There creative gifts and talents with those in need.

What gifts could you share with others that could be a blessing this week?
What programs exist in your community that you could be a part of?

Music To Inspire You – We Didn’t Start The Fire

Happy Memorial Day to you, dear friends! This week’s theme for Music Moves Me is a Freebie! My pick for the week is Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start The Fire – a Number One song that chronicles historical events that occurred between 1949 (the year of Billy Joel’s birth) and 1989 (the year the song was released on his album Storm Front).

If you’re a history buff and would like more information about the specific events that the song lyrics reference, visit Wikipedia.

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

      Dear Jenise,

      I sure hope you didn’t hurt yourself by nearly falling off of that chair! Perhaps I need to put a disclaimer with my features: I am NOT responsible for injuries due to the excitement of seeing your work featured – lol! 🙂

      Seriously, Jenise, your project was FABULOUS and it was my husband who first spotted it and e-mailed it to me (and I almost fell out of my chair when I saw it!) I LOVE high heel shoes but my feet balk at the sight of them – so what a PERFECT way to feature a much-loved fashion item!
