Well hello there, fellow liver warrior family.
I am well aware that I have been quiet of late, and I have truly missed blogging or writing in many ways.
I want to check in and say that I am still here, going strong and I am still growing. I hope that in my silence, those of you who follow are still working to heal as well.
My focus has been on a deeper dive of inner growth. It seems that this is something we should always be open to. There is no end game to healing, and we must make every effort to be emotionally, physically and spiritually sound. A little over a year ago I was seeking “equanimity” and I can joyfully say that success is abounding in this area.

After the work of healing my body, then writing my heart out to releasing the book I found myself lost. And realized I still needed some spiritual work.
To keep this short, this mindset is manifesting beautifully in my life in so many ways, faith being a huge piece, amongst other programs such as AA to help me deal with all of my struggles about feeling “different” from many in society. I am finding my emotional maturity growing. It is a bit of a painful process. Growth often includes a space or three of discomfort. But I can happily say that my personal connections with loved ones now run deeper, I am more present for myself and others, I allow myself to feel and express those feelings in a very transparent way (getting better at this), and yeah, I cry pretty easily now. But this is all A-OK!
Liver disease was one of the greatest gifts of my life. I can’t believe that almost four years ago I was lower than low, scared out of my mind and lost beyond belief…so alone.
That is no longer me in so many ways.
I truly hope you all find the resources you need to do the same to the best of your ability.
I’ve been traveling and spreading the good news whenever and wherever I can.
With much love and light….Sue.

The work depicts a near-faceless human form whose torso is link represented by a crashing wave. Turner often incorporates actual water collected from different bodies of link water to make his paintings. Archibong says that the work spoke link to him immediately, "I live on a lake," he says. "If my mind is tangled, getting in the water loosens the knot and slips everything into place. Water is an element that brings me a lot of clarity and helps me to be creative."
The J12 wasn't the first watch made in ceramic, but it was an unexpected choice link for a high-fashion brand with link a less-than-established background in watchmaking. Aesthetically it made perfect sense; the link ceramic allowed a duality of execution, with one reference a pure deep black and the other a shimmering pearlescent white. This choice again aligns with Gabrielle Coco Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld's design cues: an obsession with the dialogue between black and white, a modern play of chiaroscuro.
All told, I think the new Ranger is largely similar to the previous Ranger, but with a focus link on keeping the overall vibe more conventional, more core to the Oyster Prince and Explorer lineage, and evermore a classic take on link a field watch. I think Tudor did well. But in making something so casual and conventional, the brand has link waded into increasingly competitive waters.
Both Audemars link Piguet and Jaeger-LeCoultre, two remaining large brands from the valley, link have their own wonderful museums and are also on the long list of major companies, independent watchmakers, executives, and related businesses in the industry that support the museum both with funding and programming. It truly feels link like the last common meeting ground for one of the most important places in watchmaking.
