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

Thank you so much Jacqueline – I am so glad you enjoy coming!
The linky should be set up so that you can self-delete any “boo boos” – check and see if you see a red X next to your links –
if not, don’t worry about it. I’ll try to catch it when I’m on the linky!
Thank you for hosting.
enJOY a lovely week,
