Hello Friends and Happy Thankful Thursday
I am writing this post Saturday night a few days before hubby’s surgery, and deep in my heart I know that he will do well and all the cancer will be removed. #InJesusName and for that I will forever be THANKFUL.
(UPDATE – CANCEROUS TUMOR WAS REMOVED WEDNESDAY MORNING AND THERE IS NO SIGN THAT IT SPREAD!!!!!)
I am also thankful for being chosen as a Featured OWNer for the Oprah Winfrey Network, you can read the entire feature here and I would appreciate a comment as well.
I love most of the shows on the OWN Network and The Haves and Have Not is currently my favorite, I even wrote a post about it when it first debuted, remember this (click here).
This week as always, I am thankful for my family, friends and faith. I am also truly thankful for all of you and for your well wishes and prayers! Being a blogger with followers and friends such as yourselves is truly something to be thankful for.
Now it’s your turn, what are you thankful for this week?

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay
This has been a week of highs and lows and I am not even going to talk about the zany weather. Life is so very fragile, I am asking each of you to tightly hug and tell someone that you love them tonight before the clock strikes midnight! I also want to say, “thank you” for being part of my life, I will probably need to borrow some of your strength as time goes on…but we’ll talk about that later, in the meantime. please say an extra prayer for the “Blake Family”.
Can you believe that this is the 10th Weekend Wind-Down Party? It has been so much fun, reading, sharing and laughing at all the wonderful posts each week.
BTW – this is the last weekend to enter to win the $50 Gift Certificate to Midnight Velvet!

Hello Friends, I hope you are having a Thankful Tuesday.
First and foremost I would like to offer up prayers and condolences to those affected by yesterday’s bombing at the Boston Marathon. Last night at the dinner table I once again emphasized the importance of being thankful, staying positive and living each day as if it were your last because tomorrow is not promised to any of us. The senseless waste of time on negativity and hatred is time that any of us can ill afford – Stay Blessed my Bloggy friends!
Not just today but every day, we have so much to be thankful for starting with the glorious gifts from Mother Nature. As much as I dread getting out of bed in the morning, once I’m up and out I feel truly thankful and blessed, how can I not be?
Top and Shoes – GW Boutique – Skirt – Closet Staple

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday, it’s another dark, damp and dreary day but my prayers were answered so for that I am thankful!
Driving into work this morning I was thinking about a financial situation and became a little depressed. When I got to my desk instead of reading today’s passage from “Our Daily Bread“, I read the scriptures on page 64, of “Gods Promises for every day“, What to do when you feel Worried“. In less than 5 minutes my phone rang with an answer to my prayers,
Tuesday’s Testimony – God is Good!
Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you – 1 Peter 5:7
Jesus said, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and Trust in me.” John 14:1
Today’s outfit is a Tribal Throwback, hubby had these matching vests made during our first year of marriage in 1991, you know that newlywed stage when it was cute to dress alike! #2 son wanted his father’s vest, but he said, “no, wait until I retire and then you can have all my clothes”, so I gave him mine.
This morning I shopped my son’s closet for my vest.

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
I hope your day is going well and that plans for the weekend are in full gear – enjoy! My mother-in-law is doing well and I thank you for all your prayers. Tonight the boys and I will be visiting taking a small table-top Christmas Tree to brighten up the room and raise her spirits. All week I have been psyching myself up to start decorating and have decided that tomorrow is the day, oh Lord. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like decorating for the holidays, it just getting motivated to start because I HAVE TOO DAMN MUCH. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen pics of just a few bins of Christmas decorations that are in my basement’s crawlspace. When my sons were younger, they were all gung-ho and couldn’t wait to help – now it’s like pulling teeth and hubby is a Muslim so he only helps to put the boxes away, the majority of the work falls on me. The older I get the more I understand why people paid others to decorate their homes, remember this episode from “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air”?
It’s not as cold as I expected but there’s a cold rain falling so I bundled up with a scarf for casual Friday.

Hello friends and Happy Monday…Tuesday sorry – yesterday’s post was dedicated to my mother-in-law so I didn’t feature an outfit of the day. Before I begin I want to thank everyone for their comments as well as prayers because I do believe in the power of it! Yesterday she had a good day and although her body is weak and frail her mind is sharp and active – so keep on praying.
Monday’s outfit was a combo of black and white but I need to use splashes of color, I’ll be looking for some colorful scarves at Goodwill or maybe Plato’s Closet . I have never gone to a Plato’s Closet although there is one in Exton just a few miles from my job, and there is also one about a mile from The Hospice on Limestone Road, I’ll check one of them.
Scarf and Cowl neck top – closet staples // Houndstooth skirt – Goodwill // Black Studded Pumps – Goodwill
I wore a bunch of silver bangles, a pair of silver earrings and silver ring with a red stone, the only splash of color – lol
Again, thank you so much for praying – have a wonderful evening – Smooches!
