Here we are on another Monday! Where does time go? I can clearly remember when I was a LOT younger that time seemed to DRAG by…….I was always “waiting forever” for something I was looking forward to doing. These days – so many years later – I wish time would slow down. But it doesn’t – and it won’t. We just keep going! Anyway, I hope this Monday will give us all something positive to pull us through this week, especially for those of us who need to feel inspired to carry on.
You all know by now that SPARKS was the idea of Annie of McGuffy’s Reader and while Annie is taking a much deserved and needed blog break, those of us who loved her idea of SPARKS and sharing a little “light” and inspiration are carrying on. My SPARK today is for those who have big changes in their lives – maybe even ones they never expected – or ones they never would have wished for. You’ll see what I mean…………..
Starting over is never easy…….moving on is never easy……..but our roads are RARELY smooth so we need to be able to handle those twists, turns, ups and downs so maybe – just maybe – we need to think of those changes as a chance to FLY……………
We LOVE new beginnings!
Love and licks,
Cupcake

While I would not want to repeat many of the things that were detours and bumps along the not so smooth road of life, they all have formed me and my loved ones to the way we are now. Resilient I think is a good way to call it. If we do not get tried and tested we may not ever know what potential we have within us. I have used those experiences now to help others through some of their own trials.. It is God’s way of shaping us into whom He wants us to be.

Wisely put…..it’s EXACTLY the “flavor” of the SPARK I chose……exactly.
