Change Quote

Can you believe it’s the 3rd week of January already?
How are you doing with your New Year’s Goals?
Many of you are still selecting your One Word Inspiration for 2016.
Be sure to share your inspirational posts at our 2016 New Year Blog Hop !

Last week I shared that my One Word for 2016 is FOCUS.
Although I have lots of things I want to accomplish this year,
I’ve decided that my biggest priority for 2016 is Health.
I am currently working on making healthier nutritional choices and
Finding ways to incorporate more movement into my daily life.

I’m excited to share that I’m already seeing results.
Since January 1, I have lost 5 pounds!

Positive Thinking Quote

Paula at Sincerely Paula has also been doing some soul-searching.
She’s a newly single Mom who has a vision for her family
And is trying to figure out how to make her dream come true.

Paula’s word for 2016 is Discovery and already,
She’s finding her goals are leading her into new directions…

Best of luck to you Paula – we support you in all that you do!

Reading Challenge

Change also occurs when we start to shift our perspective,
Not only about the things that impact us on a personal level,
But when we start to care about what matters to others as well.

That’s why I was thrilled when June of Inspired By
Shared that Deidra Riggs is hosting a new Book Club called Forward!

The purpose of this book club is to read books
By authors from different races, cultures and ethnicities than yours.

For more information about this one-of-a-kind book club,

Inspire Me Monday #211 – Week Of January 17, 2016

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

    GIRLFRIEND…. YOU HAVE SOOOOOOOOO ROCKED THE HOUSE! Love your choice and at this time I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining our little group at Monday’s Music Moves Me! Our little clan has been together for five years trying to find music lovers like ourselves to get together at the beginning of the week to start our week out with a great song. I haven’t done so well, but for the ones with music in their heart is definitely with us. My little meme means a lot to me, and I won’t quit. I just know one day it will be a favorite with others all over the world. I hope :(…. Music soothes the savage beast… may it sooth the world. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for joining us! HUGS LOVE YOUR CHOICE OF GREAT TUNES!
