GETTING THERE….

As you can see there is a lot of progress here, spend hours again Skyping with Roshanda and with her help found what I needed for the moment. If you like to become a follower you get automatically updated ( I think) and if you have a link or a blog it gets there and my followers can become your followers or your followers may become mine, interaction, communication, messages, find friends, anything is possible.

Since a few days I exercise half an hour in the morning, first thing! My sister Nelly, who lives in England, was telling me that she was doing that before going on a 10 mile walk with the dog. Now, I have no dog so I don’t have to do that but the exercise is good I think, specially if you spend most of your time sitting or standing. First stretch a little bit and walk around on your toes stretching as much as you can, trying to reach the ceiling and after that a bunch of classic moves like reaching your feet or floor with your hands while your legs are straight and push ups and push downs, what ever you feel your body needs. When I feel I am done with that I get to the good part and that is to dance! I can’t imagine a better exercise, just 3 or 4 songs dancing as wild as you can. I like to dance to George Harrison ( cloud nine) at the moment but Micheal J is of course great to dance to and Prince! When we lived in Los Angeles in the 90ties I was for a while the private designer for Paula Abdul, will talk about that later, I just wanted to say what a great dancer she is and it was great fun to go with her when dancers came to audition for her, it blew me away how good some were. Dancing was my first passion and I glued pictures of Ana Pavlova in my “picture book” while most other girls in the orphanage clipped and glued pictures of the royal family because the only magazines we got to cut up or see were about Royalty and Ana probably had danced for the queen. So Dancing! any music you like will do and nobody sees you or if you want to be seen you can video it and put it on Youtube. So funny all that possibilities. OK then, today I was not only on the computer but I made a necklace from beads I had laying around, did not work on my coat for awhile because the computer has taken a lot of my time…

STARTING ALL OVER..

OK, I already told you I am new at this and the other blog I had before was apparently not the good one, the difference being that in the one I had first you are somehow not in total control but in this one you are! There are more widgets and Plug-ins too ( yes, I am learning)! The thing is that I am so lucky that my “daughter” Roshanda Gilmore has a website where she teaches just that and she knows a lot! As soon as I know how, I will put her link because it is really incredible, she sees my screen and I see hers and together with her guidance you go from one thing to the next. Honestly, after 3 hours I was totally computer exhausted but here I am. Still lots of things to do but you will see the progress!

What I have in mind is to make a sort of “reality” blog, you know, everyday something happens, either in your mind or in your daily life. We, my husband of whom I will talk later and I, live in Oregon, USA, in the country about 16 miles from Portland, in  a district called Sherwood ( like in Robin Hood) not to far from Mount Hood! The best Robin Hood movie is with Errol Flynn, the father of a friend but not for that reason. My husband, Salvador Maron, is an artist painter and we have a son, Alejandro, who is a Fashion designer in Madrid (Spain) and a daughter Alegria who lives in Los Angeles and is an artist and a business woman and a mother of 3 children. Alijah is a girl of 12, Dashaun is a boy of 5, Amara is a girl of 9 months.

Ok,tomorrow is an other day and there are a lot of  things to do. Right now maybe look at a movie and oh, the other day we saw a really good one, “The Chess Players” directed by Satyajit Ray. The movie is from the seventies but it plays in 19th century India. It is so well done and such a gorgeous costumes and images, very soothing. Ray is an Indian ( from India) director and considered a master, which he is. OK, hopefully tomorrow I will be able to change the background colour and the letters and put some Links, URL’s,Plug-in’s,Tags, Widgets, Custom-fields, Ping-back or Draft-back ……….., wonderful!
