Yes, ...Thanks for sharing this touching story <a href="http://artcraftsewingdaily.com/sewing-machines-for-beginners/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Yes, we are at a loss after Bowie died but his family and close friends are much more in grief. We lost a music icon and an inspiration but I just can’t imagine how much pain his loved ones feel right now.Kristine Abathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642402249685425823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229023062005372735.post-80596605917194131472016-01-14T19:01:14.357-05:002016-01-14T19:01:14.357-05:00that IS strange to think about! i wonder what woul...that IS strange to think about! i wonder what would be the equal today? miley cyrus twerking? ugh...<br /><br />thank you for that fantastic earworm (of course you were speeding! how could it be helped?!)marcy harriell | oonaballoonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586073125331744719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229023062005372735.post-86972036162996230832016-01-14T18:59:57.480-05:002016-01-14T18:59:57.480-05:00i have a new one coming, i may go ziggy stardust f...i have a new one coming, i may go ziggy stardust for it...marcy harriell | oonaballoonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586073125331744719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229023062005372735.post-26866869017763111272016-01-14T18:59:32.909-05:002016-01-14T18:59:32.909-05:00you and me both, sister. when i heard about Rickma...you and me both, sister. when i heard about Rickman today, i basically decided a crew of beautiful aliens were heading home. marcy harriell | oonaballoonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586073125331744719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229023062005372735.post-53735049310065155492016-01-14T18:54:40.438-05:002016-01-14T18:54:40.438-05:00and love back at you, thank you for clarifying ins...and love back at you, thank you for clarifying inspire! as for mettle, a healthy dose of "let's see what happens" always helps ;)marcy harriell | oonaballoonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586073125331744719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229023062005372735.post-28435912320210328712016-01-14T13:49:06.540-05:002016-01-14T13:49:06.540-05:002016 is beginning really brutal...

Parents were appalled and as a young teenager I was amazed ... And challenged in a way that helped minds to open. My favourite album was Aladdin sane and I can actually still feel being 18 and driving too fast to the relentless beat of let's spend the night together. magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683334679520535250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229023062005372735.post-22931422916943905022016-01-12T12:33:47.934-05:002016-01-12T12:33:47.934-05:00Yesterday was such a sad day for me, and this post...Yesterday was such a sad day for me, and this post brightened my mood.

Bowie got me through my teen years and helped me walk tall and wear my weirdness proud. But rather than get too lost in the idea of losing, I decided to celebrate with some of his greatest hits while I puttered about the house today. Love your throwback tribute to him!

I think your using the term "inspire" (meaning in spirit or spirit within), when applied to Bowie is more pertinent now than ever before.

Along those lines (and since I can't find a link to contact you directly on your blog): I wanted to tell you that you've been a big inspiration to me recently.
