Inspiration List

Some Mondays it’s just a little bit more difficult to get going. I am sure we’ve all had that sluggish back-to-work feeling at some point. So, I decided to use this week’s weekly digest to inject some #NRG and inspiration into our week. Have a listen or a read and see where it leads you. (The music list really helped me this morning.)
