Weekly Plank Challenge
📌Week 1️⃣7️⃣, 12 Minutes📌
Last week’s video made it to my @oftv channel, but in the shuffle of life and with a few days of disconnection (between myself and my phone) it hadn’t made it here yet 🤷🏼♀️
Hopefully late is better than never 🤔
I think my core and arms are going to be stronger in 2024 if I keep this up! 🙌🏻 A little more strength is something we could all probably use a little more of 💜

I hope I get to read some good books this year … it’s been a while since I made time for some good stories outside of here. Although some of the best ones I’ve ever read have been delivered right to my DMs. 😉😘🥰 I could spend a day curled on the couch with you or we could skip the reading and make our own story, but either way I always want happy endings. 💜
Today I swung through a drive thru to grab some breakfast on my way to work. It might not have been the healthiest option, but it was quick and easy. The woman behind the window was already at work while I was merely on my way. She smiled at me as she exchanged my money for the food I had ordered as she wished me a wonderful day. Before I pulled away I told her how beautiful her smile was and watched it grow wider across her face as her eyes squinted a little with joy. Her smile made mine larger too as I drove away to turn onto the highway. The truck turning in beside me was suddenly close to my door. As my eyes moved almost involuntary to the driver close by, my smile was still plastered across my face, and now his face responded with another large smile too…It’s hard not to smile when others are smiling too. Have you smiled at someone today?
Did you know smiling can lower cortisol levels, slow your heart rate, boost the immune system, and prolong your life? Since smiling back at another person can be a reflex of your body, wearing one in public you are freely helping improve the health of others. Studies have proven that animals understand smiles too.
💜😁💜
With the new year comes new goals, new ideas, and a chance to start a new resolution. While fitness resolutions seem to be a gold standard for myself and others, I’ve decided that equally as important for my existence and the improved existence of others, I’d like to commit to a non-fitness related resolution this year too….
A few days ago at the grocery store I stepped up in the check out line after a long, but fun day of horseback riding and farm work. I wasn’t wearing anything special just a pair of riding pants, boots, and a riding shirt with a light jacket, lost in my thoughts as I loaded the conveyer belt. I had my hair in a typical ponytail with a hat pulled over it to cover the tangled mess construed by my helmet. I looked up at the clerk whose eyes suddenly found mine and instantly shined with a surprised gleam as she excitedly and enthusiastically voiced how she thought I was beautiful. Feeling a bit derailed by the unexpected compliment despite my soiled barn clothes and messy hat covered hair, I beamed back at her. My southern manners intact yielded a thank you as I fumbled with my words. Further attempting to repay the welcomed feelings of joy she had produced came an automatic smile while I felt a reflexive boost in my mood.
Over the following days to come I found myself once or twice grinning in the mirror with the thoughts of her words bouncing inside my head. I even teasingly shared the scenario with friends at dinner, proudly reveling in how I had received a random compliment at the grocery store from a stranger in my barn clothes. Her words gave me repeated surges of positive feelings of worth, which may not have even been because she told me I was beautiful, but her kind tone and chosen words made me feel seen that day. This 5 second event inside a grocery store has had me thinking about how I would like to be bold and humble enough to share words of love and kindness to random strangers when I am out and about. I often think them, but just as frequently I keep them to myself and I don’t bother to send them out to the deserving recipient before me. And why not? Especially after taking time to reflect on how large an impact such a little deed can make. Her words have provided multiple moments of good for me and even influenced my thoughts for how I can do similarly for others. A perfect example of how kindness can spread.
So for my (non-fitness) New Year’s resolution I would like to be more vocal with my kind thoughts. Uninhibited in sharing words of encouragement; to take time to help others have a moment like mine that causes more moments to follow of feeling seen and admired. Reflectively I should also like to be more reserved and guarded in how I discuss matters that could be hurtful or misconstrued. Life is hard enough with the hate that will always be, but I can make this conscious effort to spread love and kindness as is fitting, and so I will.
Let’s be beautiful inside and out … we can all learn to contour our face and polish our looks, but let’s not forget in 2024 that the words we speak should be beautiful too.
💜 Shelly
Taking a little time to reflect on the eve of the New Year… in my own little corner, in my own little chair 💜 🎶
I have more on resolutions to share later, but for now I wanted to wish you all a safe night and a Happy New Year! 🎉
🎉Weekly Plank Challenge: Week 16, 11.5 Minutes🎉
I was trying to hold out on posting this until it became live on my @oftv channel, but I think the holidays have things running a little slow. Since it’s the end of the week and already Friday I didn’t want to wait any longer …so here is week 16 of the plank challenge!
