Birthday Weekend Selfies Gone Wild!!

Selfie Mania

♡♡☆☆

Refreshed My Vampire Red Hair Color yesterday. Also modeling more of my blue mascara with the eyes closed pose. More Smoochie Fish Face Red Lips Poses! LOL!

Oh Say Can You See My Blue Mascara!!

The Daily Press

This place just opened up this week. When I moved to my Brownsville, Brooklyn neighborhood November 2012 this building was a church. Since it is across the street from where we live my roommate and I went to check it out. They serve coffee, tea and vegan goodies. We had the pleasure of speaking with the owner and he seems to be friendly.

Nice space with lots of potential. They are still putting on some finishing touches and it will be slamming as they progress.

My roommate treated me to a mint tea and vegan blueberry muffin. Yummy!

♡ ☆ I Give the Daily Press 4 Stars out of a possible Five. Once they finish all their construction I will give them 5 Stars!

Since my roommate is an artist, writer and playwright I suggested to him that as we continue to patronize the business that he broach the idea of having his play at this shop plus poetry readings and a small art show.

This community coffee — tea shop would be ideal for me to do a poetry performance plus a possible photography show. Of course we would be charging a nominal fee for our artistic/creative productions. The Daily Press will make money and We will make money.

Let’s see what the future holds for two artistic and creative people.

SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2016 WEEK 24

With your answers, please remember we are in the SYW world which may not always match our reality.

What is the most fun thing you did in school?

Any type of Art! Also a cinematography class I took in my Senior Year of High School. All we did was watch movies! The funniest part of that semester was when my teacher answered a knock at the door and when he opened it somebody plastered him with a Coconut Cream pie!! LOL!! Shades of Soupy Sales!!

What is your favorite type of dog? (can be anything from a specific breed, a stuffed animal or character in a movie)

Beagles. Had a Beagle named Dolly when I was a little girl. Also I’m a big Snoopy fan.

You are invited to a party that will be attended by many fascinating people you never met. Would you attend this party if you were to go by yourself?

Sure! Why not?! Since I’m a Single Lady I do many activities and attend many functions alone. Great way to meet people and have some interesting conversations

Complete this sentence: Never In My Life Have I….

Bungee Jumped or Parachuted out of a plane. And I never will!! Fear of heights! Riding in an Army helicopter, C 130 & C 140 was enough for me while I was in the Army!

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Just happy not to be in as much pain as I was last week. Those of you who suffer from arthritis and back pain know what I mean. Yesterday I was able to sweep, mop my floor and continue with my Spring Cleaning program! Hooray!! Some days I’m totally sidelined by extreme pain but this past weekend was good and I accomplished lots of cleaning!! Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!!

Looking forward to next weekend and the opportunity to rest, relax and sleep!!

Stephen’s Photo-Collage Art Project

Stephen’s Photo-Collage Art Project

Stephen and I have been working on this project since March. It is ongoing as Stephen can only be with me either during my vacation or when I can get extra days away from work. For safety I cut out the images and Stephen strategically places them on the canvas. We are two Artists working together, channeling our mutual sibling creativity to provide more beauty in the world. I believe Stephen’s Autism gives him special talents and abilities which he expresses in his own unique way. I don’t really care too much for labels but I suppose Stephen’s creations can be put within the category of Folk Art or Outsider Art.

One day with God’s grace, guidance and providence I would like to bring more Art projects and programs to adults with Autism. I think society and the media has such a narrow view of individuals with Autism and my goal is to show them in a different light. I’ve already developed a photography program which I hope will be accepted by agencies that provide services for developmentally disabled adults.

I feel partnerships with small local neighborhood museums and art galleries would be more than willing to showcase artworks from adult developmentally disabled artists. So far I’ve not been able to get buy-in from the organizations that serve the developmentally/intellectually disabled communities but perhaps one day God will open doors for me and Stephen. I have many hopes, dreams and goals but it looks like they will have to wait until I retire in summer 2018. In the meantime I will continue to encouragement, support and showcase my brother Stephen’s art.

Stephen Vincent Palmer ~ Testimony & Praise Report

STEPHEN PALMER ~ Praise Report

As some of you may know my brother Stephen Palmer is developmentally disabled but he does not let that stop him from enjoying life. Autism? What autism? He works and has a full social calendar. I should be so lucky!! LOL!

Stephen received an excellent report from his teachers and instructors at AABR. Stephen has 20/20 vision. No diabetes. His high blood pressure and cholesterol are under control. At age 52 he is in perfect health. Stephen always enjoys expressing himself through art. He likes to draw so I will get him some art supplies.

He uses his stipend to romance 2 ladies, Maxine and Robin. Robin is his dance partner at QCP Friday night social. They probably spend lots of time dancing to Michael Jackson who is Stephen’s favorite singer/entertainer. Stephen also likes to but Cologne and sunglasses. He’s living la vida loca!

Even with some cognitive difficulties Stephen is able to make his needs known, perform janitorial work at various locations, enjoys a fitness program that includes walking the treadmill, lifting weights, swimming and learning to play soccer.

To make himself understood he uses his own form of sign language. Obviously it works for him and Maxine and Robin are happy to enjoy Stephen’s company. LOL!! My brother the Ladies Man!!

To all the doctors who back in 1963 told our parents Edward & Mable Palmer that Stephen at only age two was hopeless and would not be able to learn or improve, to just put him away in an institution, God is laughing at you now!! Praise God that my parents did not listen to the doctors negative reports but took Stephen home and raised him in a normal, happy, loving home environment. Stephen has surpassed all expectations and I’m sure our parents are smiling down from Heaven at his amazing progress. To all parents and siblings of special needs children ~ BELIEVE! Believe in God, yourself and most of all your child’s ability to overcome any disability and go beyond any medical diagnosis!!

The Transience of Memory

The Memory much like a Salvador Dali Painting is filed with surrealist things using ever day objects, that slip and slide out of the doorways in our mind. Windows roll up and down on their own, doors open and close arbitrarily. You’ve entered a dimension where the normal scientific rules are bent on an everyday basis. Youth can be restored if we can just get to the crick of life and heads like dogs lap up the youth sustaining water. Memory is a Bizzaro land in which we create dreams. Memory is the vast wasteland where we recreate our past and try to control and shape the future.
