WE ARE ALL ONE



Hello Every One,

A Warmth of love comes over me every time I listen to "Imagine" by John Lennon. My heart hears the message "WE ARE ALL ONE". You can hear John's love and understanding for humanity as You listen to the lyrics. This is the only song that gives me hope for now. I used to think that world peace was just a fairy tale. But now, I see it as a mission worth fighting for. You may ask the question....How? The answer is simple.......... "World peace starts with me". John Lennon knew that creating the new humanism depends on all of us. Establishing the dignity of human life is the one important thing we need to start believing in.


While looking at other videos of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, I notice the olive drab Army & Navy Jackets that he and Yoko One were wearing in a few of them. Before there was Banana Republic, Gap and a few well known chain stores, there was the forever Army Navy Stores .
I remember buying my first Olive drab field jacket that I wore with everything. The Army jacket was a cool trend back in the 80's. We didn't know back then we were creating a classic . It took decades later, the Army Jacket is a staple that makes any outfit you put together cool chic. This one is a vintage (never been used) Danish field jacket. I went back to my fashions roots shopping at "Uncle Sam's - Army Navy Outfitters. You can go online at www.armynavydeals.com to get discounts. The New York Store is located at 37 west 8th street
new york n.y. 10011. Phone 674-2222.



I couldn't pass up these great skirts.
US Air Force dress skirt in navy blue and Parachuteskirt in a classic olive drab. Both skirts
are knee length and the olive drab has a
string tab at the bottom that I can pull .








How can I not complete the outfit without my
South African shoulder bag.

Note: The Grapefruit is another citrus fruit that was cultivated in India more that 4,000 years ago. Now the USA cultivates 97 percent of the worlds supply. The Grapefruit is a subtropical fruit and is highly alkaline in reaction. It is best eaten with other acids fruits and nuts. It is very rich in vitamins C and B. Grapefruit rind has a valuable vitamin P, which is important for healthy gums and teeth.
