Today is World Smile Day. Back in 1963, a Massachusetts artist named Harvey Ball designed the original smiley face and it remains an iconic image of happiness and good will towards others. Having a smile is not as important as giving one away and that’s the spirit of World Smile Day. It reminds us of…

The world said goodbye to a visionary last night as news spread that Apple Computers founder Steve Jobs died. It’s an understatement to say that he was an innovator. Steve Jobs was a game-changer. His work changed the way we, not only do business, but the way we communicate with each other and the world…

You know I’m a fan of TED Talks. These mini lectures can be very interesting and inspiring. This one caught my eye. Have you considered having less stuff? I mean, really downsize your life? I agree with this speaker that our lives have become quite overgrown. We have so much stuff and then we need…

I read all the comments that are posted on this blog. You inspire many of the topics that I cover here on The Inspiration Report. A comment came in on When Were Your Prayers Answered? – which was a piece asking you to talk about times when you prayed for something and received it. Ali…

As I’ve mentioned, autumn blew in a lot of change for me. Seems like overnight, things were different in every area of life – work, family, relationships, and everything in between. Some were good… really good, like things I’d been praying for. Others were sadly unexpected. There were tearfully goodbyes and joyous hellos. It’s been…

I’m a fan of Christine Arylo, but you already know this. I’ve featured her video once before: Christine Arylo on Learning to Love Yourself after Loss.

If you haven’t gotten a chance to read my last blog, here it is and take some time to read the comments. You readers nearly made me cry. You’ve been through some amazingly difficult situations, and yet you still cling to hope and faith. You are so inspiring to me. Since we’ve been talking about…

In my last blog, I mentioned seasons changing. Our lives are forever evolving with days of sunshine and rain, happiness and tears and everything in between. I know that I said that despite the loss, seasons changing is a good thing. However, I know firsthand that when major shifts initially happen, they don’t feel so…

I don’t know about the weather where you are, but here in Virginia, autumn came rather abruptly. It was warm and sunny throughout most of September and then, literally overnight, cold winds began to blow. Summer is gone. Autumn is here. I love summer and I particularly loved this past one. I engaged in a…

Part of staying inspired and optimistic is remembering all the times when things worked out the way you wanted them to. In this world where things fall apart and so often the worst case scenario becomes reality, still, we get exactly what we hoped for some times. Think about it. Do you remember the time…
