Happy Monday! Thanks for being here for Make A Difference Mondays, a place to get intentional about starting our weeks focused on the positive and put our heads together to dream up ways we can make a difference in this world!
I just want to thank you all for taking the time to visit She Lives Free and this little linkup each week. I’ve been blessed beyond measure by the inspiring, generous, wonderful people I’ve come to know thus far through Make A Difference Mondays!
My only wish is that I could spend more time on each and every blog that is linked in the linkup each week. There is a real person behind each avatar, and a story behind every blog. Lovely readers – I mean it when I say I want to know you more! So as I thought about what intentional steps I can take to make a small but meaningful difference this week, I realized I would want to put connecting with you more at the top of my list! If you are reading this, and I have not yet commented on a post you’ve linked to Make A Difference Mondays, would you be so kind as to introduce yourself and your blog in the comments? That would help so much! And to that end, I would so appreciate if any/all of you could reach out there, this week and every week – the two way dialogue helps us gel into more of a community and less of just a linkup! 🙂 That is why my intentional time this week will be set aside just for extra community building amongst the Make A Difference Monday community. Let me know if you feel inspired to do the same! Thanks friends!
Make A Difference Mondays is a weekly linkup designed to encourage and inspire us to live each day on purpose—making a meaningful difference in someone’s life in even the smallest of ways. There will be five women regularly co-hosting this link-up that will appear on all five of our blogs and we also have three wonderful co-hosts who will fill in as guest hosts on the occasional day that a regular co-host is not able to post. Read on to learn more about our vision, mission, and how to link up!
Mission
Our mission is to provide a consistent gathering place for like-minded women to build online connections, share inspiration, and provide mutual encouragement and accountability as we seek to live intentionally and make a difference in the lives of those around us.
Vision
Every Monday we will invite bloggers to link-up any blog posts that encourage women to live life on purpose. This could include testimonies or goals from your own life, small acts of kindness or service, creative tips or ideas for showing consideration to others — the possibilities are endless. Our objective is to use our God-given time and resources to His glory!
Also, just a heads-up: the Make A Difference Mondays team has created two fun new ways to keep us all connected! Now we have our own facebook community group to stay in touch beyond the blog posts AND we also have a new #MADMlinkup group Pinterest board! We will be pinning our favorite posts from the linkup that inspire and encourage us to make a difference. We are so grateful for you and would love for all of you to join us for fellowship in the above linked community group and you can follow the Pinterest board right here to watch for your posts: Make A Difference Mondays Pinterest Board

Hi Sybil,
You have taken the time to comment on my posts, but I just thought I’d take a moment to say “hi” to you here, and say thanks for hosting this week! I was wondering who the other hosts were? I usual link up from Michelle at Trust Me, I’m a Mom. Have a wonderful day!

Sarah! Thanks so much for stopping and for the invitation to Saturday Soiree! I am going to have to put a reminder in my phone for that, sounds great!! Looking forward to visiting you in the linkup! : )
Hi Sybil! I have visited and linked up several times since you started. I was so excited to see you pop up over at CandaceCreates blog for the writing blog hop. I’m looking forward to reading your responses to the writing questions and to meet the friends you introduce. I introduced Candace last week on my blog and love the community of writers that are being introduced. Thank you for this link up. Blessings, Mary
Hi Mary! So sorry for the delay in this response – it’s been crazy busy lately and I’m playing catch up but I am SO glad you stopped to say hi! I love the community of writers that are being introduced in the blog hop as well and I’m looking forward to sharing my piece soon – probably this Wednesday! Hope your week is off to a great start! : )
Thanks for your encouraging words again! My little space of the internet is Happy Healthy Holy Home, and my mission over there is to promote balance in life, and teach others how to care for their mind, body, soul and family in the right ways. 🙂
Love to you! xx
