Disco Dancing in my colorful booties!

Have You been following me on twitter?
Today is my 35th birthday. 35. Wow. I remember when my mom was 35. I was like, 12. But let’s not go there. The point is that I was born in 1976. That makes me on the cusp. On the cusp of what? Generation X and Generation Y. That’s right. ’76 is the turnover year. The year which decides if you have to learn how computers work, or if you simply just know how they work… The year which decides which you know better; the lyrics to Slippery When Wet
So, because I’m 7 years past due, I’ve finally decided I’m gonna give this twitter thing a go. Mostly because I really want to share my Muchness Pic Of The Day daily on my phone and twitter gave me an easy way to do that. I’m working on trying to make it as easy to upload to this site as it is to upload to twitter, but, well, let’s just say there’s been a lot of cursing and table banging and no super easy uploads..
So, why should you follow me on twitter? Because right now I am following 123 people and only 66 are following me, and apparently, having less followers than followees makes you pretty uncool. Just ask any Gen Y’er. They’ll tell ya. And, well, I kinda don’t wanna be uncool. So Please follow me! 😀
Also- I wear sequins EVERY DAY!!! And awesome muchy shoes!! And I wanna twit-pic them and it would make me happy to know someone, anyone, might see them and it will make them a wee bit happy too! Because sometimes, people see me in the street and compliment my muchy get-ups and that makes me so happy! And sometimes, I get “funny” looks from people and I have to decide if they are thinking “Oh! She looks cool! She probably has a ton of twitter followers!” or if they’re thinking “That girl’s gonna fall on her butt in those 6″ platforms, and really? Sequins on a random tuesday? Who does she think she is, Lady Gaga?”
By and large I always make up my mind to think they’re thinking the first thing because it’s good for my emotional stability, but realistically I know some are thinking the second thing. Because sometimes they think out loud and I can hear them. But no matter. I don’t mind. Because I know that anyone who knows The Muchness would understand that I’m just not wearing unusual clothes, I am simply IN TOUCH WITH THE MUCH!!! However, the only thing missing from this beautiful equation is the twitter followers. I want as many as Lady Gaga.
But it’s not all about me. You too can also get in on the fun! I’ve been hashtagging my posts like this- #MuchnessPicOfTheDay -and trying to remember to hashtag my word #muchness too! That way when #Muchness takes over the universe, (or at least takes over twitter) all those Gen Y’ers will know exactly where to find us!! Join the MUCHNESS Revolution!!!
Hey, anyone know what’s after Gen Y? Out of curiosity…
hmmmm…..
Finding The Muchness That Runs through your blood
Last weekend we went to visit my grandmother. Not Babby Kayla, Lady K. My other grandmother, Madame P. Growing up I always liked rummaging through all of her pretty stuff. And the candy drawer. I knew my grandmother enjoyed collections of little figurines but I never consciously realized how incredibly Muchtastic they actually are! Clearly, this Muchness obsession is in my blood. Like Lady Gaga so prolifically said “I’m on the right track baby, I was born this way!!”
Check this out- my 92 year old grandmother may not be able to wear these Muchtastic shoes, but she hasn’t let that stop her from enjoying them!
Oooooh, shoes!!
Muchy Shoes!
Many Muchy Shoes:
The shoes I almost bought this summer:
The shoes in My grandmother curio cabinet:
And, ahem, do these look familiar?
check it out:
Funny, right?
Stay tuned for my post about her Swarovski Crystal figurine collection!!here’s a peek:
Are you searching for your Muchness? Think about the talents and skills that run through your blood. The talents and skills that others in your family have shown that have always left you feeling proud or ‘jealous’… Maybe there’s something inspired there you’ve been denying out of fear. Go there! Explore it! There’s no time like NOW!!
Happy Monday!

I figured out the problem :)
MUCHNESS is meant to be SHARED!!!! The best part of Finding MY Muchness was seeing how much it affected the people around me! And the best part of seeing how it affected the people around me, was seeing how it affected the people around THEM!!!!
Creating this site was just the beginning. Adding the Challengers was the next step. BUT IT WAS ONLY ONE STEP!!!! Adding the MUCHNESS Bands was an AMAZING way for people to get a little piece of light and Muchness… but still- I need EVERYONE to understand the healing powers of Muchness!!! Wearing sparkle is one piece of it, but EVERYONES MUCHNESS IS DIFFERENT!!!! AND IT NEEDS TO BE SHARED!!!!
OK- stay tuned for International MUCHNESS DAY – November 15th- when ALL WILL BE REVEALED!!! I am working on an so many things for this site! Things that will make it just so. much. MUCHIER!!!!! …AND, there will also be contest and give-aways and picture sharing so START THINKING SPARKLE!!!!
xox, Tova
DOING Muchness
I’ve been writing a lot recently. And reading. And yet I haven’t posted a thing lately. I’ve started about 7 posts but I always end up off on a tangent. The muchness is on my brain constantly. I’m excited to take the holiday challenge and push myself out of my comfort zone. I’ve been worrying about too many things and not living in the moment. When I live in the moment it seems all I want to do in that moment is sit on my ass and watch tv. So, for incentive, I live in the next moment. But the next moment stresses me out. Aaaaaaargh!!!
My today mantra: Do something Tova. Today. Just for the sake of today.
MORE MUCHNESS MADNESS- DISCO STYLE!!!!
Because everyone knows if one is good, 63 is most certainly better.
First Annual International Muchness Day!!!!
November 15!!! Mark your Calendars!!!
Inspiration for a Thursday
I found this image when I was 32 years old. I made it into a magnet that is on my fridge. Funny how you can look at something every day and yet forget it’s there.
I recently had to clean out my old work computer. I went through my photo library this morning and there it was. Just waiting to be looked at again with a fresh perspective and new eyes. I’ll be 35 in 13 days. But I think it still applies.
A Mother’s Love
A Mother’s Love
I didn’t have to look into your eyes
to fall in love with you.
I didn’t need to hear you cry
to know you loved me too.
I didn’t need to hold your hand
to cherish you for always.
Within my womb, we shared our hearts.
You touched my soul.
You sweetened my spirit.
You gave me memories I’ll always hold dear.
Yes. My heart aches since you departed too soon.
But a mother’s love does not end with death.
For you are my child.
Forever my love is yours.

Sunshine & Daisy…. Missing You.
