Need Inspiration? Meet Holley Barnhart

Holley Barnhart

I shared today’s Scripture with you because
That’s the verse that comes to mind when I think of Holley Barnhart –
A stamper and card-maker who has overcome great medical odds
(Including paralysis, seizures, and brain surgery)
To pursue her love of art!

I encourage you to read her incredible story.
Then, celebrate her victories as she gives back to the community
In a month-long giveaway (accessible from my sidebar!)

Inspire Me Monday

I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!
