DeBorah & Stephen Holiday Soulful Strut

 
Today Stephen and I took advantage of the 50 degree temps and mild weather to take in the Holiday Sights/Sites and Sounds of Manhattan.  I featured some photos in my previous post but here are some quirky and fun things we spotted while walking from 42nd Street Grand Central Terminal as we made our way towards 34th Street Penn Station.  From East to West and All the Best!

Happy Holidays! Happy Hanukkah! Merry Christmas!  Joyful Kwanzaa & Happy New Year!

Grand Central Terminal Holiday Market & Model Train Display Exhibit

Please excuse the quality of the videos. I’m still an amateur video person. Please Do Enjoy Stephen’s Great Smile and the wonderful Sights/Sites and Sounds of the Grand Central Terminal Holiday Market and the fascinating Model Train Display.  The Video of the Holiday Market came out upside down and backwards and no amount of editing seems to help. Anyway please Enjoy the other videos and photos. I must re-do the Holiday Market.  Yes. I know I have a lot to learn when it comes to creating videos!

The video of the Holiday/Christmas Windows featured at the Department Store Lord & Taylor came out very well.  Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to All!  Happy Kwanzaa to all my African American Followers/Subscribers!

I Love the Color Orange and was Fortunate to capture many depictions of Orange for this Fall/Autumn/Halloween Season.  Orange is a color with Spice, Brilliance and warmth all resonating and mingling together. Orange is a Happy Color! ❤  🙂    😀    ❤

My Ancestors ~~ My Heritage

I find my Identity in Them

 

 

These are Ancestor Heritage photos were mostly taken during the 19th Century not too long after Civil War.  Mostly from my Dad’s side mainly Dad’s Mom, My Grandmother Eva Gordon Palmer.  Others were taken during the 1940s and 1950s.

The more recent ones especially those with my parents, Stephen and me were taken during between 1959 when I was born up to and including the early 1990s.

Today’s Forgiving Fridays: Loving My Inner 12-Year Old

Supporting and Uplifting Tanya from Montreal

My Artist buddy who displays her artwork at 14th street Union Square Subway station.

Tanya is seeking to rent a room in an area safe for young Ladies. If you have a reasonable price room close to Manhattan please email me at deborah.palmer280@gmail.com and I will contact Tanya. Thanks.

Working as a museum security guard I don’t have much to give but I always make sure that Tanya has a few dollars.  Tanya has a spirit of Gratitude and Thankfulness. We now share emails about once a week.

Though I was never able to have children of my own I find that God often sends me young women of all races and faiths who need encouragement. Those of us who have passed that half century mark have the benefit of maturity, perspective and experience. Young Ladies don’t always have that and need guidance from older women. I do my best to help. Sometimes young women just need a listening ear. They have pressures and stresses unique to this Digital Age.

As an Elder of the Global Community I’m here to uplift young women. I let them know that they can confide in me about anything. No shame. No guilt. No judgement. Sometimes young women fault themselves and feel like they are stupid I let them no that they are not stupid you just did not know. You did not have the information and now you do. It takes time to get to the level of courage, strength and self confidence and everyone arrives at a different time.

 

Isaiah 54:1

New International Version (NIV)

The Future Glory of Zion

54 “Sing, barren woman,
    you who never bore a child;
burst into song, shout for joy,
    you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
    than of her who has a husband,”
says the Lord.

 

 

New York ~~ City of Dreams. May All of Tanya Dreams come true.

Today’s Forgiving Fridays: What is Really Important? 🙂


 

Here is more artwork from my 14th Street Union Square buddy Tanya from Montreal, Canada. One of the great things about working the evening/late shift is meeting subway artists who are displaying and selling their artworks on or around the subway station. Tanya is a lovely French Canadian young lady from Montreal. I’m always happy to see and talk with her. I try to give her a couple of dollars because I know how difficult life is for young people. She is a Blessing.
