The Fab 40’s Take On the End of the World
I have this song stuck in my head… Released 31 years ago and it is still relevant. Although I suppose any apocalyptic prognostication is always befitting as we live in a world that tends to feed off of ominous predictions of a doomsday coming. However, I never was one to contemplate the end of the world coming in some grand disastrous event. After all, if and when it happens, there really is not much any of us will be able to do to counteract the result. And it seems that it has been a long time coming anyway. Just like life itself, from the moment we are born, we immediately…

The Holiday Series 2018-Happy New Year & Link Up On the Edge #126
As I sit drafting this post on Christmas Day, I am feeling like a much overdue blogging break is needed here on the edge. With that I am going to share my second to last outfit of 2018, the final post in Ada’s Holiday Series (featuring our New Year’s Eve looks), the final link up of the year, and my final thoughts until I return back to my regular blogging schedule some time next week. I will be posting on December 31 with The Fab 40’s and it’s a really fun theme this month, so be sure to check that one out. Then I will begin my short blogging hiatus.…

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…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #16: Record Setting Day for Army
Welcome to the sixteenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback with a recap of yesterday’s Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl where Army faced off against Houston. Record Setting Day for Army Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl #22 Army Black Knights 70 – Houston Cougars 14 In a game that Army was supposed to be the underdog, they were anything but during this record setting day at the Armed Forces Bowl. Coming into the game at 10-2, Army was looking for its first ever 11 win season since the Service Academy started playing football in 1890. The senior class for…

Casual Holiday Outfit with Foxcroft & Link Up On the Edge #125
Back in October, I had won a giveaway hosted by one of my favorite style icons, Dawn Lucy of Fashion Should Be Fun, and the prize was a $250 shopping spree from Foxcroft. I quickly added 5 gorgeous pieces to my shopping list and received them early in November. I featured two pieces in a Sunday Morning Quarterback post but have been saving the other 3 pieces for some festive holiday styling. As much as I love velvet, I actually have not worn much of it this season. I fell in love with the cabernet color of the Elena Luxe Velvet Tunic and the cute pleats on the back. The velvet…

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…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #15: It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Welcome to the fifteenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback with a recap of yesterday’s games. It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year The greatest time of year is upon us. No, I do not mean Christmas. I’m talking about college football bowl season! Although if you really think about it, it is like having a three week Christmas celebration, 40 games in 23 days with the National Championship to close it out. It really is the most wonderful time of the year! Autonation Cure Bowl Tulane Green Wave 41 – Louisiana-Lafayette Rajun Cajuns 24 This game featured…

It’s the Little Things with EvaTrends & Link Up On the Edge #124
“Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset, the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall. It’s the little things that make happy moments, not the grand events. Joy comes in sips, not gulps.” -Sharon Draper “Joy comes in sips, not gulps.” My word, isn’t that the truth? In the past few weeks, I have been sipping away like a delighted young child who has not yet been scarred by the harshness of living. I have been enjoying each and every moment of abundant bliss and have been allowing myself to indulge in all the “little things that make happy moments”. And like I child, I really do get ridiculously excited over…

Little Red Dress & Your Own Twist Link Up #3
Today we have another guest blogger! Ewa from 60 Plus Experience is joining us with the red dress theme, with a little bit of a twist. Why not wear a long red vest instead of a red dress if you don’t have a red dress? When Monica presented red dresses as the theme for this month’s Your Own Twist Link Up, my brain immediately went to holiday inspired fancy red dresses like this lacy number I wore last year for New Year’s Eve or something sexy and sassy like this little red dress I wore for my professional photo shoot two summers back. I didn’t really want to repeat…
