Some people can't see their own lives....
They need a hero.
They live in a kind of darkness.
They think that the only way they can see is by using someone else's light.
-GOD ( Joan of Arcadia )
I've been watching old 'Joan of Arcadia' re-runs and I always take something away from this simple, yet, really deep T.V. show...
(which was cancelled after only 2 seasons...)
I love it when I hear something that I've heard a thousand different ways, then hear it in a different medium and it resonates as if I am hearing some kind of universal truth for the first time! I love that!
Many people would say that it's because you weren't 'ready' to hear it....
I suppose that's a sort of way to express why I started style blogging - to meet cool people, and think about why I have chosen to dress a certain way, and find other's who can relate to my choices and hold a lighted mirror to my face, and in a thoughtful comment, say "you rock", whether they "like" what I'm wearing or not - who are my lights!
and I could never list them all,
but there is one who comes to mind right away, and that is The Citizen Rosebud, who is such a great friend and mentor to have in my corner.
My Mom #2, My Brother
and Sister-in-law, and so many more!
All the people who pop by with encouraging thoughts,
(You know who you are ;)
And for this I say Thank you...
You Rock :)
Check out my blog-roll for more great lights,
I finally up-dated it ;)
And if I missed someone, please let me know...
xXx

I need to go back, and watch that show. I always forget how great it was. I think we all need positive lights in our lives, and for ourselves to be enough as well. I'm going to try telling myself I'm a rockstar sometime, because if an amazing woman like you does it, I know it will work for me. Keep shining your light Reva, and don't let anyone burn you out.
I know exactly what you mean about finding or hearing things in something you've heard or seen before. I was like that with Joanie Mitchell's "Both Sides Now."
Reva--we all love you! {hugs}
Reva! I just woku up 4:30 am with an anxiety attack. Horrible stuff. Tired and exhausted but trying to keep going. and I see your wonderful face on my FB wall, and come over here and read your wonderful words- oh thank you my dear friend! You really touch me, I feel like we've been pals forever, and to think just a short while and because I saw you rockin' it out on Weardrobe! LOL. You rock, that is all I can say- you are a bright light! xo. Bella Q

The Citizen Rosebud is an encouragement to so many! The boots are stunning.
the boots are to die for!
do you still do your blog where you sell your clothes?
Reva~I never watched that series either, but I know what you mean about resonating. Sometimes things just hit you.
those boots are really cut on you but I have this thing against wearing boots in the summer--its just that I have to wear them so long in the winter....
And what do you say to someone who dosent have your blog on their blog role? I mean, what if they dont like your blog? ps. is mine on yours?
