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

Wind Beneath My Wings is a wonderful song when thinking of moms. I know my Mother is the wind beneath my wings. She is an amazing woman. I’m in awe of all that she does and continues to do. Beautiful song tribute for all moms, Ramona! I hope you had an extraordinary M-Day yourself! Now, I’m off to visit some of your featured bloggers. Have a tunetastic week!

Bette Midler is a favorite of mine for a long time. Great song choice for a tribute to your Mom, and very impressive and so was your Mom wow she did a time in the Marines. She must’ve been a very strong woman. What an idol to look up too. You have every right to be very proud my friend. Hugs… also felt pinwheels I’ve never heard of those. I buy pinwheels all the time to put on my daughter’s gravesite. I bet the felt ones would last a lot longer. Gonna have to look around for those. Have a rockin’ week dear friend, and I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s day & to all your mama kitties too! ~hehehe~
Happy Monday!
I hope it’s sunny all around and the moms received a lot of love yesterday.
Greetings, We hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day and that this week treats you well. We once again thank you for hosting a great party. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Denise W. & Aubrie B.

Thank you for hosting this linky! I have shared my Teaspoon and Tablespoon Equivalents kitchen printable and May Real Food Meal Plan.
I actually sang that song to my Mom one time.

I love that song Wind beneath my wings.
And what a nice tribute to your mom!

Love this blog hop community idea. This week I was inspired by my own little rescue rascal Kilo who embraces life with such enthusiasm, as well as several other amazing rescue dogs speaking out against Puppy Mills. X Susie
