Wednesday’s Quote of the Week & 5 Top Trends for an Unforgettable Wedding in 2019
Shelbee’s Note: No matter how old I get, there always seems to be somebody getting married. I used to think that once all my friends were married in our 20’s and 30’s that I would never be invited to a wedding again. But as the generations of family members and children of friends grow older, I find myself still being invited to these momentous occasions where two lovers unite in holy matrimony. And who doesn’t love a wedding, getting dressed up, having a party, celebrating love? If any of you readers are in the planning stages for your own wedding or that of a loved one, check out these 5…

Wednesday’s Quote of the Week: About Life & Change
Oh, this crazy life. And the universe and all of its wild plans. So often, we can feel like we’ve lost control, like we have no say in our destiny, like the plans have already been made without our consent. And sometimes that may be true. But then on other occasions, we realize that we actually do have some control over our lives. We have the power to make changes whenever we feel that change is needed. I have a dear friend who always says that when we find something in our lives that we do not like, we have three choices. We can accept it, we can change it,…

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…

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…

Wednesday’s Quote of the Week & An Outfit
I know I only shared two Word of the Week posts so far, but I have to admit, I am not a fan. I don’t like it. It was supposed to be an easy post to write but then I found myself getting all stressed trying to come up with a great word for the day. So silly…getting stressed about such a benign thing. So I am bailing on the Word of the Week posts in favor of a Quote of the Week instead. I do love a good quote! And while I do enjoy the etymology of words, stringing a bunch of words together to create magic is way…

Wednesday’s Word of the Week #1: Linguaphile
I am trying out a new weekly series on my blog…a word of the week. As a writer, I have always been obsessed with language and words. It always felt so magical to me the way beauty can be created by stringing together words in unique and interesting combinations to form different images in the mind’s eye. I also am intrigued by how words have come into existence and use in the English language (I specify English because I am not multilingual in any way). Recently, I ran this idea by my good friend, Susan Marinelli, another wordsmith who shares my obsession with words and language (you can read her…
