What’s Inspiring You This Week?
Here’s What’s Inspiring Me…
Inspiring Music
December by George Winston
December is one of my favorite albums of all times!
This album is a tribute to the beauty of winter.
December is filled with beautiful piano solos that will
Soothe even the most frazzled of spirits!
It is the perfect album to listen to as you
Write, create, and go about your daily tasks.
Enjoy George’s beautiful album, presented in its entirety!
Many of us burst with creativity during the holiday season!

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

So much to look at, and so much you can do! I’m so jealous. I too decorate my home, but mostly are store bought items, but I do love to decorate. I also love love my Christmas village. I even use torn and spread apart cotton for snow. Your song is very Christmasy and soothing. Great choice my friend. Thank you so for sharing! Have a great day! HAPPY HOLIDAYS./

Hi Ramona – well, after our big snowstorm over the weekend and we couldn’t get out of the house, I had time to work on a few other projects. This week I’m feeling inspired to focus on getting healthy and taking care of myself. That’s been a bit of a challenge since we brought the girls home as I’ve been pretty focused on them for the past few years, but now that Gracie is almost a teenager (!) and Annie just turned 11, it’s time to get mama back in shape. Thanks for including my post from last week as a feature – I’m off to visit some of the other participants and promote the hop at Ruby and everywhere else I wander this week. Have a blessed week, my friend! BIG Hugs, Nina
Thank You SO MUCH for the highlight again this week! I always LOVE your party, it is full of inspirations!
You’re so right….music does soothe the most frazzled of spirits! Thanks so much for hosting. Have a great week!

You too Kathy! There are certain musical artists and labels I turn too when I need soothing. George is one of them!

I’m so glad you liked it Nalia! I’m a huge George Winston fan. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him live several times and he is just as humble as he is talented!
Thanks for sharing your inspirations.
Have a blessed week.
