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

Glad you like it! I love the original version too but it’s more “powerful”.

Happy Monday after Easter! I could not resist sharing my link today because well, I can’t stay away- but I have a poem I REALLY want to share that goes live tomorrow (12 AM).
