Yesterday, I shared with you some things that inspire me to get out of the funk and get back into living in freedom. One of the best ways to be inspired, however, is to volunteer. It does our souls good to give our time and energy to a worthy cause. While giving money is important […]
Weekend Fun & Freedom to Inspire
This month I’m talking about Freedom and for this Weekend Fun post, I’m sharing with you things that inspire me to get out of a rut. Sometimes, we get stuck in funks and ruts for whatever reason. If we’re not careful, we can stay there a little too long, making us believe that we don’t […]
