Welcome To 2024
Happy New Year to you, dear friends!
It’s been WAY too long since we’ve gathered –
So I’m thrilled to invite you to kick off 2024 with me!
January is one of my favorite months of the year
Because it’s the month of Fresh Starts.
In keeping with that theme,
I’d like to share a few special opportunities with you!
To kick off the month,
I’d like to invite you to a VERY special event!
Monday, January 8 through Thursday, January 11,
I am part of a very special event –
The You Are Made For More Conference –
And I’d like to invite you to attend on the house!
You Are Made For More is an inspiring conference
That features more than a dozen speakers –
Including me –
Whose goal it is to help you overcome any obstacles
So you can live the life God created you to live!
I will be speaking on Wednesday, January 8 about
How To Make Time For God (Even On Your Busiest Of Days)
So let me know if you’ll be joining me–
I’d love to see you there!
Next, I’d like to invite you to inspire us all by
Sharing your Word Of The Year –
An annual practice that helps us set our intentions and focus
And serves as a beacon to guide us,
Clarify our hopes, dreams and intentions,
And help us achieve our goals!
For 2024, my Word Of The Year is IMAGINE
And my Verse Of The Year is Ephesians 3:20-21.
As I continue to grow Light And Manna,
I want to Imagine everything that’s possible for this ministry
In spite of any fears, resistance or limiting beliefs I may encounter
Because God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above
All I can imagine!
So what’s your Word Of The Year?
Do you have a verse to go along with it?
Look forward to reading your inspiring posts!

Music To Inspire You
Welcome To Music Moves Me!
Do you have a song to get you going
Whenever you need to get pumped up?
My go-to get-my-creative-juices-flowing song is the
Theme From Rocky – Gonna Fly Now –
An appropriate theme anthem for 2024!

Inspire Me Monday #576 – Week Of January 8, 2023
I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

Hi Pam, SO appreciate your support!
I believe that when you sign up, you will get access to each day’s presentation for 24 hours so you can listen for free anytime you want on Wednesday once the links go live.
You can also purchase a VIP upgrade for lifetime access if you can’t make it or want to listen to everyone’s at your own convenience.
I know a few of the people who are speaking but most are new to me so I can’t wait to tune in – the focus and topics for the conference are amazing and empowering and I’m so happy I was invited to be a part of it! 🙂
