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…

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…

A Girl Walked into Another Bar & Food for Thought this Thanksgiving Day
A girl walked into another bar. A different bar from the last time. This time she walked in alone. Because she was invited there. A few weeks had passed and there was simply silence with regard to the guy she met in the bar on that random Wednesday night. Now on a random Monday night, as she was lying on her couch watching sentimental romance movies, contentedly enjoying the peace and bliss of her own quiet solitude, she received an unexpected text message from an unidentifiable phone number that simply stated, “I’m in town. At the hotel bar.” Without a doubt, she knew who sent the message and her heart…

Wednesday’s Quote of the Week & A Thanksgiving Outfit
Thanksgiving 2017Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the United States, I wanted to share a quote about giving thanks and gratitude. So I typed in a quick Google search (this is, after all, how one finds inspirational quotes these days) for “quotes about gratitude”. There were countless wonderful quotes speaking to this topic, many are quite well known, like this one … “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” —Oprah Winfrey And this one… “I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness – it’s right in front of me if I’m…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #11: The Offense Sells the Tickets, but the Defense Wins the Games
#14 Penn State Nittany Lions 20 – Rutgers Scarlet Knights 7 Welcome to the eleventh episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Yesterday was the first Saturday this season that I had the opportunity to just lounge around and watch the game with my husband. And I enjoyed every moment of the “doing nothing.” Turning it over now to my husband, Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback. The Offense Sells the Tickets, but the Defense Wins the Games With the end of college football season not far away and Penn State currently sitting just outside the rankings of a New Year’s Six bowl game, a showcase performance was needed against lowly Rutgers, along…

Talking to Dead People & Link Up On the Edge #120
On Wednesday night, I was invited to join a group of nine other women to meet at a friend’s house for a little spiritual fun with a local psychic/medium. I had never met with a psychic or a medium before and I found the idea of it to be quite fascinating. Ever since my parents passed away, 24 and 12 years ago, their spirits have always been a very strong presence in my life, so the idea of a person who quite literally talks to dead people intrigued me. So I agreed to join the party. Being the novice that I am on matters of channeling the spiritual world, I…
