A Special 50th Birthday Night

July 16th, 2010 Comments off

Last night, I received a phone call from a lady friend. It was the eve of her 50th birthday, and even though she is much better adjusted than most, it was still a big deal for her.

I would make the reminder for gentlemen that there is an inherent and powerfully structural biological difference for ladies of this age, as they an inline incarnational death around this age – the childbearing person they were since their early teens comes to an end, and a structurally DIFFERENT person comes into being.

So this is NOT about vanity or prettiness; it is a lot more than that on every level and it was little wonder that my friend felt unsure. What she did NOT want to happen is to go into this first night of the 50th year of her life full of regrets, worries, sorrows and loss of life; she wanted something better than that for herself, a celebration to help with this threshold moment, delineated by the way we time and count the days.

We could have easily chatted away the last remaining hour and a half before the clock struck 12 midnight and try and ignore this thing; but I didn’t feel that this was appropriate as it is a highly personal transition so we began to discuss a suitable transitional ritual.

Rather than now performing some kind of “death rite” where one gets involved with all the ne’ermores across one’s entire life, such as, “I will never hold a of my own in my arms again…” and “I’ll never dance to the Rolling Stones live at the Catacomb in a miniskirt again…” I suggested we focus instead just on the year that had just passed, year 49.

What had happened during that year? Read more…

A Visit To A Jewelry Store

July 14th, 2010 Comments off

I think that one of the most exciting times in a little girl’s life is her first visit to a jewelry store. Then again, I think that a lot of never grow out of that of either! There is something magical about looking at all of the sparkling pieces glittering in the jewelry store window, even if you cannot afford to buy everything that you see.

My youngest daughter’s face lit up when she saw all of the lovely children’s items when I first took her to a jewelry store. When we went inside she felt like a princess being able to try on all of the bracelets and necklaces with cute designs and the jewelry store workers seemed to enjoy the of watching her almost as much. When we left the jewelry store with her new bracelet safely wrapped up she was clinging onto the bag as if it was the most precious thing in the world. She still has that bracelet even now, although it has long since gotten too small for her to wear, and it reminds me of that first trip we took to the jewelry store together.

Of course, a jewelry store can also be an extremely romantic place. Sound strange? Well, think about it. How many couples go to a jewelry store together to pick out their wedding rings? I know how electrifying it felt when my fianc? and I went to choose our wedding rings and finally found a jewelry store that had the perfect ones in their window. When we went inside we both had a feeling that this was going to symbolize the start of our new life together and the jewelry store played an important part in that. Read more…
