“Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.”
Anais Nin
Personally, I am inspired by the good people in my life who I adore, who remind me every day that it takes all kinds.
That would be:
My husband, my children (2 of the most unique and talented people I know), my amazingly diverse group of good friends, and the motley crew of truly inspiring co-workers, customers, colleagues, and neighbors that color my days.
I am inspired by the community I live in, and by the general goodness in all of us. This city is so full of good people it’s bursting at the seams. It’s my hope to continue to meet more of them on the journey.
“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”

After so many years of hard work just to live, this project was inspired by the need to find more purpose, and to fulfill the desire to be of service to others and to the world.
I wanted to change. And I wanted to heal. And most of all I wanted to do something that mattered.
Giving just feels so good! That’s pretty inspiring, and truthfully, the kind of feeling you don’t mind getting addicted to 🙂
Thanks for checking out this page – you just might inspire someone today yourself….you never know!
I am glad that you found your purpose, Shira. And yes, what really matters in this life is being able to change the world in our own little ways. May you be an inspiration to the world.
Thank you Aubrey! Your kind words are so encouraging – I look forward to checking out your blog as well – thanks for visiting! 🙂
Beautiful sentiments, Shira ~
