Inspire me Pink!

Welcome to my first Pink Saturday post! I am thrilled to join Beverly over at How Sweet The Sound and the long list of ladies that share a little PINK inspiration.

Let me first say I had planned to pre-schedule my post last night. After work I came in and decided to do a bit of organization in my tiny laundry room. I had clothes on washing, while cleaning out the shelves. When the washer began pumping out the water...water began rolling down the wall! The drain apparently is clogged. I jumped off the step stool and turned off the machine but there was a huge puddle of water to clean up. So yes, real life happens and I am up sipping coffee this morning, typing up my post.


A few years ago I attended an event for Scrapbookers in a town just outside of Birmingham. The entire theme of the weekend was PINK ! Not only were there classes on making scrapbook items but the speakers were inspiring. Women sharing about their lives in such a way to remind us how we are all connected. My getting back into blogging has also reminded me of this. Women sharing their lives, their dreams, their talents, their inspiration with all of us. Reaching out to other women and touching our lives. I would like to thank EACH of you for sharing that passion and reminding us with your shared creativity that we each have the power to inspire someone every day. Even though we may not realize it. Your words do reach out and touch others.

I have read blogs on trials in our lives, on triumphs in our lives, on the daily challenges that face us. I read the ones where people are sharing their creative talents with us; inspiring us to find a simple junk store item and turn someone else's trash into a treasure for our homes. Blogging truly is a community come together by the dynamics of the Internet. Like the old quilting circles where women sat around pushing thread through fabric weaving together not only something beautiful and warm for their families but sharing their stories, enriching the lives of those in the circle.

So today not only do I share a beautiful color with you! I celebrate each of YOU!!! That take the time in your busy daily lives to post a blog. To share your stories, your talents, your ups and downs, your courage, the love for your families, your strength and yes, your weakness also. For every word is a work of {heart}. Your words INSPIRE me.

One last pink photo. Last weekend my daughter and I attended a baby shower of one of her friends. She is expecting a little girl and this was the centerpiece made by one of the hostesses. Another work of love and shared creativity!

  2. Well, Sherri, I discovered your blog on the Pink Saturday list, and I must say that it's too bad we don't live in the same town. I think we could be great friends. I've already read three or four of your posts, and I love your sense of humor.

  36. Hi Sherri, your laundry story brought back a total nightmare event with my washer. I started a wash and left the house to run errands. Three hours later I came home to a river flowing out my doors. Water covered my entire first floor of my house. Life as we knew it ended for weeks. On top of total chaos I slipped on the wet floor and had five stitches in my head. All ended well with new carpet etc. We do have real life slow us down from time to time.

    Your text today was so well written and so true.
    the exchange of everything we write about is a true expression of our need to connect with other women. Time consuming, yes, but so worth it. I adore the centerpiece for the baby shower. I have never seen anything like that before. Your scrap booking event sounds wonderful and PINK, the best color of all.

    Hug...Jeanne
