I haven’t done a Pinterst Inspiration Look in Awhile, 

Today presented an opportunity when a Facebook Group 

decided to do this for today and I happened to have pinned this one and love it!

Of course I have the pieces to do this verbatim, but a funny thing about me 

is that I definitely like to beat my own drum and create my own path.  

I bought this Joan Rivers Leopard Jacket as my reaction to her passing. 

It’s on clearance still, but only available in xxs and xs, I actually wear an xs in this line of jackets. 

I am wearing my mothers pin as a necklace and a locket that was my grandmothers,

which holds pictures of her mother and brother (my great grandmother and great uncle)  

I noticed that I didn’t have my full smile in any of the photos, I attribute that to the cold temperatures ,

as it was near freezing today and that is cold for my area.  

Tonight promises to be even colder with temperatures in the teens and highs near 20 tomorrow!  

That rarely happens in my area! 

If you look closely at this photo you can see the nice button element in my turtleneck sweater.

I am not big on turtlenecks , but picked this one up one day in early Fall when grocery shopping at Bj’s. 

I thought with turtlenecks trending that it would work well to wear with ponchos.  

Dear Readers, What do you think ?

have you tried a look with burgundy, black and leopard yet? 

If not, I highly recommend it!  

Self Care

Today for self care I began adding MCT oil into my morning smoothie again, as I haven’t done so in awhile. 

If you haven’t heard of this or are interested in why I chose to add this to my morning smoothies, 

 Here is a great article that explains it all in great detail! 

Gratitude

I am grateful for a wonderful month off and family time together, but also happy to get back to homeschooling. 

I am grateful that my son took it to heart when I began a writing program today, as his normal behavior is to stall and not do it at all. 

I am grateful for a sense of humor in that young man , who didn’t use the writing prompt I suggested , but looked down the list and found one about writing something that bothered you and used it to write about me!  I loved it and will take anything I can get to start fixing this writing issue created by his years in school.  

I am grateful for my dearest friend and our texts today, we haven’t seen it other much lately and she actually called herself a lousy friend.  I reminded her that our bond is secure and that there is no lousy freind in sight as she has been very busy with drama classes and plays for her daughter as well as moving!  Hopefully with football season ending we can begin Sunday Lunches!
