If I Could


To hurt is as human as to breathe.” ― J.K. Rowling

If I could, but I have no words for my words feel weak.

There is pain and sadness filling the voids of time. So many hurting from emotion, from disease, from finances, from life taking a toll. My words feel powerless to heal those that hurt.

If I could comfort more wholly those that I know, I would.

If I could comfort with deeper ability to help, I would.

Many around us hurt as we walk through life. We hurt, we comfort, we live life with all that it presents to us. Will I be able to ease your pain as you have done for me in the past? Will we be able to chase hurt completely from our lives if we try hard enough?

With the pain of hurt I know the joy of laughter, I do.

With the pain of hurt I know I am alive with hope, I do.

For those hurting from finance, from relationship, from injuries, from cancer, from the pain life inflicts; if I could, my words would heal. But my words only provide a ray of hope, a chance to know you will get beyond the hurt.

If I could, there will be words of joy in your life.

Stay inspired my friends.

Imagine a Rainbow


"Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will." - George Bernard Shaw

Many of us grew up with stories of about a pot-of-gold at the end of a rainbow. We would search for the beauty of a departing rain storm hoping that the rainbow would touch us. We never found that pot-of-gold for we could never find the end of the rainbow.

As we grew older, we gave up imagining it ever existed.

Now you may think I'm going to say there actually is gold at the end of a rainbow. You are hoping I will proclaim that all we have to do is chase down the rainbow. It will be there we find our dreams will be fulfilled.

Happiness and success will be ours if only we locate it.

The reality is that a rainbow is simply rays of the Sun bouncing off water droplets in the sky. There is no physical pot that contains gold sitting at the ends of its arc. The rainbow is not where we will find all of our dreams and hopes realized.

Yet, it is in the beauty of a rainbow we can let our imagination flourish.

The rainbow is a reminder that things are possible in our lives. It allows us to imagine that a pot-of-gold in the form of happiness, success and greater good exists. Do not let your imagination or dreaming disappear with the fading rainbow.

Embrace the idea of imagining better things in your life.

Let the imagination of that rainbow be a powerful motivator in your life. Let the rainbow be your reminder to imagine more for your life. Continue to seek out the "end of the rainbow" for those things you dream about.

Stay inspired my friends.

Good Deed Indeed


Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.” - Plato

You have an impact on the lives of others simply by your good actions.

Those actions might be in holding a door open. It might be in helping someone carry packages to their car. It might be simply greeting them with a smile.

Your actions are seen by others. You will be unaware that many of them noticed, but they did. As you pass through your day, others will take note and impressions will be made.

You notice others in the same fashion, influencing your own life; correct?

So when you do good things, when you set a good example, you are helping other people change their lives for the better.

Stay inspired my friends!

Home, It Will All Be Clear


"Seek home for rest, for home is best." ~ Thomas Tusser

Today is the day I am back home.
Today is the day I come off the road for a while.
Today is the day everything becomes clear once again.

Today is the day every one should come home.

Enjoy those moments with family and friends even though you have a busy life.

And stay inspired my friends.
