Inspire Me Monday #186 – Week Of July 26, 2015
I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

Coming to you from the 4Ms hop. I just love The Piano Guys rendition of “Happy Together” but then I love most of the music that these guys produce.

Just popped over to your blog – LOVE the music you shared – and so glad you enjoyed the Piano Guys – I’m sure you’ll be hearing more of them on my blog! 🙂
Hi Ramona!
You are so sweet to have featured me! xoxo!!
I know I’m late this week. . . been having a rough time with migraines. But I know I can always be encouraged here! The Piano Guys video had me laughing out loud!! They are so talented, and funny!
And, I just met Cynthia Rutchi in May at the writing conference I go to!! She is fantastic! What a small world. . . .
I hope you have a wonderful day Ramona! 🙂

I am SO sorry that the migraines are getting the better of you now – I know how terrible it can be to focus when you are experiencing them! I pray you are feeling better soon.
How COOL that you met Cynthia at your recent writing conference – I bet she was an inspiration to meet!
Have a blessed day and we’ll chat more soon! 🙂
Love the idea of using the guitar case as a bookshelf. So cool! Thanks for hosting the hop.
