Monday Whatevers

Hello, Friend! 

It’s Monday, so… inspired by on one of my favorite bits of the Bible, let’s start every week off with a little bit of whatever’s good and noble in the world. Here are a few excellent and noteworthy things I’m seeing and loving right now. 

*Paid subscribers, please feel free to share in the comments whatever is good that you’re seeing in the world as well.  

Blessings,
Marcie
