Birthday Recap & Link Up On the Edge #198
My birthday was on Saturday and I wanted to share a recap of my special day. Actually I am going to start with a brief recap of the week leading up to my birthday. On the Saturday during Memorial Day weekend, we celebrated a triple birthday (Jeff’s, my neighbor Anna’s, and mine) with a few friends and neighbors, lots of great food, and a fabulous birthday cake. Two days later, on Tuesday, I forgot Jeff’s birthday, and spent the day cooking way more food than necessary to make up for my blunder. Since we could not possibly eat everything that I prepared, we invited the neighbors over for dinner to…

This is 46
Today is my birthday. Forty-six trips around the sun. More lessons than I have time to share. More experiences to enrich my existence. More time to learn about myself. More insight to make me a better version of me. I learned a long time ago that the best way to gain peace and clarity is thorough letting go. Letting go of the things which I cannot control. Having faith in powers which are stronger than me. Trusting the universe and her plan for me. And with each passing year, I feel more evolved, I feel more educated, I feel more relaxed, I feel more fulfilled. I feel more like myself.…

Celebrate With Me
Today is my birthday. I am 45 years old. I feel younger than I did when I was 25. I feel healthier physically and mentally. I feel ready to accept and conquer any challenges that come my way. I feel better equipped to deal with all the ups and downs of life. I feel blessed to be alive and more willing than ever to embrace every single moment that I am given as an opportunity to live this life to the fullest. At 25, I took life for granted. I made plans for the future never realizing that the future doesn’t ever pan out as planned. I wasted too much…

Words of Advice to My Younger Self & A Special Link Up
Y’all I know I love a good celebration! And today I am joining some amazing blogger friends to celebrate Monica’s 31st birthday in true blogger style! Be sure to hop over to Jersey Girl, Texan Heart and see who else has joined this special birthday collaboration. In honor of her birthday, Monica has asked us all to share some words of wisdom with our younger selves. Reflecting back on this post from a few weeks ago, I realized that we all struggle with self-confidence from the moment that we become self-aware and start comparing ourselves to everyone else around us. This is the commencement of a lifelong fight toward self-love.…

What I Actually Wore on My Birthday & Link Up On the Edge #46
On Tuesday (my actual birthday), I shared with you all my special photo shoot showcasing my Checkered Pin Up Midi Dress courtesy of DressLily (you can view that post here). But today, I am going to share what I actually wore on my birthday. I spent most of the day running around and getting ready for our Fashion Show which was last night. We had an amazing time at the Runway on the Square: Frames, Fashion, and Footwear. We featured items from Shelbee on the Edge/Shelbee’s Shoppe, EyeCrave Optics, Strut Boutique, Solitary Consignment, and Avon Shoes. The lovely Melissa of Sarissa Melissa Photography was there capturing all of our best moments…

Celebrating my Birthday with DressLily and #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #23

And I am so blessed to have this wonderful life! So why not celebrate? *This is a sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are completely my own. For my birthday, I did a fun photo shoot in Clayton, New…
