Let Light Shine & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #100
I cannot believe that my #SpreadTheKindness Link Up as reached 100 weeks of sharing light and spreading kindness. So many wonderful posts that have been linked here. In the two years of its existence, nearly 8,000 posts have joined these link parties. Eight thousand creative, inspiring, brilliantly drafted blog posts on all sorts of fun and interesting topics. To all who have joined, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. This link up began in response to a horrible backlash I received over two years ago when I shared My Response to the Presidential Election. I don’t do politics. I don’t discuss them. I don’t usually…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #13: Championship Weekend Recap
Welcome to the thirteenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback. Championship Weekend Recap and Selection Sunday With my Nittany Lions sitting out this Championship Weekend, I’ve decided this edition of the Sunday Morning Quarterback will cover all of the games played yesterday. Today at noon also marks Selection Sunday for the final season rankings and bowl game selections. As much as I’d love to see Penn State head to a New Years Six game, I’m thinking the Citrus Bowl (a.k.a the best of the rest) will be our most likely destination. MAC Championship Game Northern Illinois 30 – Buffalo…

Snow Leopard with EvaTrends & Link Up On the Edge #122
Leopard print is one of those patterns that has become a staple and a requirement in every fashionista’s closet. Over the past few years I have really grown to love this particular animal print above all other animal prints. Although I am very fond of cow prints as well, but that is much more difficult to acquire on clothing and shoes. I suppose no woman really wants to be draped in a print that could possibly elicit comments such as you look like a cow. But I do very much crave a pair of fuzzy cow print boots for some reason. So if anyone ever spots such a thing, please…

Wednesday’s Quote of the Week: The Good Life
Yesterday, I wrote a post about Good Life Healing Arts & Gift Shop, and while I was searching for quotes to share in conjunction with that post, I found an abundance of wise words about living the good life. So it seemed an appropriate theme for today’s Quote of the Week post. All about living the good life. “Life is good when we think it’s good. Life is bad when we don’t think.” -Douglas Horton And isn’t that exactly how we attain the good life? It is a good life when we think it’s good. And when we choose not to think at all, when we choose not to count…

The Good Life & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #99
I have read a lot of articles in the past 5 years or so that have addressed the issue of how difficult it becomes to make new friends the older we get. I have watched my 5 year old meet a new kid on the playground and when they discover one tiny thing they have in common, they instantly become best friends. And I have made comments like “Wouldn’t that be nice if it were that easy for adults?” Well, you know what I am discovering lately? It actually is that easy. For real. I have made a lot of new friends recently, right here in the middle of my…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #12: Chaos Reigns During Rivalry Week
#12 Penn State Nittany Lions 38 – Maryland Terrapins 3 Welcome to the twelfth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! I finally invested in some new fan gear with this cute Penn State fleece that I found in my local Target in Northern New York, which is a really weird place to find Penn State fan gear. But I sure am happy to have it. It is super comfortable and very warm for this snow covered place. Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback. Rivalry week is the final week of the reguar season of college football. This week traditionally pits long time rivals against each…

Stay Hydrated with Copper H2O & Link Up On the Edge #121
A few weeks ago, I was introduced to the benefits of drinking water from a copper bottle by an amazing company, Copper H2O. The theory of “tamra jal”, which is based in Ayurvedic medicine, states that infusing the positive health properties of copper into our drinking water will balance the three doshas in your body (vata, kapha, and pitta). Eastern societies have been storing their drinking water in copper vessels for centuries because the copper will naturally alkalinize the water stored within it. Consuming natural alkaline water will help balance the pH of our bodies which leads to many different health benefits. After having a wonderful and very informative telephone…
