Inspiration Report

My faith in the future is mostly based on what I’ve seen happen in the past. When I make plans about this year and next, my memories have a lot to contribute to the conversation. I’m sure you’re the same. We all base our beliefs and what we know without question on our experiences. I’ve…

I think we need to hear more about good things. In this world of natural disasters and tragedies of every kind, I want to read about people helping one another and being living, breathing miracles. That’s why I’m starting a series on people who do good. I’m highlighting individuals and organizations who are loving their…

“I should be a better mother.” “I should be in that corner office.” “I shouldn’t feel this way. It’s wrong.” The deadly “should’s” of life… They place little bars of expectation over our heads — telling us what we need to have or how we need to behave in order to be perfect. I agree…

I thought I was out of wedding season, but after New Years, I found many friends getting engaged and planning their nuptials.

Recently it dawned on me that I’ve been complaining a lot. Work woes, weight-gain blues, vague “what-am-I-doing-with-my-life” worries… And generally my life is pretty groovy, so it’s like my brain is hunting for things to be perturbed about. I know you have days like this too — or weeks. Nothing seems right. What do you…

One of the things I enjoy most is watching someone doing what they love. When a friend, loved one or even a total stranger finds their groove in life, it just lights something up on the inside of me. I’ve had countless conversations with people, both young and older, about purpose, callings and passions, and…

The following is from Michele Rosenthal, author of Before the World Intruded: Conquering the Past and Creating the Future. Enjoy! There was a time in my life I didn’t believe I’d ever feel joy again. A horrible illness had befallen me and while I survived it, the rosy glow of joy seemed to have been…