Some stubborn determination seems to be helping me along. 😝 Excited that the weeks are still rolling and maybe the new year will provide a motivational date to recruit some new plank challenge supporters! For more details on how this started be sure to go back and watch the week 1 video!
Thank you guys for helping me become stronger and for keeping me accountable. 💪🏻💪🏻 Life is tough, but a little extra strength, a challenge to work for, and supporters on the sidelines always seems to help. 💜
I have been working on some adjunct training to help with my climbing, riding, running, and planking fitness. Don’t mind me if I’m walking a little funny tomorrow. 😆 Sometimes it’s nice to step outside of a normal routine to build strength and muscle in new ways and settings. Hoping to see some gains with a little cross training in 2024. 🙌🏻
There’s something about the soft muzzle, warm breath, and tickling whiskers of a horse muzzle that makes time stand still for me, my worries fade, and tensions of life smooth into soft waves of joy.
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and that y’all are enjoying whatever gifts your life has provided you. 🎄😘
Since this Christmas Eve in the south has been so beautiful and warm, O volunteered to go ahead and eat the carrot we had saved just in case some fluke of nature had brought us a white Christmas to build a snowman. No snow here, but I bet we could build one out of mud. 😆 Gotta love Christmas in the dirty south! ❤️🎄💚
Only 3 more days until Christmas?!!
I should have been spending my first day off of work for the holidays doing my last minute shopping, but a much needed day at home with my besties won out 💚🐎❤️
🎅🏻🎄Weekly Plank Challenge: Week 15, 11 Min. 🎄🎅🏻
We might only be 4 days away from Christmas, but for those who really dig into a good challenge you know that the most dedicated participants don’t allow holidays to completely disrupt the process.
Week 15 of the plank challenge called for 11 minutes of planking time. It was kind of fun to plank in front of the fireplace until I realized planking for that long on a hard surface, with only a thin yoga mat, was not ideal for my elbows. 😮💨
Next week I’ll be sure to head back to the gym for thicker padding…. Wait, did I just give away the surprise that the challenge continues?! 💪🏻 😆🤭
You can watch now to see for yourself (be sure to check out my @oftv channel!). It was tough and not very pretty, but pretty is as pretty does in some cases.

Only 5 more days until Christmas!!
I am doing my best to stay on the good list 😏and I finished my bedroom tree just in time to enjoy it for a few days.💚🎄❤️
If you’re in need of a Shelly (the Christmas Elf) decorating fix, then this unlock is all for you. 🧑🏻🎄🧝🏼♀️
The video is a bit long, but you can relax and enjoy the “elfisode” if it jingles your bells, or the pics are kind of festive and fun too. (No full nudity - green and black elf lingerie filled with southern Shelly charm - with those angles that were missing in the last post). 😘
Today is the eve of Winter. The glorious sunrise this morning with my sparkling fields of frost and the vibrantly illuminated sky is foreshadowing the months of cold ahead, but it sent a vivid picture today reminding us that the harsh weather also carries a beauty all her own. Have you taken time to notice how the sky appears clearer and brighter the colder it is? …the colors are more radiant and the frost shields the landscape as if to mute any surrounding distractions, silently coaxing our eyes to shift upwards to nature’s etherealism.
Winter always arrives with unique challenges and discomforts for me and life on my farm, but it also brings low humidity, which makes for crystal clear skies that glow along the horizon. The shining frost of tiny ice crystals sparkling below the warm sky send my soul a spark of fuel as if providing me with an intangible, celestial message that amongst the discomforts of seasons are glimpses of unseen, ever changing, but unique and irreplicable sources of earthly awe.
Some days I get up feeling a little anxious about all of the things I have to do … farm chores, laundry, dishes, a little sweeping up some hay and shavings off the floor, shower and dress, rush to try to get to work on time, plan for evening shopping and decorating, maybe squeeze in some time for a workout, climb, or ride, find something to eat a few times mixed in there, repeat chores, shower for the night, then take a few photos and try to message as many of my fans as I can before my bed lulls me to sleep, preparing me for the morning when I hit repeat.
Sometimes I have found when life feels rushed with a lot to do, it helps me to take a few minutes to turn off all the noise, focus on breathing slowly and deeply, and to close my eyes absorbing the quiet darkness. Within a few minutes re-opening your eyes to a world of color appears fresh and exciting.
