Hockey Fights Cancer & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #45
Cancer. That dreaded “C” word that we all fear and dread. The disease that has effected every single one of us in some way. A diagnosis that feels like a death sentence and literally changes lives forever. No, I have not been diagnosed with cancer. But too many of my friends and family have. Both of my parents lost their battles with the disease many years ago. Both of them were quite young. Not much older than I am now, in fact. So the topic of cancer is one that is near and dear to my heart because it did change my life forever. My husband and my children never…

When Passion Takes the Wheel & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #43
Did you ever meet a person who is so driven by their passion that it moves you to tears? A person who speaks with so much conviction in their beliefs and exhibits so much intensity in their dedication to their mission that it just inspires you to be more driven in your own individual pursuits? I met a person like this last weekend at NEPA BlogCon in Scranton, Pennsylvania. People like this are rare and when I have the great fortune of being in the presence of someone like this, I feel compelled to share it with the world.

The Other F Word & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #42
You all probably know by now that I attended the Forever Fierce Meet Up at Chico’s in New York City on October 7. You can read all about that event here. So many fabulous women came together that day on the Upper West Side of Manhattan to represent the Midlife Revolution which was founded by the beautiful and brilliant Catherine Grace O’Connell.

Brushstrokes by Melina at the Torrid Halloweenie Costume Party & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #41
My friends at the Torrid Salmon Run Mall had a Halloweenie Costume Party last week to kick off preview day for Haute Cash. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Haute Cash, it is an incentive offered to Torrid shoppers to earn more spending power while shopping. During the earning period, you receive one $25 coupon for every $50 spent. The coupons are good for $25 off every $50 spent at the time of redemption. Torrid Insiders are eligible to use their Haute Cash on preview day which is the day before anyone else can begin using their coupons. So in honor of that, Dawn and her team…

In a post from last week, I mentioned that I attended a meeting with a group of amazing women and two fabulous men. Today, I want to share with you a story about one of those men.

I follow your blog!” Well, if he wanted to make a girl feel special, success has been achieved! I was floored. I was flattered. I was honored. And I was ever so grateful. It’s nearly two weeks later and I am still smiling about…
