Easter and Hats, Go Hand In Hand...

I can wear a hat or take it off,

but either way it's a conversation piece.

Hedda Hopper

Cock your hat - angles are attitudes.

Frank Sinatra

I have a hat. It is graceful and feminine and give me a certain dignity, as if I were attending a state funeral or something. Someday I may get up enough courage to wear it, instead of carrying it.

Erma Bombeck

A woman's place in public is to sit beside her husband, be silent, and be sure her hat is on straight.

Bess Truman

Wow, what do you link of that?

Do you have the courage to wear hats and/or

speak in public next to your husband

while wearing a hat?

He can still wear the pants. Ha... ha...

Thank goodness times have changed.

Fashion Bloggers & Social Media: The Perfect Match

Fashion Bloggers & Social Media: The Perfect Match

Edited by Joanne Faith

Fashion bloggers are natural social media experts. Beyond our blogs, you’ll find us on Facebook and Twitter, some are on YouTube, as well as a plethora of other connected communities (IFB!). I am confident enough in our abilities to say that we know how to use social media (effectively) better than most, and I probably don’t need to tell you what a wonderful skill that is to have right now! Naturally, a few of things weeks links related to issues around social media and I expect the topic to crop up only more often in the future.

I am excited to be apart of the first round of editors for Links A La Mode: Tech, and absolutely thrilled to encourage the sharing of these skills amongst other fashion bloggers. We are definitely not a brainless bunch, and features like Links A La Mode: Tech only prove that even further!

Your life can be abundant with or without material wealth

Words of wisdom from "Guerrilla Marketing Goes Green" by Jay Conrad Levinson and Shel Horowitz:

"Your live can be abundant and full of blessings, with or without material wealth.

Abundance is fundamentally different from prosperity. Prosperity still works on the idea the you have to conquer others, that you have to strive for more money, and that pie is infinite and that helping others is one way to help yourself- the more you help, the more the whole pie expands.

It also says that you have to act and believe in the whole process. If you think and act from a scarcity model , you will find scarcity. If the energy you put into the universe comes from the mindset that you can easily get what you need and more, that's what you're likely to find."

I know you may have read this before, but I really wanted to share with you.

Does this ring true for you? Has helping others and coming from a place of abundance made an impact on the outcome of your life? If so, please share.

Thanks for stopping by, dear friend.
