The SJP Puzzle

By John C on  From fashion.ahfree.com
You know I adore SJP, and you know I spent most of 2009 in a bad mood with her over the dreaded SATC sequel. It's so hard to find fault with SJP because she's such a sweetie (have you watched her on Letterman? You just want to be her BFF) but she just keeps doing things to annoy me.This time it doesn't involve Sex and the City, it's about one of my favourite labels: Halston. If I could live in any decade for the fashion it would be the 1970's, because I absolutely adore Halston's work. His...Read Full Story

sunday inspirations...one mother's mother's day thoughts

By sojournersplace on  From sojournersplace.blogspot.com
Why don't they talk to me and share their inner-most secrets? They use to when they were younger? Now that they are older, they have their own lives to which I often attempt to pry in order to be a part. Seems, though, that no matter how much prying or gentle prodding I might do - their openness seems to close just at that very moment when I'm feeling a break through.I look or think about them in wonderment sometimes, hoping and praying that I have given them all that they need to be...Read Full Story

still feeling the joy

By sojournersplace on  From sojournersplace.blogspot.com
For obvious reasons, I'm still feeling the joy of the recent unveiling of the Sojourner Truth bust in the U.S. Capitol earlier this week. So, ya'll please indulge me for a bit as I continue celebrating with yet another post on this historic event.First, I must admit that I was not familiar with the artist who sculpted the Sojourner Truth bust, Artis Lane. I took a look at her website and was struck by the depth of her sculptures and the emotion that seemed to fill them. But to learn that this...Read Full Story
