“I would encourage you: be informed – knowledge is power.” Matt Bevin I am sure you are all aware that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But we need to be alert and on top of preventative measures all year long. Just as cancer doesn’t decide to strike only in October, we need to be scheduling our annual mammograms all throughout the year. However, I always get my mammograms in October because it is the easiest for me to remember. You know, at this stage of life, the memory is the first thing to go!

5 More Life Lessons & Link Up On the Edge #20
In my last post When a Talker Runs Out of Things to Say, I mentioned that I currently am suffering from writer’s block. Unfortunately, it is quite the persistent bout with the block. So here are 5 more life lessons that I have learned along the way (numbers 6 through 10 from my original post), another fall outfit, and a link up. 1.

Seeking Advice: Unsolicited Collaboration Requests?
This is a totally selfish post on my part…I am just trying to reach a larger audience with a blogging issue which is troubling me. But to present the appearance of being not so selfish, I have included pictures of a really cute outfit that I have worn recently (insert winky, snarky, sarcastic emoji face…is there one of those?) Recently, I have been receiving unsolicited email requests from companies requesting collaborations and/or guest posts on my blog. The first one I received included a request for me to publish a guest post. I had no idea what this even entailed, so I reached out to a few blogger friends via…
