Inspiration Report

I loved your responses to “How to Beat the Blues”. A few of you mentioned listening to music as a way to lift your spirits, and I agree! I’ve always got some tunes in my ears to help me navigate through the day. It got me thinking about happy songs and which ones help you…

Last week, we were talking about the tricks you use to get yourself out of a funk. Here are a few of the responses: “I always say my ‘thank you’ prayers. The format is just ‘Thank you God for…’ and I list everything positive in my life. I usually do this before I go to…

Feeling stuck? Need some nuggets of inspiration. Take a few of these quotes with you as you take on the challenges of life. “I choose to focus on not what has happened but what we can do.” Ellen Pompeo “Your dreams will come true, but you have to make them come true.” Michael Jackson “I…

Today’s post is from guest blogger Joann Davis. Enjoy! When I was growing up in the 1950s, the arrival of Labor Day meant one horrible thing—that the lazy dog days of summer were over and that the opening of school was just around the bend. We kids would soon be back at our little wooden…

Today is Patriot Day. I hope you can take this day to remember the men and women who lost their lives in the tragedies of 9/11. We also honor those who fought for our country that day and every day since. Take a look at our special page and be inspired by how far we’ve…

Here’s your funny video for the week. It baffles me why kids fight sleep. Please, somebody tell me to go take a nap and I’m ready. But this little guy is holding on to being awake the best he can. What’s funnier is how his big bother seems oblivious. Here’s to hoping when you do…

Sometimes, frankly, life is hard; it’s easy to get into a funk and stay there. So, what do you do when you’re feeling depressed?…

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” Prov. 23:7a I was never athletic growing up. I toyed around with working out now and then, but really, my youth and subsequent 20s were mostly spent sitting down somewhere. That said, this past weekend I ran my second half marathon. I even beat my…

Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. For young children all the way up to working adults logging on to Web classes, school is in session. There’s nothing I miss about being in school, and this time of year always makes me smile as I notice that “back-to-school” advertisements do not pertain to me.…

A playlist of songs that make me smile is essential to keeping me happy and inspired. Here’s another one by the band OneRepublic. I first heard this song during the movie trailer for Eat Pray Love. It always reminds me of one of my favorite quotes. “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at…
