The day I met u I saw strength
and I knew from that point on
that u were pure woman 2 me
possessing a spirit that was strong
I want smiles 2 replace the sorrow
that u have encountered in the past
and since it was strength that attracted me 2 u
it will take strength 2 make it last
My negative side will attempt 2 change u
but please fight that with your all
it will be your strength that keep us both standing
while others around us fall

Strength in diversity
It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. -- Audre Lorde

Depuis mai 2015, la municipalité de Tielt-Winge -Belgium, dans le Brabant flamand, est un lieu qui témoigne de la singularité de l'architecture de paysage. Une structure fascinante qui atténue la distinction entre une tour et un escalier flotte au-dessus du célèbre Kabouterbos ( forêt de conte de fées) et attire la curiosité de nombreux résidents et passants de Tielt. Le volume fascinant de l’acier est revêtu d’acier inoxydable de haut en bas.
Les exigences du cahier des charges reflétaient cet objectif: la nouvelle tour devait être entièrement construite en métal, mesurer au moins dix mètres de haut, comporter un abri et résister à toute forme de vandalisme.
Au lieu d'une construction classique avec un escalier en colimaçon, le designer a conçu un volume suspendu sans trop de fioritures décoratives. Le «Vlooybergtoren», comme on l'appelle, mesure 11, 28 mètres de haut (la plate-forme supérieure déborde de 10, 08 mètres + mur de rambarde de 1, 20 mètre) et est construit sur une sous-structure galvanisée revêtue d'acier patiné, une allusion subtile au typique brun-rouge. couleur de la pierre de fer dans la région de Hageland. Au total, l’imposante tour d’escalier ne pèse pas moins de treize tonnes.
Selon les propres mots du concepteur, la modélisation de la tour Vlooyberg était «une guerre contre son propre poids». Pour s'assurer que la structure serait suffisamment solide et ne s'affaisserait pas, il calculait manuellement les forces agissant sur chaque élément. Ses conclusions ont donné à la tour d'escalier sa forme et ses dimensions ultimes. La structure évolue de grande, lourde et forte, à petite, légère et mince. Le mur de garde-corps fonctionne comme une poutre structurelle qui confère à la structure en acier une solidité et une stabilité suffisantes pour résister aux forces agissant sur elle. Deux amortisseurs de vibrations garantissent que la tour d'escalier ne commence pas à vibrer sous le pied.
La structure a été entièrement préfabriquée et assemblée sur le site section par section. En fin de compte, l'installation n'a duré qu'une demi-journée. En tant que monument à forte valeur iconique, la tour Vlooyberg met en valeur, au sens propre et figuré, le profil de la belle région autour de Tielt-Winge. Les habitants de Tielt, les passants fortunés et les amateurs d'architecture moderne apprécient énormément ce monument fascinant.
Since May 2015, the municipality of Tielt-Winge -Belgium, in Flemish Brabant, has been a place that bears witness to the uniqueness of landscape architecture. A fascinating structure that softens the distinction between a tower and a staircase floats above the famous Kabouterbos (fairytale forest) and attracts the curiosity of many residents and passers-by of Tielt. The fascinating volume of the steel is coated with stainless steel from top to bottom.
The specifications reflected this objective: the new tower had to be constructed entirely of metal, be at least ten meters high, include a shelter and be resistant to all forms of vandalism.
Instead of a classic construction with a spiral staircase, the designer designed a suspended volume without too many decorative frills. The "Vlooybergtoren", as it is called, is 11.28 meters high (the upper platform overhangs 10.08 meters + guardrail wall of 1.20 meters) and is built on a coated galvanized substructure. of patinated steel, a subtle allusion to the typical brown-red. color of the iron stone in the Hageland region. In total, the imposing staircase tower weighs no less than thirteen tons.
In the designer's own words, the modeling of the Vlooyberg Tower was "a war against its own weight". To ensure that the structure would be strong enough and not sag, he would manually calculate the forces acting on each element. His findings gave the staircase tower its ultimate shape and dimensions. The structure evolves from big, heavy and strong, to small, light and thin. The guardrail wall functions as a structural beam which gives the steel structure sufficient strength and stability to withstand the forces acting on it. Two vibration dampers ensure that the stair tower does not start to vibrate underfoot.
The structure was completely prefabricated and assembled on site section by section. In the end, the installation only took half a day. As a monument of high iconic value, the Vlooyberg Tower highlights, literally and figuratively, the profile of the beautiful region around Tielt-Winge. Tielt residents, wealthy passers-by and lovers of modern architecture greatly appreciate this fascinating monument.
The Oak Leaf Cluster has long been a symbol of strength and valor so it is only fitting this Bald Eagle would be carrying it.
Never confuse my desire for peace with a lack of resolve. Restraint is not weakness, nor is mercy a lack of strength. I choose peace because I know the weight of violence, the scars it leaves, and the cost it demands. But threaten those I love, and you will find my will unshakable, my defense unwavering. The same hands that offer comfort can strike with precision, and the heart that seeks harmony can burn with righteous fury. My patience is boundless, but my protection is absolute: a force immovable, unyielding, fierce.

