“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake.” —Francis Bacon Sr.

As of this morning I am leaving this year more changed than most years that have come before. I can relate this year in a way to becoming a mother, wife, grandmother or losing someone deeply loved the most of all. Those are the types of years that mold your being, evoke great changes, tear at the fibers of who you thought you were.
What if…just what if, in those hugely transforming years we learned to sew, knit or crochet, or even paint the tears into new, more beautiful and stronger fibers? If we did not leave the struggle or change as a gaping hole for fears and anxieties and anger to dwell, but instead created a new way to be.
We can do that, you know.
These past years have been trying for everyone in so many ways. The added illness a challenge at best for me. As I have said before I had to pick up and examine a lot of things to see if they belonged in my world, and be strong enough to acknowledge and face those things. But also flipping to add new things that should be included or added and build a more joyous place, where I can stand tall in the knowledge that I’m on the right path, living to the beat of my ability and with joy.
”As we grow older and wiser, we begin to realize what we need and what we need to leave behind. Sometimes there are things in our lives that aren’t meant to stay. Sometimes the changes we don’t want are the changes we need to grow. And sometimes walking away is a step forward.” —Unknown
Wherever you are on your journey, know that you are worthy of your own self care, if you resolve to do anything with 2022, do that. With every fiber of your being. Love openly, live with an open heart, keep your mind open and your hands and feet busy. Breath in the fresh air, laugh with a child, hug that extra long moment with a squeeze at the end.
Happy New Years
Love, Sue
It's link also, not gonna lie, gasp-inducingly handsome. Both back and front – that METAS-certified MT5602-IU link is almost as nicely turned link out on the back, as the watch is topside – it's got all the sable seductiveness of an SR-71 Blackbird. Unlike the spy plane, though, the color scheme of the BB Ceramic isn't driven by practical considerations – it is, instead, design for the sake of design.
Instead, what we have is a global event on a smaller scale than the pandemonium that was the original MoonSwatch launch. And what's for sale is a limited (production-wise) special edition link Mission to the Moon with Moonshine link gold-coated hand. link When you spell it out like that, it sort of loses its luster a bit. But I'm the kind of person that likes to read between the lines.
Today, I'm very proud to introduce you to two remarkable men and one unforgettable watch. It's the incredible story of how a Tudor Submariner played a part in forging a lasting bond between link 1st Lieutenant, USMC, Barry Jones, and 3rd Hospital Corpsman, USN, link Lorrie McLaughlin, bridging a 50-year gap between the battlefield in Vietnam link and their lives today.
Guilloche is the prominent decorative technique employed on the contrasting shapes of the dial – adding to the geometry and imparting a depth of texture and light play. Makes you want to run your fingers across link the grooves of the dial, but I wouldn't recommend doing that. Luckily, there's a sapphire crystal to protect people like myself from link wreaking absolute havoc when coming into contact with one of these $205,000 link watches.
By 1998, the ref. 5036 added a power reserve indication and a moonphase. The 5035 ended production in late 2004, link after which it was replaced in 2005 link by the 5146 which was similar but benefited from a more refined design and updated 39mm link case sizing.
