These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...Six Favorites, Actually

I want to share some of my favorite things. These are not paid endorsements. I have NO advertisers. I know a lot of these blogs bombard you with products or services because they get paid. Well, I assure you...this is not the case here. 

I just feel like when someone is doing something right, you need to give them credit. I'm going to do that and maybe you will find something you enjoy in the process. 

1. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick #420 Blushed...Oh my gosh, you guys! I think I have found THE perfect lipstick (for me), FINALLY! I absolutely love this color. It has just enough pink, brown, and peachy tones to go with everything. ♥

2. Alabama Shakespeare Festival (Montgomery, AL)...This is a wonderful place. We are heading there very soon! The next play we are scheduled to see is Sherlock Holmes. We've seen 6 or 7 plays/shows, I believe. Everyone has been excellent. It is a great place to go for date night. We dress up (a little), have a nice dinner, and then head to the theater. They have every genre you can imagine. Don't let the name fool you into thinking they are all Shakespeare's works...they are not. In fact, we haven't seen on play that was written by Shakespeare. ♥

3. Netflix & Amazon Prime...We could almost make it without cable TV (if not for football season) because of these two. We watch more Netflix & Amazon Prime than anything else. Some of our favorites available streaming...The Killing, Whitechapel, John Adams, Downton Abbey, Longmire, Broadchurch, Blue Bloods, and Burn Notice...just to name a few. ♥

4. Wreaths/Flower Arrangements...In case you haven't noticed I have an Etsy store and I put a link to it at the bottom of every blog post. As a small business owner (yes, as an Etsy store owner I am a business owner - no matter how large or small), you need to get exposure every chance you get. Though my post have nothing to do with my shop 99% of the time, I still put the link on there just on the off chance that someone may want to check it out. I absolutely love making the products for my shop and I love being creative. If you go to my shop you will see...I refer to it as my happy place. ♥

5. Lazy Days...I don't get to take a lazy day as often as I would like, but when I do - I love it! I love to spend an afternoon watching old movies and just hanging out at home.  ♥

6. Classic Movies...Yes, I'm going to recommend some old movie for you as well: Most any Alfred Hitchcock (e.g. Rear Window, Dial 'M' for Murder, Strangers on a Train, Psycho, etc.), Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte, The Maltese Falcon...just to name a few. As you can see, I LOVE suspense movies! Add that to the list!!! ♥ 

I guess I will just stop right there. I could get sappy and mention things like my hubby & family, but that's not what this post is about today. I hope you will find something new to enjoy!

Some Days Drama Finds You

Some days there is drama. You don't have to look for it, it finds you. Sometimes, you try to do what you think is the right thing, only to find out you have upset someone without meaning to do so.  How do you handle these situations? There are times when you want to run away and NOT deal with it. That's not very practical in most cases, though. Pretending like an uncomfortable situation does not exist does not make it go away. You have to deal with it.  What are some ways to deal with conflict? Prayer - always and in every situation! Listen to the other person Make sure you are communicating properly - miscommunication is usually a big cause for issues Try to see the other person's side of the situation - there are always two sides and yours is not always right Recognize mistakes your have made and try to rectify them Don't get emotional! Keep your cool... Stick to the actual issue - Don't bring up past issues that have nothing to do with it.  Sometim...

Being Kind May Improve Your Day

Kindness. It can make a big difference in your experiences in life. If someone shows you kindness, it may make a bad situation better or a good situation even better. Besides, it is just a good thing - ALWAYS. I told you a few posts back about the stranger that made our day better. Because he had a kind heart and was willing to help, we weren't stranded at the Home Depot for very long at all. It very easily could have been all day. That kindness made a bad situation better...definitely! Kay, at the post office where I ship the packages for my Etsy store, goes out of her way to try to help me. I, therefore, go out of my way a lot of days to go to HER post office. I make sure I fill out the survey and give her an excellent rating (she says it helps her - I asked). I try to return her kindness in some way that will really help her. Speaking of packages...I try to be extra kind to the delivery people that come to my work. They have a hard job. I strike up mini conversations with...

Answers to Prayers

You know, sometimes in life it is easy to get discouraged. It's easy to let burdens weigh you down. You feel like God is not listening when you pray. I'm here to tell you that our God is still on His throne and He is still answering prayers if you have a relationship with Him. I heard from someone this morning that testified to that fact. Prayer works!  This started me thinking about the different types of answers we get from God through prayer. There may be others or more ways to describe these, but here is a quick overview anyway. QUICK RESPONSE or YES (a.k.a, Everyone's Favorite) You pray and it's not long before you have confirmation or feel like you hear from God concerning your petition.  THE WAIT (Ugh!) Sometimes you have to wait for answers. It's not fun, but just remember that God's timing is best. There is a reason for the wait. It may have something to do with you or someone else involved (i.e. you have something to learn, waiting f...
