Aligning My Chakras & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #104
I needed some focus. I needed to let go of toxicity. I needed fulfillment. I needed to reignite my passion. I needed some spiritual healing. I needed a universal realignment. And I needed to take action to get it done. And so my adventures in the healing arts has begun. A new year. A new attitude. A new approach. A new willingness to try new things in the interest of self-examination and self-improvement. A new way to become centered and reconnected with the Life Source that drives us forward, onward, and upward. That universal energy. It only responds when we connect to it. And it is our responsibility to open ourselves…

So Many Blessings & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #103
While I am grateful every day for the blessings in my life, the holidays tend to bring on an overload of emotions. Lately, I have been feeling overwhelmed by love coming at me from so many directions. This type of abundant love used to make me question if I deserved it all, but I have reached a point in my life when I can accept it with gratitude and acknowledgement that I do deserve all the blessings in my life. I know that I am not unique in my journey that has included many struggles and pain and heartache and loss. I know that I am not unique in my…

Spiritual Healing & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #102
Three weeks ago, I introduced you to my new friend Leti and her Good Life Healing Arts & Gift Shop in my post, The Good Life & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #99. I shared some photos of the leather jewelry that is handcrafted by Leti and promised to show you my new earrings that were given to me as a gift by my friend, Denise, who owns Solitary Consignment where I work. Denise chose the olive green feather earrings for me and I absolutely love them! I was so excited to build an entire outfit right around my new earrings. Have you ever built an entire outfit around one accessory? I do…

Shaklee 7 Day Healthy Cleanse & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #101
On Saturday, I completed the Shaklee 7 Day Healthy Cleanse which guarantees that you will feel better in one week. From my experience, I think they have most definitely satisfied their guarantee. A few of the benefits that you can expect from this cleanse include improved focus and energy, enhanced mood and sleep quality, detox and healthy digestion, a jump start for weight loss and reduction in food cravings. I have never done a cleanse of any sort so this was a brand new experience for me and I really did not know what to expect. The diet for the week consisted of all fruits and vegetables, mostly raw, some…

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…

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…

Guest Post: There’s a Nun in My Head & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #95
Note from Shelbee: This is the third guest post by my friend and avid blog reader, Susan Marinelli. Susan has taken a more introspective approach in this piece, but her wit and humor are still evident as she works her way through processing experiences from her formative years, explaining how they continue to impact her as an adult. I am pretty sure we can all relate to something similar. And once again, I am ever so grateful to Susan for assisting me by providing thought-provoking content for my blog. As if life were not crazy enough for me, certain events have occurred in the past two days that require my immediate…

Note from Shelbee: If you read last Tuesday’s post, What to Wear to a Nude Beach, then you are already familiar with today’s guest blogger, my friend and avid blog reader, Susan Marinelli. Susan is at it again with her wit and humor taking on today’s fashions in the world of high school kids. I cannot thank Susan enough for helping me out with some blog content while I am floundering through the crazy, mirky waters of what my life is right now! It’s all about being kind and helping others simply because we can! Keep spreading your kindness, my friends! Hi, I am Susan Marinelli. I am an aged…

Guest Post: What to Wear to a Nude Beach & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #93
Note from Shelbee: This post was written and contributed by my friend and avid blog reader, Susan Marinelli. Susan has very graciously offered to write some posts for me while I am still trying to figure out how to manage 3 part time jobs, 2 kids and a husband, and 1 blog. Plus, she has been considering starting her own blog (which I absolutely think she should) and wanted a little experience at writing in blog post form. I find Susan’s writing style an absolute joy to read and her sense of humor far surpasses any other human being I have ever met. She is hilariously witty and as left…

What to Wear Mushroom Picking & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #92
I cannot thank you all enough for all of the wonderful words of encouragement on Friday’s post about losing my mojo. I felt so much kindness from all of you as I make my way through this transition in my life. And I took much of what was shared to heart…I took the weekend off from blogging and will be slowly easing back into it this week. I am planning my Link Up On the Edge post for Thursday and I will have a special birthday link up on Friday to celebrate Monica’s birthday! And then I might be making some minor changes…but that remains to be seen. In the…