whenever there is a storm, trees are broken, destroyed, no matter how big they are, they cannot resist the force of the wind. Even the strongest trees are like a toy for strong winds. The bamboo isn't. Bamboo bends, it flexes, nearly touches the floor, but never breaks. It resists the storms, the strongest winds. Yet, it keeps its delicate structure.
Like the bamboo is a good man's character. A man can undergo hard, difficult, tough times, for which he must adapt, but must never break, never lose his sense of self. A man must keep his essence now matter how bad the world is treating him.
These past few days I had the opportunity to collaborate on a project with Jack Hanby
It has been a great experience all along and I had the chance to observe another stylist in action! His incredible talent
Our project was the setup of an Industrial Bar-Bistrot. There were 4 areas to work on. The counter/kitchen where you can see all of Jack's incredible talent in combining materials, styles and different pieces of furniture, the cafe area with small tables, the lounge that we decorated together and the entryway.
Thank you Jack for the honor to work with you side by side. Looking forward to our next project!

"The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him."
- Psalm 28:7
If you look closely at the centre of this pink granite cross, under the lichen that has been growing there for nearly a century, you will see the outline of a shield. I can't tell you if anything was written under that lichen, I was not going to disturb it, but the combination of cross and shield is an intriguing one. There was no stylised Celtic carving on this cross, but the green lichen certainly brought a Celtic Cross to mind. Set against that fiery sunset that was starting to manifest itself, I was reminded of the great protection prayer of St Patrick (The Breastplate or Shield):
"I bind to myself to-day,
The Power of God to guide me,
The Might of God to uphold me,
The Wisdom of God to teach me,
The Eye of God to watch over me,
The Ear of God to hear me,
The Word of God to give me speech,
The Hand of God to protect me,
The Way of God to prevent me,
The Shield of God to shelter me,
The Host of God to defend me..."
And there's plenty more, because Patrick was truly a fearless man:
You won't see my tears...
You won't see the pain you've caused...
I'm done mourning what was.
I'm bruised but not broken
I'll always love you but,
I don't want you.
I don't need you.
I deserve better.
I will have better.
I'm stronger than you think.
Goodbye.
This is for a good friend who is going thru a lot of pain.
I have a dear friend who is going through some difficulties in her life. She has been suffering from an illness not yet diagnosed. She's been losing weight, has fatigue, her body and skin aches and burns and her doctors have been running tests but haven't found an answer for her. I have been thinking about her and her situation a lot lately and wish I could do something to help. If anyone has had similar ailments maybe we could help figure out what is wrong. I'm sending healing and positive vibes out for her and hope that her doctors will finally be able to give her an answer.
Thank you RLB for always believing in me and bringing out the best in everyone you encounter.
"What did I do today? I held up a tree. Yep, I am that strong. I told my mom that I am so strong, I could hold up a bank. She said that would be a bad idea."
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
from "Ode on Intimations of Immortality" by William Wordsworth
Horses are powerful creatures that have lived in a symbiotic relationship with humans for millennia. It is no surprise that we still measure the force of a vehicle in horse power.
