Thought For The Week

Droplet

New Year’s Day.
A fresh start.
A new chapter in life waiting to be written.
New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved.
Answers to be discovered and then lived
In this transformative year of delight and self-discovery.
Today, carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream,
Pen in hand.
Only dreams give birth to change.

Music To Inspire You

Welcome to Music Moves Me!
To kick off the New Year, Amethyst has invited us to share songs
That are new to us that we can’t get enough of.
I am really looking forward to hearing some great new tunes this week!

I am a fan of The Voice and this season,
I fell in love with Ed Sheeran’s song, Thinking Out Loud,
When he performed it on the show.
For my pick, I am sharing that performance with you!

Enjoy the music and have a yourself a wonderful week!

For more creative inspiration,
Join us for Wordless Wednesday and Friendship Friday!

Talent is timeless.

Inspire Me Monday #157 – Week Of January 4, 2015

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!
Judy Palmer

    OMG love this song. Ed is so good and this song is one of my all time favorites of his.

  37. SOMETHING WONDERFUL

    Some wishes have been granted
    Some dreams have not come true
    Some fervant prayers were answered
    Some plans have fallen through
    Some folks have made us happy
    Some others let us down
    Some days we couldn’t help but smile
    Some days just made us frown
    Some opportunities were lost
    Some chances came our way
    Sometimes we wanted to let go
    Sometimes we said let’s stay!
    Some years disappointed us
    Some years were really great
    Something wonderful will happen…but…
    Sometimes we have to wait!

  38. FABBY says:

    Gorgeous voice, I love it too! Thank you for the party.

    Hugs,
    FABBY
