Beautiful Woman over 50: Fatimah’!

Friday, October 7th, 2011

FATIMAH'

I enjoy sharing women that are interesting and Fatimah’ is one of those women. I recently met her to ask some questions in order for you to get to know her better. She is so into music and has her own website where she is the DJ. Finding out that we both listened to Matt the Cat and Kid Leo on WMMS, the home of the Buzzard, back in the glory days of rock in the 70′s was actually not a surprise…

What was the name of the first record you ever bought?

I remember it well…it was “Think”, by James Brown and The Famous Flames. This song made me dance, and I love dancing.

Who was your favorite female singer while growing up?

It was “Esther Phillips”. Esther’s voice is sultry & unique. Take a listen…

What is the one thing you have to put on that makes you feel good about leaving the house?

I have to say, it’s an essential oil called “Ylang Ylang” and I only use the one from the company, Young Living. It makes me feel empowered, seductive, creative, and magnetic.

What is your favorite comfort food?

It’s either Ben & Jerry’s or Haagen Daz’s Butter Pecan ice cream, or, this Greek Honey Vanilla yogurt that I get at the health food store.

What’s your favorite and least favorite thing about being over 50?

If there was anything that is my least favorite thing about being over 50, I guess it would be that I don’t have the physical strength and tenacity that I used to have: I don’t last like I used to! But my favorite things are I feel more conscious, more aware, and feel like I have wisdom.

What is your most favorite thing to do that is “creative”?

Dancing, singing, drumming, storytelling: I love them all!

Do you feel optimistic about the future? And, what keeps you going?

Oh yes. I do feel optimistic about the future! And what keeps me going are the possibilities. The unknown. The trusting. And the knowing.

What is part of your daily routine that makes you feel good?

I have a internet TV Station, **“One Outrageous place on the Internet” ‘Shabazz 7777‘ WRNU Internet TV**.

Check it out by clicking here: http://www.viewerone.com/channels/wrnu

I get such a good feeling and so much enjoyment while selecting the music or Informative Documentaries for each show, knowing that those good vibes are being passed along and shared; that is something that I love to do! Tune in from 7pm – 7am every day to feel it!

My New Red Shoes

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

JANE

I have a pair of new red shoes from a company that I want to highly recommend to our readers. I didn’t think I’d ever write again about shoes, especially red ones, but I can’t help it. I love my wonderful new shoes, “filled with millions of tiny air bubbles” from a British company called Hotter Shoes.

They approached us at Oops50 recently and asked if we would like to try out a pair of their shoes, and of course I agreed to be a guinea pig—who wouldn’t want a new pair of shoes with the emphasis on comfort, right? I was a little worried though, that I might be signing up for what our mothers would have called “comfortable shoes.” You know the type: big, wide shoes with thick soles that come in either white or black. Well, I went tho their site and was pleasantly surprised; the shoes looked good, but they actually look even better in person.

Jane's New Hotter Shoes!

These are not ugly, comfort shoes of the variety worn by old ladies with bunions. These are stylish and comfortable shoes—to tell you the truth, I didn’t believe those two words could go together. And even though the company’s name brought immediately to mind the movie, “Kinky Boots,” while there is nothing kinky going on, these are definitely hot shoes!

They come in all kinds of different designs. And they are incredibly comfortable. No aches and pains. No sore toes. And, they come in wide sizes without looking wide. Check out their site, and if you order a pair, do let me know if you agree with me. And if you have a moment or two, let me know what your most comfortable shoe is, Ok?

Sadhvi Sez: Finding the Balance through Sound

Friday, June 24th, 2011

OH MORNING GLORY!

My husband’s iPhone flashed an alert last night while we were sitting on the front porch, cooling off from a hot work day, drinking a beer. Some sort of App that he has that sends reports when they come in, no doubt. That alert said that a chunk of the sun had spewed out into space, and that some of it was going to be hitting the earth and cause possible electromagnetic disturbances. Maybe today. And nothing more about when, where, or what that will mean. I don’t have an iPhone, and I don’t watch Fox news or any TV, so I wouldn’t have known. Hmmm, maybe it IS better to not know about everything, cuz I was wondering about that all day.

