Inspirational Journeys: A new blog

Hello. How are you? Have you ever felt you could follow your dreams if you get a little inspiration or encouragement? Do you, as I do, enjoy surrounding yourself with inspiration, friendliness, and encouragement? Do you like to inspire and be inspired? If so, you are in the right place.

     I will be starting out by posting on Wednesdays. I am apt to post about anything that relates to inspiration, creativity, education, sharing, and life’s journeys, as well as DUO Inspirations’ products and services.

     Inspiration is an interesting and “feel good” source. It can tug at your heartstrings, bring out the tears, and motivate people to do wonderful things. However, inspiration can be sweet and simple as well. It doesn’t have to be a heroic story of saving someone from death or running the extra mile.

     Everyone has a journey in life. They may even split their life into many journeys. More importantly, everyone can be a source of inspiration. I guess that is why I titled this blog, “Inspirational Journeys.” Everything we do or don’t do is part of our journey. You have much to share and so do I.

     I will be looking for inspirational quotes, books, sites, products, services, anecdotes, and ideas.   If you are interested, please feel free to comment below or contact me. I would love to chat with you and welcome you into this inspirational community. The diversity of guest posts will be a welcomed addition to Inspirational Journeys. Let’s make the world a better place, “one inspiration at a time. “

I love this new blog, Jodi. I think all of us can learn from each other and gain and give inspiration. Something that comes to mind for me is the idea of never giving up... keep trying, learn from our past experiences, and hopefully make it better the next time we try. All of us are doing the best we can at any given time, and we need to remember that, not only with others but for ourselves... especially ourselves. I've been too hard on myself when I think of things from the past, but guilt or whatever it is, isn't helpful.

I'll share something personal here... because of several back surgeries and a lot of pain issues, I used to take narcotic pain medicine daily. This didn't help my marriage, but at the same time, I was doing the best I could. I stopped taking them daily about ten years ago and I'm proud of myself... for many years I felt guilty when I thought about how this all affected my marriage and my relationship with my daughter... she and I were fine but much later, she seemed to hold resentment about it - which only brought on more guilt for me. So eventually I learned to forgive myself. I learned from all of that and now I hope to make more effective decisions based on that experience.

Anyway, I thought I'd post that in the hopes we all can get a conversation going about all sorts of things - inspirational stories and such. Again, great new blog, Jodi.