My days are full of all things that I want to do, but getting to them all is the trick when attention and time feel like they are being pulled in every direction. Find a spot and be still for a few minutes, pet your dog or groom your horse, and for me things start to feel a little more doable and wonderful again. Now I am ready to keep on running and glad I get to do it with you all. 😘
Santa 🎅🏻 is sending this little elf to town now to pick up a few more things, but he told me I couldn’t leave the house like this or I’d be getting naughty looks. 🤭 I thought I was doing a good job staying out of trouble, but he told me I looked like I was ready to find some … 😏🎄
Only 7 days left until Christmas ….
Pics are all front and side shots of elf-inspired lingerie … looks like next time I’ll have to be sure get a back view 🤭
Santa called and he said if I don’t get to finishing my decorations that he’s putting me on the naughty list of elves … I told him to calm down and not to worry because I still have 7 days left until Christmas.🎄 I’m getting ready now! 😉
We are only 10 days away from Christmas! I did pick up some more lights for the tree in my bedroom, but then I decided to use them above the fireplace.
There’s something about the coziness of a fire 🔥 that draws me to the warm glow when I come inside from chores. Just a few more finishing touches and I’ll be ready for a cozy, country Christmas. 🎄⭐️
Video shows me decorating around the fireplace and a few of my favorite ornaments. Pics are after the fire started getting me a little too hot. 🤭🔥
🤜🏻Weekly Plank Challenge: Week 14, 10.5 Minutes🤛🏻
I was trying to hold out on posting my plank for this week until it went live on my (@oftv) channel, but it should be posted soon?! Until then, you can watch it here!
Another week is down! I can’t say I felt strong while doing this, but it always feel great to succeed when I push myself a little further and further each week.
Head down and digging deep I’m going to try to push for 11 minutes coming up next week! 💜🙌🏻+☝🏻
🥰 Thanks to all of my supporters for pushing me to be so strong! 😘
Only 12 more days until Christmas! Turns out I am not prepared this year and late on getting my decorating finished up. 🤭 Some of you know I am good to my word, a hard worker, and I don’t like not completing things, BUT I am fashionably late pretty often and my array of obligations interferes with my personal life more than I’d like to admit.
These pics and videos aren’t explicit … they are only a look inside a little part of my life and time with me as I try to get things together for Christmas. 🎄I am sporting some cute lingerie, but for now it’s relatively full coverage … ❤️🔥🧑🏻🎄
Bonus points if you message me where Aurora Dora took her 2023 northern lights photo … it would give us something to chat about. 🥰
I’m usually one to decorate for Christmas early enough that I get to enjoy my decorations for at least a month, but this year it looks like I’ll only get to enjoy them for a couple of weeks. 🤦🏼♀️ 🤷🏼♀️ Over the next few evenings I am planning to make time to give my farm some Christmas cheer. 🧑🏻🎄 I did get a tree up in my bedroom 🎄and have a couple of ornaments from Alaska that I went ahead and hung up, but it still needs a lot of Christmas love.
Stay tuned for more Shelly inspired festivities coming soon as tomorrow starts the official countdown of 12 days until Christmas!! ❄️😍❤️🎅🏻💚🥰❄️
Some days it’s easy to find something to smile about 🐎 O gave me lots of reasons this past weekend as we finished our last show for 2023. Collecting ribbons is a tangible way to appreciate our hard work, but sometimes the less desirable colors mean more than the blues. In a field of some really fancy horses my rescue OTTB held his own and made me feel like a winner after each and every one of our rounds. 💙🐎💙 Good boy, O!
💜 The very best things about horses can’t be measured by ribbons and aren’t shown in classes, they come from time spent together and bonds nothing else surpasses. 💜 For nothing more than kind hands and a pat on his shoulder, my horse’s infinite worth reflects the truest form of love from the heart of his beholder.
I know I post a lot of plank videos lately, but I try to mix in some other topics too. In case you missed my last OFTV episode it reviewed why blanketing horses may or may not be something to consider as winter weather sets in over the next few months. ❄️🐴💜
It is true that many horses may not ever need to be blanketed and an ill-fitted or inappropriate blanket can do more harm than good for your horse. However, in some cases blankets really are necessary for the comfort and welfare of our equine partners.

