You Inspire Me {Coffee for My Heart}

Who inspires you?

  1. I guess my reply is 'back at you', Ruth! There's so much inspiration each day that sometimes I am overwhelmed. I guess that's good, right? Looks as if you, too, have a basket that is full. Thanks for including me in that basket!

  2. Knowing you has kept me looking for the good in my life–nothing I do/think is small. When I'm overwhelmed from what/whomever, I think of the BONS. These are the kinds of people I want to be around. Thank you for bringing the good to my life.
