Mira’s Closet: 4/21/14: What do clothes say?

MClosetMira’s no fashionista, but she definitely has her own sense of style…
And now here’s an update on just that.

First an observation:What a person wears doesn’t define them, but sometimes you can learn a lot about a person from their attire in certain situations. When someone who typically wears bright colors suddenly shows up in something dark or black, they may be trying to make a statement or come off more serious or stern than usual. For someone who wears dark clothing a lot, when they want to impress someone or seem more inviting they may try some lighter colors. But that’s just colors- what about styles. Do different styles say something about the person wearing them? I once had a friend who refused to wear jeans unless some sort of manual labor was involved. To him, denim lacked class. That’s what I like about fashion; there’s something for everyone even if everything isn’t for someone in particular, just like this blog. 🙂

Now here are some style tips/clips from

EC: Giovanni's Angel Tea & Conversation

Tea and Conversation 10: Virginia

teaNtalk

Today I’m sharing a picture of a painting and quote about “tea in the garden”.

Today in my meditation on the Eternal Curse, I’m writing about: Why Virginia?

Who was it who said “Write about what you know”? Well, that’s a whole other issue I don’t feel like getting into right now, but I do like what this phrase means to me. To me “Write what you know” means using aspects of your own understanding to enhance your creativity.

While my EC: Giovanni’s Angel story travels a bit, the majority of the present action takes place in a small fictional town in the U.S. state of Virginia. Here is another example of me putting myself into my writing. It’s no secret that writing about life in a small town and Virginia came easy to me because I’ve lived in many small towns and have lived in Virginia for over twenty years. (I can’t believe I just wrote that. Oh man, how old am I?)

I thoroughly enjoy traveling: seeing new places, trying new things, and learning and experiencing different cultures, but I’m always grateful to have a place to call home when I’m ready to leave. I think my personal sense of Virginia being home to me is reflected in my book. As the Eternal Curse continues many more places will be visited and Giovanni will make other places his residence, but there will always be one place he’ll return to when he needs to feel that sense of “home” and it’s in Virginia.
