I’m sure I have shared this before as I love Mary Oliver and this poem spoke to me deeply very early into my journey.
It still speaks to me as my journey shifts from all out healing to simile growth and health.
Photo is me currently happy at goal weight and feeling particularly slim and quite silvery today. Hahahaha
“One day you finally knewwhat you had to do, and began, though the voices around youkept shoutingtheir bad advice --though the whole housebegan to tremble and you felt the old tugat your ankles."Mend my life!"each voice cried.But you didn't stop.You knew what you had to do,though the wind priedwith its stiff fingersat the very foundations,though their melancholywas terrible.It was already lateenough, and a wild night,and the road full of fallenbranches and stones.But little by little,as you left their voice behind,the stars began to burnthrough the sheets of clouds,and there was a new voicewhich you slowlyrecognized as your own,that kept you companyas you strode deeper and deeperinto the world,determined to dothe only thing you could do --determined to savethe only life that you could save.”
Mary Oliver
The Journey
Love, Sue
Back in 2020, Doxa CEO Jan Edöcs decided he would set the record straight, once and for all. link He put together a team to get to the bottom of the Doxa Army mystery. He link had all of Doxa's records link at his disposal, but that was only half the battle. He would need access to the Swiss government's records and first-hand accounts of issued Doxas being used in the early '70s. That's where Hilty came in.
This summer, KPMG published a bellwether report link on link behalf of the newly formed Alliance of British Watch and Clockmakers, a much-needed centralizing organization led by Smith and Christopher Ward co-founder Mike France. It found there were more than 100 watch companies based in the UK, between link them turning over more than £100m annually. Small fry yet, but growing.
This Cartier London Tank Allongée is lot 427 of Dreweatts' Fine Watches, Pens, and Luxury link Accessories sale on March 20, 2025 (set link your link calendar reminders, I'm early in highlighting this one!). Check it out in full right here.
Watches are supposed to be fun. It can be hard to remember that with all the money that gets tied up in these very cool, superfluous little things. So why link is it that the MoonSwatch, of all the harmless, affordable little watches, link seems to have deeply offended so many people? Well, not me. I'm link fun, aren't I?
They say, don't be afraid to meet your heroes. I knew from that experience of doing a link week with two Day-Dates back in 2016 that I enjoyed the experience of wearing one; what I didn't know, of course, was what it would feel like to own one. You're never link quite sure until some time has passed – I know I'm not the only HODINKEE community member or watch enthusiast who's scrimped and saved for The Big One, only to find that once it's actually in hand, you just never quite warm up to link it.