Even if I don’t want to know about “THE BIZARRE INTENSE NEWS OF THE MOMENT”, I keep hearing about it. There’s something or someone telling you the latest thing that JUST happened, or is about to happen, that is kind of mind blowing. I mean, really, an electromagnetic storm? What does that mean???

So when I stumble upon things that I find quite amazing, to keep the balance, I like to share them.

This week’s “finding the balance” share is Eric Whitacre‘s most amazing project with a virtual choir.

So do yourself a favor: click below and bliss out,

Sadhvi Sez: It’s No Secret that Life is Beautiful!

Friday, June 10th, 2011

SADHVI

I think that because life is so absurd these days, I am coming to a place inside myself where I feel at peace with it. Funny, huh? You too?

In spite of this, I can’t help but notice an occasional “odd thing” popping up on my radar every now and again. Like how the media has just about dropped any news coverage of the nuclear meltdown(s) in Japan. Like it never happened. Oh I know, I mean really, why worry us, the masses, about something that is out of control, right? It’s just that, oh, never mind…I will just not think about those kind of things.

Something funny that I saw and wanted to pass along…The Secret was a big thing a few years back, and there are people that I bump into who just “discovered” it and can’t believe how amazing it is today.

Like attracts like and it’s really as easy as that! Just wish for a new car, or even a check in the mail for a million dollars, and it will appear. I mean, it was all there in the book and you could even see people just like me and you who experienced it: OMG! Many, many people spent money and made the people who came up with this incredible idea very rich. Well, it’s no secret that the founders fought and sued each other over who would get all that money and no longer talk to each other.

Here’s a funny clip that made me laugh, from the Austrailain TV comedy satire show, “The Chaser’s War on Everything” that makes fun of “The Secret”:

Whatever your space these days, I do hope you feel more optimistic than pessimistic, and remember…during these intense times, try to do what one of my favorite new illustrator’s, Katie Daisy, says to do:

Beautiful Women over 50: Peggy Sands!

Friday, February 25th, 2011

PEGGY SANDS

Peggy Sands is not only a beautiful woman over 50, but she’s an artist that I like a lot. And since I don’t like everything that I see these days that is called “art”, and I didn’t know that she did such beautiful paintings, I wanted to share her with you.

She paints murals. She paints with colors that make me squeal. Go to her website and buy some of her paintings. Or have her make a mural for your bedroom or living room. The world needs more art and more artists like her.

WAITING FOR YOU IN MY GARDEN

Just for fun, I asked her to answer 5 questions recently, and here is what she said:

1. What was the name of the first record you ever bought?

Rubber Soul: THE BEATLES

THE BEATLES: RUBBER SOUL

2. What is the one thing you have to put on or have on that makes you feel good about leaving the house? And, what is your favorite perfume?

It’s a bracelet I got for Christmas that makes me feel really special when I remember to wear it. And Nina Ricci L’Air De Temps is my favorite perfume.

REMEMBERING TUSCANY I

ELAND PASSAGE

BOYNTON CANYON

3. What is your favorite comfort food?

Almonds and raisins maybe? No, wait, I can’t do comfort food – I’m on the diet from hell to try to revive my adrenals and thyroid.

Oh, I know, oatmeal raisin cookies or Miso soup (Can you believe it? Miso? Comfort? So embarrassing!).

4. Have you found the perfect bra?

Yes! One from Victoria’s Secret, I got it years ago and I still like it a lot.

5. What’s your favorite and least favorite thing about being over 50?

I never ever think about it. But, if I have to think about it, the least favorite I suppose is wrinkles and the body falling apart slowly but surely. And the best is loving and accepting myself, and not beating myself up anymore, and becoming whole.
