Sparkle #54: Set good intentions for this week

Hello wonderful people and happy Monday! This week we will have posts celebrating three interesting events – Good Friday, Easter and to add a little fun, April Fools Day! For today’s inspiring Monday post, I wanted to take a moment and talk about Good Friday & Easter and how we can celebrate the spirit of these important days by having the right intentions and actions in our lives. We all know the story and rituals behind these two days, but do we embrace the values and teachings they symbolize?