Thanks to @oftv for posting the video and @onlyfans for the platform to share with all of my favorite fans 🥰
🙌🏻Week 13 of the Plank Challenge = 10 Minutes!!🙌🏻
I’m a couple days behind on sharing the link, but week 13 of the plank challenge has come and gone!
Some weeks feel extra busy and then add in the holiday season amongst life and work, and it can be hard to juggle it all. I missed everyone while I stepped away for the last week, but some of the dust has settled and now here is a 10 minute plank for yall! 😍💪🏻

As always, thanks to those who are always here, patiently waiting for me with so much love and support. 💜
This video started out with me getting ready for work, then I mentioned an article I had read and how the comments bothered me. That lead to my reflections below….
A couple days ago I clicked on an article about a few girls on OnlyFans. The article was talking about how the girls had made a significant amount of money here, sharing content about their lives. The article spoke of their talents and what they shared with their fans who obviously adore them and the life they have created. I finished the article feeling proud of the ladies. I could even relate on a very small scale to the satisfactory feeling that has come with my little bit of success since becoming active on my page a few short months ago, but that’s not where this post ends. The next thing I did was click to read the comments.
The disturbing misconceptions, hate filled speech, and unfair assumptions about these creator’s character, intent, and content in the lines beneath the article shifted my feelings of pride for the girls to feelings of rage, frustration, and bitterness towards the self righteous haters leaving visual proof of verbal abuse publicly smeared below their hidden identities. Their textbook definitions of what defines a decent human simultaneously exemplified their disqualification as one with their post as another of their nominal contributions to the world.
While some creators choose to share intimate areas of their life that could be outside of what is socially accepted, they do so within the bounds of their page where it must be sought out, often behind a paywall in an effort to protect against inappropriate exposures.
Many creators do not share more than everyday content suitable for audiences of any age and remain completely neutral amongst controversial topics.
The bottom line is that behind the profiles of the entertainers discussed were real human women. Women who have at times opened up about their personal life and emotions, they have shared vulnerabilities, goals, and desires. They have worked incredibly hard to earn the respect, to maintain the interest, and have been paid voluntarily by their fans for the products to fairly produce their self generated income. Before we clump everyone together in this place as a hopelessly lost, indecent and uneducated, incapable person let’s consider that maybe they are more than what you see and what they offer, more than their sexuality, which is and will forever be a part of any human existence.
It’s taken me a long time and a lot of work to become comfortable in and with my body. I’m still a work in progress, but coming here has only further convinced me that I am beautiful, visually and spiritually. I currently have a free page so I attract some of the haters and the curious, but I hope they find this message and my page helps prove that @onlyfans is better than the comments people share below the articles. There are some amazing people who exist here as creators and fans. Let’s bring more attention to that…💜
The other thing I should mention here is that some of the people I work for, I know they would judge me harshly for being here and that makes it even harder to work alongside of them. It’s hard to only have a small slice of time to give to something that seems to appreciate me so much more … thank you to all of my fans who make me feel this way and for making this place what it is. The comments aren’t always right and they aren’t always worth reading.
Pics to unlock are just a few extras of me getting ready. If they generate me some income by supporting fans, then yay for me, but as always it’s the choice of my fans to support or not. I’m not taking anything from anyone. Just trying to spread some kindness and love. 💜 I’ll step down off of my soap box now ✌🏼🕊️ 😘
I’ll even give the reason for the price on this one since it’s become my little game … $22.73 = $Ca.re
If we could all show that we care a little more about kindness, then we’d all be a little better off.
🩷🖤Weekly Plank Challenge: Week 12, 9.5 Minutes ❤️💙
I am working on a personal best each week and so far I’ve been successful in reaching the bar. Thank you guys for sticking with me!! 🙌🏻 Check out the video of week 12 to see if week 13 will be added to the queue?? 💪🏻

“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little bit of extra.” - Jimmy Johnson
Some days we need to just take a little time for ourselves to do whatever it is that makes us feel alive. Life is demanding and if we aren’t careful those demands can spiral out of control, consuming who we are. Taking time to breathe, stepping away from stress, and reflecting on what makes your life worth living is a noteworthy part of our process that deserves cognitive experiences.
Today I’m whispering a reminder to find time outside of work for the things you work for, for whatever it is that makes you exist with synergy. For me, I work hard so I can live synergistically amongst some of the most majestic animals in the world. 💙 What is it that you work for and love that gives your life the bit of extra that transforms ordinary into extraordinary? 💜
