Inspiration Report

“If only for today, I am not afraid.” Berlin The last few blogs have been about following your dreams and doing big things with your life. We’ve talked about bucket lists and examined the life of adventurer John Goddard. So, now let’s talk about you. What’s holding you back? What is standing between you and…

I’m still thinking about the idea of bucket lists and to-do lists. When I sent out last week’s blog, a family friend sent me the name of John Goddard, and I can’t believe I haven’t heard of him before. Sky dive, deep dive, kayak, mountain climb, read the Bible cover to cover, compose music… When…

Any song played on the ukulele makes me happy. Somehow I stumbled upon this Beach Boys cover of “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” by She & Him. I hope it makes you smile like it did for me.

I was out Tuesday night and ran into a friend of mine who is on a quest worthy of blogging. He told me that his friends chide him, because he never watches the news. And why would he? He’s too busy with his to-do list. Let me say that his to-do list looks nothing like…

This is my favorite inspirational videos by pastor and author Joel Osteen, and I know it will touch your heart no matter where you are today. Hopes and dreams are what drive us to press on; however, it’s so easy to give up when it seems like it’s taking too long. This goes out to…

A good friend of mine hipped me to the “rice experiment”. It’s an eye-opening visual on the kind of effect our words and energy have on something as basic as food. Take a look at these videos. This isn’t a gag. If you don’t believe these results, do an Internet search for rice experiment and…

My editor sent me this short video, and as soon as I saw it, I wanted to share it with you. It gets me thinking about what we leave behind. What messages do you want the next generation to know? What do you want your children to always know about you? Think about it and…

To wrap up BFF week (and in honor of Lucille Ball’s birthday on Saturday), I found the cutest video. It’s from the 1950s landmark sitcom, I Love Lucy. Here Lucy and her friend Ethel rehearse a song about friendship. May we all have friends like this. See the other blogs: Who’s Your Best Friend? You’ve…

So we’ve taken a look at the kinds of friends we all have or would like to have. Now it’s time to look at ourselves. How can you be a better friend? There are so many ways but here are a few… Don’t be jealous. Or if you are, just admit it and get over…

It’s all about inspiring friendship this week.  We talked about our best friends and heard a great song about friendship by James Taylor and Carole King. Now, it’s time to highlight some great friends everyone should have. If you’re lucky, you can find these traits all in one person, but for most of us, the…
