When I talk about working on your whole being to achieve your ultimate health, I mean literally every little thing. Mind, body, heart, soul…finding new things that spark interest, passion, mindfulness , peace…shall I go on? I could, but you feel me I’m sure.
So a few weeks ago I resurrected my active passion and logged some time on horseback. HUGELY great plan and I’ll do it again.
This week I enlisted my sister in law who is a wizard in all things creative to humor my sudden urge to learn how to crochet. I’ve been obsessed with granny square crafts. Like, creepy obsessed with them. I can’t get enough of them. So I decided I should learn how to make them myself. I had no idea how to do it. She bravely agreed to help me. And I’m doing it!!! Whaaat???? I may be more shocked than she is. I must say she is a patient and kind teacher and lit the fire to help me be even more obsessed.
I’ll leave you with a great reason to try it…the first session with my SIL I honestly thought I was all thumbs, had no game, and was as clunky and awkward as could be. But it’s starting to click!!
One of the reasons crochet is so relaxing is because it allows us to achieve mindfulness, the state of being in which we are fully immersed in the present moment. This gives the mind a much-needed break from worries about the past and future, allowing the brain and body to both rejuvenate themselves. We all know how important anything that can do this for me is. So I’m excited to continue learning…this and anything else that sparks interest.
You should too.
Love, Sue
Check your calendar – the real one, not the one on your phone – it's Halloween weekend! The spookiest time of the year calls for the scariest of movies. This week's pick is less of a sequel and more a continuation of a singular film vision, with a star-studded cast including Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Bill Skarsgard, link and our man of the hour, link James McAvoy. As watch lovers, we have to go the link extra mile and pick horror films that also feature killer timepieces. It Chapter Two does just that.
JC: I think innovation has link gone to a whole different level, from material to advancement to movement technology. Take, for instance, Eco-Drive link going from a core watch with a power reserve of six months to a minimum of a year with E365. Super Titanium, with Duratect – now using different type of DLC link finishes takes it to a totally different level. Even most recently in the mechanical side, there's been a very big interest in the resurgence in development of mechanical watchmaking.
Apple, Fossil and Fitbit publicly urged the Trump administration not to go through link with the tariff escalation, to no avail. All three say it will have an adverse impact on their link business. It will raise the cost of goods and lower gross margins. It may require link them to raise prices on products, which could drive down demand. All told, it will hurt revenue and operating results, they say.
The new link Longines RailRoad (reference L2.803.4.23.0) is much bigger link than the original version, that link measured 35mm instead of the 40mm of today's model. However, a lot of details are very similar on this Longines Heritage version of the RailRoad RR.888.
The absence of a date display also means that, even if link the SBGW262 is called up only for rare special occasions, setting the time can be be done link in just a few seconds. While I think Grand Seiko is actually one of very best when it comes to thoughtfully integrating a date window, typically framing it in such a way that it exists harmoniously among the rest of the dial furniture, this dateless urushi lacquer dial link with maki-e accents benefits very much from "going stag," if you will.
