  Johnnie Lucille Collier (April 12, 1923 – January 22, 2004), known professionally as Ann Miller. She is best remembered for her work in the Classical Hollywood musical films of the 1940s and 1950s. Miller was known, especially later in her career, for her distinctive appearance, which reflected a studio-era ideal of glamour: massive black bouffant hair, heavy makeup with a splash of crimson lipstick, and fashions that emphasized her lithe figure and long dancer's legs. In 1941, she signed with Columbia Pictures, where, starting with Time Out for Rhythm, she starred in 11 B movie musicals from 1941 to 1945. In July 1945, with World War II still raging in the Pacific, she posed in a bathing suit as a Yank magazine pin-up girl. She ended her contract in 1946 with one "A" film, The Thrill of Brazil. The ad in Life magazine featured Miller's leg in a large, red, bow-tied stocking as the "T" in "Thrill". She finally hit her mark in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ...

Royals always live in sprawling, opulent castles or manor houses, with magnificent furniture, and gorgeous canopied beds. Beautiful four-poster beds, inticately carved, and decorated with the best swathes of silk or velvets. But those canopies weren't just there for decoration, they served a functional use too. The canopy bed arose from a need for warmth and privacy in shared rooms. Private bedrooms where only one person slept were practically unknown in medieval and early modern Europe, as it was common for the wealthy and nobility to have servants and attendants who slept in the same room. Even in very modest homes, it was not uncommon to hang a simple curtain across a room to shield the bed from cold drafts and create a sense of division between living space and sleeping space. In the Middle Ages, roofs were also a lot less sturdy and quite draughty. It was pretty common for pests, bugs, and droppings to fall through onto the beds. The canopies above the beds could catch all...

Zwaarden vier en koningin van bekers! Veiligheid. Voel jij je veilig genoeg om je hart volledig te openen? Neem de tijd om naar binnen te gaan. Om uit te vinden waar de hartepijn vandaan komt. Je wordt je bewust van de connectie tussen jouw emoties en de dingen die er in je jeugd gebeurd zijn. Op het moment dat je nu getriggert wordt door een situatie, persoon of een teken, voel je de emotie die je als kind ervaren hebt in een soortgelijke situatie. Sta eens stil bij jouzelf als kind. Haal de druk van de schouders door te erkennen dat je geen schuld had aan de situatie, dat je jezelf mag vergeven en dat je van jezelf houdt. Voel je veilig genoeg om je emoties toe te laten. Ze zijn een deel van jou die je mag erkennen en verwerken. ------------------------ Four of swords and queen of cups! Safety. Are you feeling safe to fully open your heart? Take the time to ho inside. To find out where the pain in your heart is coming from. You are becoming aware of the connection between your emotio...

  As a parent at some point you’re gonna disappoint people not because you’re wrong but because you chose your child over keeping everyone else comfortable you’re gonna say no when others expect a yes you’re gonna set boundaries that people don’t like you’re gonna do things differently and get questioned for it but people pleasing doesn’t protect your child it teaches them their needs come second their comfort is negotiable and i’m not raising a child like that so yes i’ll disappoint people i’ll be the one who says no the one who stands firm the one who doesn’t fold just to be liked because my job isn’t to keep everyone happy it’s to protect and raise my child even if that makes me the “difficult” one

THE GREAT BED OF WARE . The Great Bed of Ware, is an extremely large oak four poster bed. Supposedly made for King Edward IV, and standing a colossal 12 feet square, this unique four-post behemoth of the bedchamber so impressed and enchanted, the King, that he granted the carpenter, a pension for life. Its expertly carved with marquetry, and like many objects from that time, the bed is carved with patterns from European Renaissance art. Originally it would have been brightly painted, and traces of these colours can still be seen on the figures on the bed-head. Although it was painstakingly carved for a royal occupant, the bed then spent centuries being passed from one Inn to another. Over the years, 'commoners' who have slept in the bed, have covered it in graffiti, and damaged the fine carvings. Despite its majesty, The Great Bed of Ware is not the best place for a decent nights sleep.... Those who stayed a night in the Bed, did not find much rest. They would find themsel...

SOUL PURPOSE Every soul takes birth in life with an aim to work towards it's soul purpose, but at times gets waylaid in the by lanes of life. Angels say that it is time to identify your soul purpose and take steps to move in that direction. The journey of each individual soul is unique; the larger picture being to merge with the creator. However this takes beveral hundred if not more lifetimes to achieve. Before each birth our angels and spirit guides chalk out our spiritual journey and purpose. These milestones for this lifetime can be said to be one's soul purpose. The progress each soul makes in each lifetime depends on use of free will within their karmic blue print and the righteous use Of purpose. Each soul's purpose is different and is based on its evolution and age. Some souls have purposes to become healers, whereas others teachers, writers and doctors. Souls on a higher spiritual plane discern early on in life the entrappings of the material world. They beco...

  Teaching my child you don’t sit at tables you aren’t truly welcome at even if you were invited because not every invitation comes with respect and i don’t want you growing up thinking you have to stay just because someone made room for you if you feel overlooked if you feel like you have to shrink to be accepted that’s not where you belong you are allowed to walk away from spaces that don’t feel right you are allowed to choose peace over being included because being wanted will always feel different than just being tolerated and i’d rather you stand alone than sit somewhere you’re not valued

  Niemand bereidt je voor op de stilte die kinderen achterlaten als ze opgroeien... Niet de stilte van een leeg huis, maar die zich zachtjes in je hart nestelt... wanneer ze je niet meer vragen wat ze moeten doen, wanneer ze je raad niet meer zoeken, wanneer ze beginnen te leven... zonder jou. En jij glimlacht, natuurlijk. Want dat is wat je wilde: ze zien uitvliegen. Maar vanbinnen... breekt er iets. Want moeder zijn van volwassen kinderen is iets anders. Het is je woorden inslikken als je ziet dat ze fouten maken. Het is de drang onderdrukken om te bellen als ze niet antwoorden. Het is leren liefhebben zonder te overheersen. Het is van een afstand kijken, met onbeweeglijke handen, en een hart dat beeft. Soms vertellen ze je dingen... maar vaak niet. En jij doet alsof het geen pijn doet. Maar ja, het doet pijn. Het doet pijn om niet meer overal deel van uit te maken zoals vroeger. Het doet pijn om te zien dat ze je niet meer nodig hebben... althans, niet zoals vroeger. En toch ben...
