What’s Inspiring Me This Week?
Here’s A Few Highlights I’d Like To Share!
Card Of The Week – Faith, Hope & Love
There are but three things that last:
Faith – hope – and love –
And the greatest of these is love.
Do You Have The Courage To Be You?
Do you know what your purpose is in life?
Do you have the courage to pursue it?

Hi Dagmar,
I’m not sure why there’s a problem uploading your pictures (I went in manually and tried to assist but also had difficulty) – could it be the size?
You can always try uploading manually from your hard drive if it won’t pull from your site.
Regardless, thanks for joining us – always looking for closet makeover tips! 🙂

Wow , to think I almost missed Bon Jovi on your blog! Bon Jovi – yeah!! Big fan here (in case you hadn’t noticed.) Honestly not sure which version I prefer, love them both. I like the harmony singing of the 2nd version.
