glass of pretty pink bubbly to make a toast with and today I have nothing in particular planned besides taking Chhaya out for a walk. I wonder if I can get a latte anywhere or are most places closed? Another thing I recall I did one New Year's Day after a night of dancing at Together As One in Los Angeles was to go to a Brookstone and relax in one of their massage chairs for a while.....
My best New Years Eves hands down so far have been dancing at some party/rave. Nothing like dancing in the New Year - feeling alive.
Well, good continuation my friends. Let's see what 2017 has in store. Already a tragedy in Istanbul. The situation in Europe and all over the World is sad. I will try to do my small part in 2017 to make a day or a moment better for somebody, human or animal.
I want to write a special thank you here to Diann that recently collected several hundred dollars (I think around $500) to give to Alaska's Extended Life Sanctuary (a no kill animal shelter) in Nikiski Alaska. She said that I started this and yes, a few years ago I initiated a collection at work (yes, at the strip club) that led to a few, we collected money for dogs and cats and women and children. These are the things that feel good inside my soul. Thank You Diann for doing this!





My song on every New Year's Day is U2's New Year's Day .

All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you, be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

I will be with you again
I will be with you again

Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered, black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says

Say it's true, it's true
We can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one

I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again

Oh, maybe the time is right
Oh, maybe tonight

I will be with you again
I will be with you again

And so we are told this is the Golden Age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you, be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

Well, this is it....2016 is coming to and end and 2017 is about to begin. I hope you feel good about that. If not, it's OK.....in a few weeks, even a few days, everything will be back to normal again.
To all of you wherever you are.....I hope you are warm, safe and in good health and spirits.
Happy New Year, Gott Nytt År - I will see you in 2017.

Here are my pictures from this months shoot with Cindy at Three Kids Mine in Henderson Nevada. This is where you can find an amazing work of art called Wheel of Misfortune painted by somebody called Aware. I love this location. I am glad we (me and Cindy) went out there and did the shoot. Thank You Cindy! ❤

Since I threw in some of my 2016 selfies I also need to show you Chhaya's pretty 2016 pics. My much loved baby girl.....so amazing in every way. Just look at her! ❤







Proud Mama. With her little mousy babies.....







Many hugs to all the responsible, caring and loving pet parents out there. Animals.....ALL animals are amazing and beautiful. Please respect them and be kind to them. ❤

A few months ago I came across this ad while browsing through a magazine.



So for the meager cost of $47 (if paid in advance) or $67 (if paid at door) you can learn how to take the "perfect selfie" to best represent yourself on social media. And feel fabulous. Then there is some lame mention about inner and outer beauty connection, nutrition and bla bla bla. Really now?
Well, if you give me.....say $40 I will teach you how to take a perfect selfie. I can meet you at a local coffee shop and give you a lesson, my latte is on you. In fact I feel so generous and kind that I will teach you now, for free! Take camera, point at yourself and snap pic. TADAAAAA! Selfie! I take many pics of all kinds of stuff. I must never lose my phone because whomever finds it will discover a treasure picture wise. Quite a collection of pics in my phone of all kinds of interesting things.....I renamed my phone to "the selfie machine" a while back.
I wonder if anyone paid and attended this perfect selfie class? Seriously.....don't. What is this world coming to.....LOL? Oh and I might as well throw in a small lecture on skincare now. For free. Avoid smoking. Even secondhand smoke if possible. Unfortunately I have been unwillingly subjected to way too much secondhand smoke - gross. Avoid drinking too much and hard drugs. Or you will look like a wrinkle face in your mid 30's or earlier. Unless you don't care that is and if you don't care then hey - good for you. I have seen ladies in their mid 30's with more wrinkles on their face than my butthole has wrinkles (it must be their inner beauty shining through). But life will also age you because life eventually does. And tanning beds. I wish I would had never used a tanning bed. Not good for you. As far as nutrition goes I can't give any valuable lessons because I don't diet and I eat a lot of sugar, something that is supposedly not good for you.
I don't drink enough water either. Perhaps I should start......? I have a vision of me starting each day with a large glass of water with some lemon in it followed by 30 minutes of yoga. Yeah right......maybe one day. I have been so lazy lately with exercise and even washing my face.....whatever I'm just not motivated. And I like exercising and washing my face, I promise!
Well, here are some of my latest selfies from my selfie machine. I might as well throw in these 2016 selfies before the year is over. New ones next year.
No filter or blur tools here......if you see an "imperfection" then you can zoom in on it and inspect it even closer. At least I look this way in real life too. Do not fall for the mostly fake world of Instagram.
Tired, just woke up and cold early morning at work.



Trying on a friend's glasses after a loooooong day.



Golden sunshine.



Looking cranky.



Hello Kitty.

XOXO



And those were just a few of my fabulous selfies.......!

Last night me and my cafe squad had a night out. First we saw the Australian Bee Gees show. One of the girls I work with is married to one of the guys performing in that show - super cute couple. Then we saw Thunder From Down Under. I was trapped in a large room with shrieking ladies of all ages, they brought a woman on stage that was celebrating her 80th birthday and her 60 year old daughter was there too. The birthday girl got special attention and was very happy.
I have seen this show once before. It's not bad but I prefer watching women dancers over male but the guys do put on an entertaining show. We had a really good time laughing and bonding, I really work with a great group of people.





Today at work I found the best radio station ever, tons of 80's and George Michael songs - I was singing all day. I am the singing barista now. And I am still sad over George Michael...... 😥
I made lemonade at work. Isn't that what you are supposed to do when life gives you lemons? Make lemonade?



We have lavender tea. It looks and smells amazing but it barely tastes like anything. I like Earl Grey and English Breakfast and I am also hooked on the Holiday Tea.
