Inspiration Report

I love this video, because it so illustrated the point that, when everything looks half-empty, you can realize just how full your life really is.

I schedule a lot, probably too much. Even down to my meals, I have a mental calendar (and several tangible ones) of everything I’m doing at least two weeks out. It comes in handy when I’m at work, because I’m very goal-oriented. The checklist gets crossed off every day. I’d love to think this brings…

How many contemporary Christian music artists does it take to sing a Beatles’ song? Apparently a hallway’s worth.

What’s holding you back from being creative? Maybe you’ve got a book idea or you’ve always wanted to be a part of community theater. Really, what’s stopping you?Ever since I was in the second grade, I’ve wanted to be a writer. When the Challenger shuttle exploded in 1986, I was seven years old. I still…

I like to highlight different organizations that are making the world a better place or simply bringing do-gooders to the forefront. It’s inspiring for us all to know that everyone can make a difference and here are a few who are. From Charlie Sheen’s outrageous “winning” behavior to up-to-the-minute media coverage of Lindsay Lohan’s trips…

I’m utterly fascinated by the life of Zora Neale Hurston. She is among the prominent voices of the Harlem Renassaiance in the 1930s.…

There is truly nothing better than the sound of a baby laughing. I don’t even have kids, and I chuckle every time I see something like this. I saw this YouTube video making the rounds on Facebook a few days ago, and now the national media has picked up on it. It’s been a hit…

I’ve had a love for the written word ever since I was a child. I guess that’s why I became an editor for a living. My parents used to read to me every night, and I can remember every nursery rhyme book I’ve ever enjoyed. As you can image, Dr. Seuss was always one of…

Here’s a great example of using fame for good. For his 17th birthday (March 1), teen pop star Justin Bieber asked his fans to donate money to Charity:Water, an organization that provides clean drinking water for impoverished countries. He wrote on the charity’s Web site: “This year, I really want my birthday to be all…
