Fashion Friday (April 27th 2012)

Hopefully seeing all the many options available to you might dispel some myths and misconceptions about locally owned clothing stores AND show you some places to buy clothing that you might not have even considered. A good example is  Jewell Day Spa. Yes, its an award winning spa but it also has a very cute retail shop in the lobby with lots of cute things you'll surely love.

This shop wasn't open the day I was walking by but the dresses in the window were so adorable, I snapped a few pictures through the glass anyway.

Adorable spring semi-formal dresses. Aren't they so cute? They look like sparkly little Easter eggs!

What's in a name? Who are the Jossy's and where did they come from?

For one thing my last name has evolved over time. My father spelled his last name Jossy but a few generations back they spelled it Jossi. Go back a few more and it becomes von Jossa.

I couldn't tell you where exactly but I vividly remember one cave that we had to go down through a small opening down into a huge cavern where we camped inside for the night. It was as big as a football field. Another cave we had to wade through red clay almost knee deep. As an adult I visited Montana and we went into a small narrow cave just tall enough to walk upright and narrow enough to be able to touch both sides of the cave with my hands. Probably to the annoyance of my companions, I couldn't help but to sing as we walked because the sound was so amazing in there. Cave resonance I learned recently is a real thing and can be very powerful at healing and accessing our third eye spirituality. If you study religion at all, you know that many mystics and spiritual leaders received inspiration and messages from beyond while spendin
