Today’s Shunday Mash is all about inspiration. You should never give up, even when the odds are stacked right against you and all seems lost.
I have something to show you in a while so you’ll see what I mean.
But first …
INFESTASHUN: This is probably not the most feel-good post you’ll ever read but it makes you appreciate living in the 21st century. I’m sure there were a lot of good things about the good old days, but this wasn’t one of them. It’s the history of bed bugs by Maggie Anderson. Very funny.
LIFE TUISHUN: The brilliant Marcy Kennedy was at Myndi Shafer’s blog a little while ago, but I only just got to it. Her post is called Life Lessons from a Great Dane. She also has the perfect answer for ‘What do you feed that thing?’ Love it.
FICSHUN: Wonderful post from Colleen Patrick on writing fiction, and what makes it great. Some wonderful quotes here. Find it here at her blog.
INSPIRASHUN: This is from the wonderful August McLaughlin; it’s about a woman who survived a rape attempt in a foreign country. It will send a shiver up your spine. Inspiring.
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISISHUN: Found this at Sara Wolpert Foster’s blog. It’s called ’50 Shades of Are You F-ing Kidding Me’ so that should give you a clue as to what this is about. I love the way she wrote this. Take a look at this and see what you think about the questions she raises. Brilliant.
EXPLORASHUN: Cora Ramos read Sara’s post and had some further thoughts on the subject. You should read both posts. They both make some excellent points on a very topical subject. Find Cora’s blog here.
And finally, here it is. THE INSPIRASHUN.
No doubt there are times you have felt like this little mouse. Take heart!

Isn’t he a great little mouse!
Aw… What an inshm-iring smashup! Thanks so much for including my interview with Keri Potts. She definitely exemplifies your great opening—never giving up with odds are stacked high and all seems lost. Off to check out Cora and Sara’s post. Happy SHUNDAY!
I never realized till you mentioned it, but Keri does fit with the video, doesn’t she? What an amazing young woman.
Make that “when” not “with” odds…
Oh that commercial is one of my faves! Thanks for the sharing my link Colin!!
